Disney CEO Bob Iger fought back against Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’ actions against his company, telling Disney shareholders that recent actions by the state were “anti-business.”

The state of Florida has taken action to strip Disney of some of the powers it had over the land that includes and surrounds Disney World. Florida’s move came after the company objected to legislation passed last year to limit discussions of LGBTQ issues in Florida schools, a bill that opponents referred to as the “Don’t Say Gay” law.

In a letter to Florida’s Chief Inspector General Melina Miguel, DeSantis accused the Reedy Creek Improvement District board of “collusive and self-dealing arrangements,” and unspecified ethical violations for taking actions that appeared to thwart his efforts to take over the board. Separately, DeSantis’ office said in a statement that “all legislative options are back on the table” as his administration seeks to claw back power and potentially retaliate against Disney.

Disinformation station

He is not a smart man.. he is an emotional reactor who needs to show off his power. Look at the decisions he is making over education. Nothing makes sense

Hmmmm. Why don't you ask Anheuser-Busch how it's going.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Keep fighting Ron! Don’t let democRat communists indoctrinate our children with divisive, racist critical race theory and the perverted lgbt agenda.

Iger’s “rainbow business model” is a kamikaze nosedive into bankruptcy.

lol Ron actually outflanking democrats on refusing to keep profitable billion dollar corporations afloat with taxpayer money

Good Friend RobertIger empowers Disney to undermine Gov like China wants. China pressures Disney by not showing movies. “Marvel releases denied entry to China for nearly four years” After Iger installed, Avatar 2, Wakanda, Quantamania allowed 🤔

Iger should go swim with the alligators

Bob Iger’s Disney World’s pricing is anti working class families.

Disney needs to remember the phrase 'Don't shit where you eat'

Desantis is a Democrat?

Disney is free to move to another state if they wish, instead of crying about it.

. ...Real Disney compared to South Park Disney? 1) better 2) worse 3) about the same .

Anything about what they are doing to children in that hell hole of a company CNN The utter darkness? How they have subliminal sexual messages in their movies, how they introduce children to trauma, witchcraft…Walt Disney was a Freemason-anything on that CNN & liberals!!

No no no silly goose. Florida is anti woke not anti business. That’s how CNN does it.

Thank you! Fight the fascist governor

TheRickWilson Give him hell, Bob.

Disney are evil brainwashers after your children, big up to florida !

Disney thinks it should operate without any regulations that the rest of businesses in Florida are subject to. Wrong!

Fake news

So Democrats on this thread are loving Disney with $80 billion in revenue. Is it because Ron Desantis bad? Is it because Disney sexualizes children? Or is that a win / win for Democrats?

Move

Your predecessor should have kept his mouth shut.

Disney promotes paedophilia, fact

Ya? And now he’s being sued by the governor…

It's very simple: Go woke, go broke. It's Disney's fault.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 anti-business that's hilarious! All because Florida and DeSantis are not allowing Disney to be in control any longer. There's no other company in the United States that had the perks Disney did stop whining move on.

Iger for President!

AGREED. ✔ I think that UniversalORL SeaWorld would agree also. 👍🏼

🤣🤣🤣 freak show

You 'forgot' to mention Disney shares are down 50% because of their woke garbage amd that Bob got roasted by thecshareholders for it. Also, having to pay taxes like everyone else isn't 'anti-buisiness'. It's just not being privileged like you guys like to accuse others of being.

Do you ever notice CNN only props up Democrats

Your pedophile fake news is leaving out some facts when reporting on the Disney pedophile

Well listen to the state and for every action you take the state has a reaction.

Give me special treatment or your anti-business. Orrrrrrrr they can get same treatment as every other business

It's okay, it's enough that Disney is feeling the strain of the lack of conservative visitors.

Lol

Everything that goes woketard goes broke.

Egor is a joke.

Peda Disney

About time Disney starts contributing like any other business In Florida.

DeSantis needs to enjoy Boomerville while it lasts; cause, Florida will be blue in 5-10 years.

Yeah, whatever… go woke, go broke. Get the gay out of Disney!

Disney is so gay.

CNN sucking off Disney was not on my card for today..

Disney is out to lunch. When all buisness is treated equal....that is pro buisness. I own a small buisness. I know.

That’s what happens when you go super woke which the great majority of Disney’s demographic find offensive.

Hey dude. Get a clue. Disney is DOWN!!!

The actions are not anti-business. They pro equal treatment of corporates. Disney is being stripped of PRIVILEGES that other businesses do not have. When you are used to privilege, equality feels like 'anti-business' policy.

And here come the layoff!!! Oops!

Only if like Disney your business has become pedophilia and grooming

If Disney had stayed out of politics, DeSantis would have stayed out of Disney.

then leave florida disney! cali would love you

Disney had no reason to oppose a bill that states no teaching sex in schools for kindergarten to third graders! That’s a parents job! Your job is entertainment sir! Stay out of politics unless you can handle the consequences. You got exactly what you deserved.

. ...Real Disney compared to South Park Disney? 1) better 2) worse 3) about the same .

Yeah how abt kids being kids Stop the propaganda

Lol…they picked DeSantis to pick a fight with. They picked the wrong guy. Disney thinks they are a state within a state. That just isn’t going to happen.

Now CNN cares about “anti business” tactics by the state. When the state flat out closed millions of businesses, CNN was strangely silent. In fact, CNN promoted business closures

Iger is a relic.

They were anti-grooming not anti-business

F U C K D I S N E Y!

DeSantis is protecting Christian Children from the pedophiles who work for Disney

So predictable that CNN has been going after DeSantis.

Stop with gay cartoons. Kids don’t need to see this crap.

DeSantis: won elections by a larger than 20 points margin. Disney: currently two year 50% loss in stock price mkt value. If you go woke, you go broke. Who’s making the right decisions?

Then Disney needs to stay out of the 'opinion' business!

Lol he used GOP lingo 🫠

Disney thinking they are bigger than Florida. RonDeSantisFL, raise Disney's property tax or designate some areas as wildlife sanctuaries. Done.

Four Disney employees arrested in Florida human trafficking, child predator sting

Businesses should not dabble in politics either.

Iger is going to lose. There is no place in Florida for the woke agenda.

Desantis: “how badly do you want this to hurt?” Disney:

Iger is right.

Actions of Disney are anti family

LOL more like Anti Pedo Groomer. The main Democrat Business.

This coming from a man that is Anti-Childhood

Is that the same CEO of a company in meltdown, producing years of failures, facing legal action after firing multiple numerous high profile staff and laying off thousands more? Lmao

I agree with RobertIger on that notion. OrlandoSentinel

Go woke go broke

That is that is exactly what it seems like anti-business because Disney World is a staple it's a fun place for children to dream dreams. Maybe he think Disney World is taking up too much land in Florida so that open door policy down there in Miami can continue bringing people

Go woke, go broke 😂

Disney’s actions are pro-pedophilia. Gross.
