Tallahassee, FL: Today Disney filed a lawsuit against Governor Ron DeSantis over control of its Florida Resort. The company claimed “a targeted campaign of government retaliation” which it said stemmed from its criticism of a contentious state education law.
Below is Representative Eskamani’s statement in response:
“It really does take a terrible Governor for someone like me to express support for a corporation but it’s been such a circus to watch DeSantis continue to target and demonize the Walt Disney World Company because they expressed an opinion he did not like and stopped giving him campaign contributions. This has clearly been a pattern of punitive and petty behavior by Governor DeSantis that has exposed his inability to lead alongside his extreme policy positions. I wish Disney luck in their litigation and ask that the Governor let it go.”
