Ron DeSantis Attacks ‘Woke Disney’ After They Pause Donations

Since being elected as governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis has mostly pushed culture war issues. And the Republican has only become more extreme over time.

DeSantis’ latest disgraceful push bans teachers from discussing homosexuality in schools. Once it was revealed that Disney had given donations to many of the Republicans involved in the bill, the company faced severe backlash. In response, Disney decided to pause all political donations. Now DeSantis is blasting the company for being “woke.”

The Florida governor put out a statement that read: 

“Woke Disney is now echoing Democratic propaganda and falling for the corporate media’s phony hysteria over a Florida bill that sensibly prohibits K-3rd graders from school being indoctrinated with transgenderism and R-rated lessons about sexuality.”

And there it is … “Woke Disney” pic.twitter.com/wglDyZQ8Pn
