"Whispers are growing louder among Republicans that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) has miscalculated in his battle with Disney — a struggle that has already gone on for more than a year and has no end in sight.
There are real dangers, they say, of his fight with the corporation becoming a distraction from his likely presidential campaign — and one that could make him seem petty and vindictive rather than strong or decisive.
Despite the fact many polls suggest GOP voters are sympathetic to DeSantis’s war on “wokeness” in general, there are also concerns among conservatives about a powerful elected official targeting a specific company for political reasons." -- Niall Stanage in The Hill today.
The bobblehead Governor of Florida has picked a losing fight over the First Amendment with one of the nation's most prominent cultural icons with deep pockets. Big Business Republicans aren't happy with DeSantis' war of choice over Disney's expressions of inclusiveness. Disney didn't mince words in their suit against the fascistic Governor, calling him out for his "government retaliation" against them. Our money's on the mouse.
