Former Disney CEO privately complained to DeSantis about 'pressure' from woke left amid Florida fight: book

Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis joins "Life, Liberty & Levin" to discuss the conservative movement and new book.heated up over an education bill that liberal activists incorrectly labeled the"Don't say gay bill," Disney's then-CEO called Gov. Ron DeSantis and complained about the"pressure" he faced.

DeSantis recounts in his memoir,"The Courage to be Free," what happened behind the scenes in the fight with Disney. The Florida governor said if Disney stayed out of the politics, Disney would face 48 hours of outrage when the bill passed."[And] when I sign it, you will get another 48 hours of outrage, mostly online,'" DeSantis said, adding,"Then there will be some new outrage that the woke mob will focus on and people will forget about this issue, especially considering the outrage is directed at a political-media narrative, not the actual text of the legislation itself.

Yep

More gossip

Yea yea

Thinks being hip is using the word “woke” in every sentence!

DeSantis kicks butt. I can't wait for a debate.

hot ! Ah!

Boycott Florida.

So...Disney wanted to take the bill to court (they have the right to do so) and DeSantis took away their tax-exempt status in retaliation bc HE wasn't comfortable with that? Don't Republicans want government out of business?

Disney is a dead.

DeSantis 2024

Desantis for President. He has balance to serve all Americans not just GOP voters. articulate communication skills. As a Naval officer he understands not leaving soldiers behind like Biden did twice. He has young children & wife who is healing from breast cancer. He gets it!

FauxNews

Shut the place down!!! If they want to continue flaunting that shi

They shouldn't have bowed to the woke left

I would expect DeSantis should have said, you needed to grow a pair.

Leftists twist 'woke' and want to confuse the souls of children. Only parental love can help children lead happy lives. The state and the school are unsuitable as stepparents. Therefore, parents are responsible for their children. But everyone can help with gambling addiction?

Disney rakes in a shit ton of revenue for our State... but also, we would be just fine without it. If you are a Florida native who isn't an abject invalid, you know this is true. To hell with Disney.

then Disney it would be time to slap them down.

Woke is POISON!

True. They were tweeting about this. Even activists were pressure Chapek? (former CEO) to put pressure on state legs & DeSantis. Unfortunately, so was NikkiFriedFL and others in the Fl Democrat party. They knew they were misstating the bill; they kept pushing anyway.

DeSantis 'pressure'

i saw a sign that said 'disneyland left' .so i went home

And you can bet Disney's tax burden.

When you say former…
