WATCH: John Oliver Explains How ‘Dipsh*t’ Ron DeSantis Blew His Attack on Disney
Ron DeSantis would like to be the next President of the United States. And it seems like he’s decided that the best way to do so is to be even more extreme than Donald Trump.
One way he’s doing so is by attacking gay people. And when Disney, a crucially important company in DeSantis’ home state of Florida, criticized his actions, the Governor retaliated against them by revoking a special tax break. Experts, however, say that the move will only cost Florida taxpayers.
During his Sunday show, HBO host John Oliver tore into the Florida Governor. He began, “There are plenty of signs that DeSantis didn’t really think this through, with experts pointing out that the law might actually violate the contract clause of the Florida constitution. And also, the Florida state law requires the county assumes the district’s debt when it’s dissolved, which could mean that Orange and Osceola counties, where the district is, inherit upward of a billion dollars in bond debt.”
Oliver continued, “Do I think it’s bad if Disney pays more taxes? No, I don’t. That would be a good thing. I don’t love that it might happen, not through meaningful tax reform, but on the whim of one right wing dipsh*t who’s scared of gay people and doesn’t understand the first amendment. But hey, ends, means, what are you gonna do?”
