Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has really done it now. The Walt Disney Company has had enough of the Republican’s drive to do real business damage against the global megacorporation for the sake of his fading presidential ambitions, and they’re taking DeSantis to court over it. And Disney is infamous for its deep-pocketed legal battles.
In a newly filed lawsuit, Walt Disney Parks and Resorts is suing Desantis and an array of Florida officials from the Florida Department of Economic Security, and Central Florida Tourism Oversight District for “a targeted campaign of government retaliation—orchestrated at every step by Governor DeSantis as punishment for Disney’s protected speech.”
