A humiliated Ron DeSantis demands the state investigate Disney after it outmaneuvered him (msn.com)

Story by LGBTQNation • 3h ago


Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) has demanded an investigation into Disney after the company pulled a fast one on him in the midst of a seemingly unending feud fueled by a battle over LGBTQ+ rights.

DeSantis’s demand comes after Disney made a stealthy move to prevent him from stripping the company of its long-held power over its own tax district.

”

The company’s feud with anti-LGBTQ+ DeSantis continues, and it seems the House of Mouse isn’t going down without a fight.

In a letter to Florida’s Chief Inspector General Melinda Miguel, DeSantis reportedly accused Disney of attempting “to usurp the authority of the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District board” and requested “a thorough review and investigation.”

“These collusive and self-dealing arrangements aim to nullify the recently passed legislation, undercut Florida’s legislative process, and defy the will of Floridians,” he wrote.

Disney and DeSantis have been feuding since the entertainment company spoke out against the governor’s anti-LGBTQ+ Don’t Say Gay law, which bans discussions of sexual orientation and gender identity in lower grades and restricts them in higher grades, using language that LGBTQ+ activists say effectively ban mentioning LGBTQ+ people in the classroom.

After that, DeSantis not only continuously criticized the company in public, but he also oversaw the Florida legislature’s revocation of Disney’s decades-old special zoning agreement to punish them.
