GOP Guv Knocks DeSantis for ‘Crazy’ Disney Fight Over ‘Absurd’ Don’t Say Gay Bill
Republican Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan took a swing at a fellow GOP governor on Sunday morning when he called out Ron DeSantis for picking a “crazy fight” with Disney over Florida’s “absurd” Parental Rights in Education bill, which critics have labeled the “Don’t Say Gay” law.
While right-wing media has launched a self-serving moral panic against Disney for pushing a “progressive LGBT agenda” and “grooming” kids based on a deceptive smear campaign, DeSantis has essentially declared war against the Mouse House for condemning his bill, which bars classroom discussion about LGBTQ issues.
“Disney has alienated a lot of people now,” the MAGA governor said last week. “And so the political influence they’re used to wielding, I think has dissipated. And so the question is, why would you want to have special privileges in the law at all? And I don’t think that that we should.”
