When Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis stripped Disney of its special districting privileges, he wasn’t merely holding the powerful corporation accountable for its far-left partisan antics.
He was also sending a message.
According to a Sunday report from the Wall Street Journal, American CEOs heard that message loud and clear.
In recent years, Disney has fully inserted itself into politics to the point of blacklisting conservatives and condemning various bills that don’t support a left-wing, pro-abortion, LGBTQ-affirming agenda.
When Disney promoted left-wing propaganda, claiming the recently passed “Parental Rights in Education Bill” was actually a bigoted, anti-LGBT “Don’t Say Gay bill,” DeSantis had finally had enough.
On April 20, DeSantis got the state senate to pass legislation removing the special self-governing privileges afforded to Orlando’s Walt Disney World.
Many corporations, including Nike, AMC, Coca-Cola and Gillette, among many others, have followed in Disney’s footsteps by siding with Democrats in support of various “social justice” issues.
Thanks to DeSantis, however, many CEOs are second-guessing this strategy out of fear of becoming “the next Disney.”
“Disney’s recent experience in Florida has captured the attention of C-suite executives at companies big and small, given the impact on its operations, many say,” the Journal reported.
