Disney sues Florida Gov. DeSantis amid feud over self-governing privileges

  1. DeSantis started a war with Disney. Why would we trust him with China?

  2. For the first time in my life I am on the Disney side

  3. Better put on your big boy britches ron.

  4. DeSantis Is TAKING DOWN ONE OF THE BIGGEST OPERATING MACHINES 🎯 CHILDREN!

  5. This attack on a company for having a different opinion than the government is something I would expect to see in Russia or North Korea. Not something I would expect to see here in the US. Shameful …and scary where we seem to be heading..

  6. DeSantis seems to be following the Trump model…plenty of court time in his future.

  7. DeSantis is a little Adolph. Disney as The hostile enemy…? DeSantis is pulling up grass in a fit and that doesn’t help one single person. Anywhere. Ever.

  8. How stupid a politician can you be to go to War with Mickey Mouse? Unbelievable.

  9. Woke World is entitled.

  10. ✨Another win for the tax payers of Florida ✨

  11. Living in Louisiana where big industry gets a pass on paying taxes, I hope Florida mops the floor with Disney. They of course should pay taxes to operate there!

  12. Sue the pants off Ron De-stupido

  13. Its a CLEAR case of a SPECIFIC person (Ron DeSantis), SPECIFICALLY discriminating in SPECIFICALLY an illegal way and SPECIFICALLY stating his grounds for his SPECIFIC Federal civil rights violations against Disney, its business and its people.

  14. A private corporation can’t expect sovereignty in this country. They’d have to buy their own private island. People who think Disney should have its own government are ignorant to how our country works. If Disney is suing the governor they’re barking up the wrong tree.🤣if they won it wouldn’t get them anywhere. They must be suing the state of Florida? They’re gonna lose either way.

  15. Disney could ruin him. Waaaay more money.

  16. NBC is one of the worse

  17. DePanties is not the law. He is just mad that Disney has expressed their views on a law that in between the lines is discriminating. I don't think that "all" Florida voters are seeking anything against Disney. Ron DeMoron must lose his upcoming elections. Each day that he is implementing tactics that Hitler once used to destabilize a country's democracy and take control by force. Also, he need to say Thai food correctly 😂😂 Is not Thigh, is pronounced Thai (silent "h") DeMoron!!!

  18. Sounds like Disney wants that pope privilege. They want a little Florida Vatican they can call their own…

  19. Disney sucks… they've sucked for a long time

  20. Gov. should impose a Florida State Import Tax on all Chinese goods next, when he returns from his international business affairs. That should come off as sorta big league player candidate stuff. A nice roll after his D.C. trip.

  21. So DeSantis goes after Disney just because of what they said… don't people have the right for free speech in America ? This is why the world is becoming such a dangerous place.. we have children as our leaders

  22. A very tasteless attempt to gain presidential appeal on all fronts by ron.

  23. DUMBEST GOVENOR IN AMERICAN HISTORY I KNOW I LIVE IN THIS DUMP STATE. FLORIDA A SUNSHINE GARBAGE STATE

  24. I love it …get him Disney! 😂
