Bob Iger says Disney as a Company has Freedom of Speech

Today during the annual meeting of shareholders of The Walt Disney Company Bob Iger took questions from shareholders. One of the questions had to do with the Reedy Creek Improvement District and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.

Bob Iger Speaks Out About Gun Control

Iger finally addressed Disney’s Reedy Creek Improvement District and the ongoing rift with the State of Florida. He stated that Disney, as a company has freedom of speech, and it’s petty and anti-business to retaliate against a company’s constitutional right.

Iger said, “We love the state of Florida,” and said he respected and appreciated what the state has done for Disney in the past.


He referenced former-CEO Bob Chapek denouncing the Parental Rights in Education bill last year and said that though the position was not handled well, however, the company still has a right to free speech.

He directly accused Governor DeSantis of retaliating against Disney and punishing them for exercising a constitutional right.
