Disney sues Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, alleges political effort to hurt its business
The lawsuit escalates the feud between DeSantis, expected to be a top Republican contender for president in 2024, and Disney.
Walt Disney Co. sued Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Wednesday, alleging the Republican governor has waged a “relentless campaign to weaponize government power” against the company amid a protracted fight over a controversial classroom bill.
The federal lawsuit alleges that DeSantis “orchestrated at every step” a campaign to punish Disney that now threatens the company’s business.
“The government action was patently retaliatory, patently anti-business, and patently unconstitutional,” Disney alleged in the civil complaint in U.S. District Court in northern Florida.
Suit was apparently filed 5 minutes after DeSantis dissolved the agreement around Reedy Creek. They were prepared.
