During Wednesday’s CNN GOP Primary debate, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis stood by his decision to stand against Disney’s woke involvement with Florida politics.
“It's wrong to tell a kindergartner, like Disney wanted to do, that you can change your gender, or tell a third grader that you're born in the wrong body. So I stood up against it, yeah, the media didn't like it, the left didn't like it, and Disney didn't like it,” DeSantis said after asked about his legal battles with the giant corporation that criticized his education bill in the sunshine state.
“And they're the 800 pound gorilla in the state of Florida. Most people, most corporate Republicans would have caved. I stood and I fought for the kids. We took on Disney and we defeated that,” He added.
DeSantis then alleged Nikki Haley invited Disney officials to South Carolina, “even though they were involved in ‘trans-ing’ kids, that is not what we need to do.”
