DeSantis: ‘We’ve basically moved on’ from Disney’s lawsuit
The Florida governor and GOP hopeful signaled he wanted an end to his war with the company, saying he’d be willing to talk to CEO Bob Iger.
Politico, Aug 14, 2023

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signaled on Monday that he wanted an end to his war with Disney, saying the media giant should drop its lawsuit against the state.

“[W]here we are today, you know, we’ve basically moved on,” DeSantis said during an interview on CNBC’s “Last Call.” “They’re suing the state of Florida, they’re going to lose that lawsuit. So what I would say is, drop the lawsuit.”

The GOP presidential hopeful also indicated that he would be willing to speak with Disney CEO Bob Iger, touting his efforts to keep businesses open during the Covid-19 pandemic.

“No one has made Disney more money recently than me,” the Florida governor said on Monday. “Because during Covid, they were open in Florida.”

Still waiting for you to show where DeSantis violated Disney's Constitutional rights.

How are you going to spin that one, @Right_in_Virginia ?  You are criticizing DeSantis for doing the same thing Trump did.

RIIIIGHT. Encouraging Disney to drop the case because they're gonna LOSE at trial.

A public conciliatory bid for them to stop acting out and come to heel. They've lost already.

Didn't Iger already say he was stopping Disney's DEI and other bullshit in Florida? Does that sound like the actions of someone that thinks they will win?
Disney is hemorrhaging money and can't stop it, Iger has realized that people are fed up with their woke crap and DeSantis is the one who drove the stake into the heart of it in Florida. I don't recall Trump doing diddly spit. But hey in Bizarro World DeSantis weak kneed copycat, Trump strong leader **nononono*

Ronny's mega donors do not want him adding more clutter to a campaign already sinking (He's now in 3rd place in NH, behind Christie).  Ronny has no choice but to obey.

Trump gave Kamala money, too.

@Right_in_Virginia

Seriously?  You are criticizing DeSantis for doing the EXACT SAME THING that Trump did.  Hypocrite much?  (That question was rhetorical.  We already know the answer.)

Also, still waiting for you to show where DeSantis violated Disney's Constitutional rights.  And while you're at it, you can show where his so-called 'mega donors' ordered DeSantis to tell Disney they are wasting their time with a suit they can't win.

I find it quite revealing that you take the side of a woke-ass pedo-corporation like Disney against a Conservative State like Florida.

Well, you are certainly entitled to your opinion but to assume that DeSantis has no choice to obey is ridiculous. Your talking Trump points are humorous.  More clutter??? That was a good one.  :rolling:

It's not even an opinion.  It is simply blurting out the first lie she made up in her head.  Which is why she is NEVER able to back them up.  Ever.  You can ask her for the next 12 months to cite a mega donor ordering DeSantis to do this.  And each request will be met with complete silence.  Why?  Because she made it up.  And she knows she made it up.  And when challenged, she knows it not to be true, but stands by it anyway.  She will even repeat the claim again in the future, knowing what she posts isn't true.  But she does so with the intended purpose to deceive others.  It is what liars do.

DeSantis essentially has already won.  Asking Disney to drop its lawsuit isn't surrendering.
