    Desantis needs to lay down! Act your age – your ego is out of control. No longer getting our votes

    1. Natalie Purington

      Agree wholeheartedly

      1. Peter

        He keeps saying he’s doing what the voters want. Cept his own hand and gerrymandering he would not be the governor. Fear the governor is not away to govern. If Ron can’t be gay then nobody can. He has changed and exploited laws to where laws mean nothing. Disney does a lot of good for the community it serves including programs for the homeless. My house insurance is 6500 My mortgage is $852. And it’s expected to double under Desantis’ watch. He is not done nothing for we the people.

        1. elizabeth judd

          My home owners insurance increased $700 dollars per quarter. Luckily I can afford to pay for it however what about all the seniors on fix incomes will not be able to pay. Many will have to drop coverage. They will spend many sleepless nights praying this hurricane season that a hurricane doesn’t hit Florida Ron you’re making life miserable for seniors in Florida.

        2. Sid Kurdis

          To think that this Harvard & Yale graduate contradicts a well educated man – instead, he evokes a man of such low moral fiber, unprincipled with deep hatred & vindictiveness, with a total lack of discipline from any form of acceptable governance. For every conscientious individual living in this state under his reign, life has become humiliating & infuriating.

    2. RTB

      Totally agree

      1. Sharron Chattin

        this is not JUST about desantis acting like a petulant child Now he’s costing Floridians millions of dollars and says it’s for us He’s now Floridas biggest criminal

    3. Steve

      When we stop electing politicians whose behavior is that of a 13 year old playground bully, we might have someone we respect. Florida Ron and Florida DonT will never receive my vote to put their childish fingers on the nuclear trigger.

    4. Jennifer

      Desantis is out of control! Not getting my vote!

      1. Not Marc

        Thank you Jennifer but, He does not need your vote.

      2. Bill

        Desantis,,, nothing more than a miniature trump,, and nothing less than embarrassing.

    5. Peter

      Agree he’s out of control and doesn’t represent my interests only his own bully nature

    6. Bob

      Well said, cant do it any better. Except, I never voted for this punk to begin with.

  2. Curt

    DeSantis is acting like a pathetic little child that’s been kicked out of the sandbox for licking his nose. He’s hurting the state of Florida to spare his ego

    1. Frenchy

      No he is right just entertain family oriented and why disney had special right universal don t have Disney is going woke my kids dont need to see cartoon that two male are kissing

      1. RDW

        I got news for you: statistically, your kids are ALREADY “woke'” or whatever demon-term you chose to name it. It’s the older folk, set in their ways who still live in a world that is passing them by. Go not gently into that good night. Rage ,rage against the morning light.

        1. ronS

          It is good to dream and speak in platitudes. Even so, there is no way Walt would let this happen to his company. He loved kids.. but not like that.

      2. Atomic Kommie Comics

        🇨🇳 to 🇺🇸 translator glitching, girl?

        1. Kim

          I read some of these comments and think – WOW what a bunch of hypocrites! America was based on Religious FREEDOM! Freedom is freedom no matter what you believe in and EVERYONE should have that right to their beliefs!! And guess what, everyone should WAKE the f#@% up!! Believe what you want and let others belive in what they want whether it’s it’s about sexual orientation to abortion. None of you can judge anyone or forgive anyone for their sins – only God can do that! MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS!!

          1. perfect!!thats the answer to a perfect world! live n let live!

      3. Dalaran

        Being family oriented has nothing to do with two men kissing. You’re confusing family with archaic biblical morality, which has no place in actual law.

        1. ronS

          This is true. Two men kissing is just lust – it cannot make a baby or an actual family. I am glad archaic biblical morality is not law. It would be absolutely horrible to stone sodomites to death. They can’t help themselves.

      4. C

        Exactly! This page is only looking at the woke left lamestream media. DeSantis is the best thing to happen to Florida. If you’re going to quote stats check out how much he won in his reelection. Try stepping back and look at ALL of the information,

        1. Peter

          DeSantis is nothing but a childlike bully and doesn’t represent me our my values. You’ll be voted out!

        2. He did not win by a landslide. 48% voted of the total voting people of this state. He got 38% therefore 62% did not vote for this ja. He did not win just in his mind which is not that great to begin with.

          1. Jeffrey smith

            Exactly

      5. sharri

        oh no dat was two female all good no?

        1. ronS

          No. That is gross too.

    2. RTB

      Totally agree

  3. Larry

    My way or the highway! Authoritarianism and anti Democracy displayed by an overly ambitious ego maniac whose true colors he’s displaying while our State and it’s citizens pay the price.
    He is NOT working for the people, just himself trying to over emulate his would be rival.

    1. Ann Katz

      Agree 100%

    2. Natalie Purington

      Love this!

    3. Ann

      So true! DeSantis is killing the goose that lays the golden eggs for his ego and votes. It’s not a popular stance outside of Florida, for sure!

    4. elizabeth judd

      Agree 100 percent

    5. Peter

      Agree 100%

  4. Bob

    Disney caters to all people so why would they say bad things about the LBGTQ community.

  5. He need to leave the mouse house alone

  6. Barb

    DeSantis is carrying things way to far and Disney will continue in the state of Florida long after DeSantis. If he thinks he is doing whats best for the people he should look at his approval ratings in Florida.

    1. Peter

      Right you are. DeSantis has shot himself

  7. Jason

    DeAantis needs to get a grip. He is so out of touch with the needs of Floridians. He needs to do real work for the people. So I sat to him, suck it up buttercup, lick your wounds and walk away.

  8. Ken

    Disney needs to defend the GOP and use its influence with other deep pocket political entries to do the same

  9. Michael

    DeSantis is a man child, a petulant little boy who had his toy taken by a bigger kid.
    I would rather have Mickey Mouse as President than DeSantis

    1. Peter

      Right you are

  10. Shelby

    De Santos is acting like a child! His ego is bruised. How can anyone think of him as a potential leader! Grow up!

  11. Karen

    DeSantis has gone too far with his issues with Disney and LBGTQ people. He needs to express his feelings about each, and drop all else.

  12. Michael Holland

    At the end of the day, the fighting is getting neither party nowhere fast. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis will be out of office long before Disney crumbles, and Disney will continue to create material that serves their current consumer culture. The governor will continue to rant until he’s blue in the face, and the house of mouse will remain.

    1. Dodger

      Copy and paste much? LOL

    2. elizabeth judd

      Lol you go Mouse we love The Mouse

  13. Randy

    Well Disney Maine have gone a little too far, I think the governor is way out of bound. Using his position and political power to his own end. He got his feelings hurt, now he’s wasting money and time trying to prove a point. If he does this as governor could you imagine what he would try to do if he ever was president. Heaven help us

    1. Earle

      Mealy mouthed Ron DeSantis is a gasbag who should never hold office.

    2. Phil

      YEAH! As president he would have access to the nuclear football. Can yo u imagine whatmight happen if another foreign leader pi..ed him off?

    3. Peter

      Absolutely right. He doesn’t deserve to even be governor. What a child and bully he is

  14. TW

    A man was driving on I-4 when traffic came to a stop. No movement at all for close to 30 minutes when he saw State Police officers going from car to car. When one of them came to his car, he asked, “What’s going on?”.
    The officer replied, “There’s a group of people surrounding a car with Biden and DeSantis inside. They’re demanding $250,000 or they’ll douse the car with gasoline and set it on fire. We’re asking for donations.”
    The man asks, “What’s the average donation so far?”.
    The officer replies, “About a gallon.”.

    1. sharri

      i’m retelling this but putting Don the con in the car too

  15. Teresa Ayers

    DeSantis is a little bully and a vindictive little p…. He shouldn’t be the governor of this wonderful state that I call home 50% of the year. It would be horrible if he had presidential power.

  16. George Reynolds III

    DeSantis is fighting a losing battle…. Not only will this ruin his reputation for the Presidency, he is also sabotaging his chances of re-election for Governor of Florida!!!!!

  17. DeSantis, needs to focus on the issues in Florida!
    Hurricanes, Tornadoes, flooding along with crime and gun violence.
    His priorities are not in the right place. We all have our own opinions and values. He as a leader in Florida, has to respect those values that are not in line with his.
    Disney REALLY needs to get back to basics and produce programs that have family values, no politics, no alternate life style choices. There are so many other companies that can produce those programming, and Disney will be better off for that.
    If you look at sales and figures R & X movies never were Blockbusters in the theater. PG ratings are where Disney will make profits, and that is where they HAVE made their money.
    Simple…. stick to it. Make movies for the ethnic groups (still PG) , don’t mess with the classics.
    But DeSantis is a terrible Leader and hopefully, will not run for any other political office, or even governor again.

    1. Steven

      How quick it is forgotten that when Walt came to Orlando all there was was cows and Fields and that was it, look at it now bringing in billions every year to the state not only in taxes but other businesses as well, we should be grateful what is there.

  18. ROGER D STEVENS

    desantis will be working at Burger King before Disney gives into him.

  19. Trixie

    DeSantis is doing what he thinks is best for Florida and I’m behind him 100%! Disney has had their way for far too long and it’s time they were told to step up, pay their debts and stop angering the 99% to cater to the 1%.

    Go woke, go broke!

    1. Thelma Armenteros

      Do you know where Ronie’s favorite term “woke” came from? Just in case you didn’t know; Disney being in control of Reedy Creek saved counties thousands in tax dollars that would be on homeowners. Not sure what “debt” you’re referring to. Please check into the special privileges The Villages enjoy. It’s sad to me that you are “100%” behind a man who puts his ego over his duties to his state, bans books that educate kids, make certain groups of people feel unwelcome and even threatened. We agree on 100% – I am against any person who has these characteristics.

    2. Phil

      If you’re behind him 100%, be careful where you step. Ronnie baby is full of the stuff people put around rose bushes.

    3. SFH

      Do any of you actually know what WOKE stands for or where the term originated? Have any of you actually read what Disney said in that “oh so controversial statement”? He is spending millions of taxpayer dollars on legal fees for this fight. Who will benefit from that money, not us, not our children, and not our businesses. I guess I have more faith in my influence on my children and grandchildren than it appears many of you do. You seem to need a legal route to force your beliefs on others that don’t agree with you.

  20. Ed in NY

    Wake up Ronnie Boy, you will Never win this fight. This is the final nail in your coffin. RIP

  21. Teddy Gingerich

    Chapek handles it poorly from the start, He should have spoken up promptly with a statement supporting all the people who work for Disney and their families. Saying that Disney feels that all people should be treated with respect, and so on. He should not have tossed in the political bit; that was like throwing gas on a fire.
    We all know that DeSantis is becoming more unhinged in his petty vindictive behavior, and it’s not going over well with a lot of voters, as he’s using their tax dollars to attack a very large employer (and the largest corporate taxpayer). It’s not likely to stop until he’s out of office, by which time he will have done his level best to harm WDW as much as possible.
    We also know that there’s no way for Disney to pick up a 25,000 acre theme park with 50 years of infrastructure and move to another state – even though some of us wish there were a Merlin who could make that happen. I do think they should seriously consider dialing back some of the big plans to invest more in WDW. It won’t make a bit of difference to DeSantis, but perhaps they could ramp up the investment in DL. They’re holding neighborhood meetings about a third park west of the hotels (the plans look pretty cool). Put more into Walt’s original park, in a state that values their presence.

  22. Lisa

    My family has generations of family behind my me, my kids, and grandkids. What he is doing is despicable. When I was a child my father, my mom and us 4 kids were invited to Disney World. He needs to back off from Disney, and the ideology that he thinks he can change so much of my home being Florida

  23. Debbie

    Bottom line, Chapek should have never dragged Disney into this discussion. I hope Disney chooses to remain neutral on political viewpoints in the future. This has ended up hurting everybody.

  24. sharri

    and today hehe all the immigrants left florida hehe Let’s see who’s going to do that work in Floridas heat now Ron better put out the flames he caused or floridas tourism agriculture AND construction will finish grinding to a halt Guess Harvard and Yale taught our war criminal nothing

  25. Dan

    Definitely not getting our votes nor anyone I know

  26. Ray

    He is a Republican, what do you expect? Florida is so red do to gerrymandering they can do whatever they want. Typically they pick on smaller groups, like State Employees, teachers or guys. I’m glad he chose to tangle with Disney …

    1. ronS

      I glad he did too. It is really fun watching him win again and again. I do have one question: What have republicans got against teachers or guys? Never heard that one before. Do you mean teachers and guys who show porn to kids? I am pretty sure that is illegal or it should be. Same as handing a kid a bottle of whisky or a spliff. Plenty of time for that stuff when you are older.

  27. Bob

    Florida voters are behind Ron DeSantis. We are totally against sexual deviants grooming our children. Those degenerates will be behind bars long before Ron DeSantis retires

  28. Maria City Rogers

    Ronald the deSTALIN – He has done nothing good for the people of Florida – He’s a danger to democracy and freedoms. Florida has become Soviet Union West. DeSantis is a Communist wearing republican clothing. RON BE GONE!

  29. Jene

    I do not support Florida’s current governor. He hasn’t effectively dealt with house or car insurance in this state. My car insurance went up $1200. This is extortion, and he only cares about things he calls Woke, which is his code word for racism. Look at how the white supremasists support him and he doesn’t say anything about it. Horrible person.

  30. Mark Graff

    Most people are Intelligent and mature enough NOT to be offended by something that is different from them and instead of being intolerant and IMMATURE, and name calling, understand that people have different opinions. People can still object, but to be immature, petty and a big bully, like Ron is just being a…..sorehead.

  31. mary s

    DeSantis is totally out of control and needs to give it up. He’s totally destroying Florida taking away our freedom to speak out. destroying our history. taking away the rights of women, of minorities, of gays, taking away voter’s rights, tampering with the biggest boost to the Florida economy -Disney!!! If people speak out against him he destroys them, unbelievable. For the last three years the waters in Florida have gotten more and more dangerously polluted, red tide, algal, blooms thousands of fish, sealife, vegetation and manatees dying…he continues to allow Big Sugar and the fertilizer and agricultural polluters destroy our water…he is abusing our tax dollars for his own interests. he won’t listen to anyone but himself…he is so wrong. It’s horrible!!

  32. Sid Kurdis

    Nicknaming him , as many have already done, “DeathSantis” is no mocked parody. Think of this:
    His permitless gun bill that he engineered & which was signed into law, will unquestionably cause increased fatalities in the days & months ahead.
    His 6 week abortion ban will undoubtedly result in many victims with doctors fearing for their livelihood unable to attend to multiple numbers of women desperate for care.
    His denunciation & attacks on the LGBTQ & African-American communities will undoubtedly cause more suicides by vulnerable people having nowhere to turn for protections.

  33. don buisson Sr

    his self importance will kill his chances of being elected to dog catcher

  34. his self imoortance will kill his chances of being elected as dog catcher

  35. Ted

    I think Ron needs to concentrate on the needs of Florida. The high insurance rates for one. Look how long it took for him to respond to the storms in South Florida. Politian’s want corp money, but they want corps to be quiet. Disney was speaking out for their employees. Remember they were quiet until the employees pushed. So that’s I company I would want to work for.
    Also if you look how he is acting, think about it if he were president and Disney was Russia/China/England?
