Former Trump campaign legal adviser Jenna Ellis offered to defend Disney after Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) signed legislation on Friday dissolving the company’s private government.
“Hi @Disney. Open offer to help defend your right to constitutionally protected speech against Florida’s illegal retaliation,” Ellis tweeted, including a link to a Newsweek story about her split with DeSantis over the legislation.
Ellis said in a separate post on Wednesday that “Policy and law must be fair and reasonable. Not vengeful” amid the Florida legislature’s efforts to end Disney’s self-government.
She said while she differed with Disney, “they have a right to speak and support or not support legislation without government consequences. Their customers have a right to react with their dollars. DeSantis is over the line here.”
