Ron DeSantis said during his 2024 presidential launch that nobody \u201chas made Disney more money than me,\u201d and defended his continued feud with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/facebook-bans-gop-account-allows-inflammatory-dnc-ads\/\" title=\"Facebook bans GOP account, allows inflammatory DNC ads\">media giant<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3>DeSantis vs. Disney<\/h3>\n<blockquote>\n<p>DeSantis and Disney first clashed over the Florida Parental Rights in Education Act, a bill making it illegal to discuss sex and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-has-signed-40-executive-orders-and-actions-since-taking-office\/\" title=\"Biden has signed 40 executive orders and actions since taking office\">gender identity<\/a> with children below fourth grade, who are usually nine years old or younger. Disney opposed the bill, joining critics who dubbed it the \u201cDon\u2019t Say Gay\u201d bill despite it having no explicit reference to any particular sexual or gender identity.<\/p>\n<p>Since then, DeSantis has stripped Disney of its self-governing status, and has threatened further attacks on the company\u2019s Orlando theme park.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3>Defending His Actions<\/h3>\n<blockquote>\n<p>The governor further defended his actions against Disney.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFlorida stands for the protection of children we believe jamming gender ideology in elementary school is wrong,\u201d DeSantis said.\u00a0\u201cDisney obviously <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/desantis-responds-to-disney-criticism-nobody-has-made-disney-more-money-than-me\/\" title=\"DeSantis fires back at Disney criticism: 'I've made them a lot of money'\">supported injecting gender ideology<\/a> in elementary school.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis said that the move to strip Disney of its self-governing status and their defeat over the Parental Rights in Education \u201cwas a big deal because for 50 years, anytime Disney wanted something in Florida politics, they pretty much got it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut not this time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis said Disney wanted to \u201cinject matters of sex into the programming for the youth.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think a lot of parents including me look at that and say that\u2019s not appropriate. I mean, we want our kids to be able to just be kids.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3>Corporate Goodies<\/h3>\n<blockquote>\n<p>In the discussion, DeSantis shot back at GOP criticism, saying that\u00a0\u201cRepublicans that are taking Disney\u2019s side, [are] basically showing themselves to be corporatists because these are all corporate goodies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is not the way you would run a competitive economy. And the arrangement had really outlived its usefulness, but it persisted because Disney was so politically powerful. I think the company\u2019s ethos have changed in a way that\u2019s alienated a lot of people in our legislature and in Florida, and so there was really no justification to keep it,\u201d DeSantis added.<\/p>\n<p>The governor has received growing blowback against his moves, including from some Republicans who have encouraged DeSantis to end the feud.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3>Final Thoughts<\/h3>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Love him or hate him, Governor Ron DeSantis is not afraid to take on big corporations like Disney in defense of what he believes is right for the people of Florida.<\/p>\n<p>Whether or not his feud with Disney will continue remains to be seen, but one thing is for sure: DeSantis is not backing down anytime soon.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2024 presidential launch.
