Florida Governor Ron DeSantis Responds to Disney’s Lawsuit from the Middle East

Yesterday Walt Disney Parks And Resorts filed a lawsuit against Florida Governor Ron DeSantis stating that the Governor has waged a “relentless campaign to weaponize government power” against the company.

In response to Disney’s filing Florida Governor DeSantis Communications Director Taryn Fenske released a statement on the lawsuit.

“We are unaware of any legal right that a company has to operate its own government or maintain special privileges not held by other businesses in the state,” Fenske states. “The lawsuit is yet another unfortunate example of their hope to undermine the will of the Florida voters and operate outside the bounds of the law.”

While touring Middle East Countries Florida Governor Ron DeSantis talked briefly about the rift between Disney and the State of Florida.

“They’re upset because they’re having to live by the same rules as everybody else. They don’t want to pay the same taxes as everybody else and they want to be able to control things without proper oversight,” DeSantis said during a visit to Israel. “The days of putting one company on a pedestal with no accountability are over in the state of Florida.”

We expect Ron DeSantis to issue a full statement when he returns from his trip to the Middle East.
