Ron DeSantis isn’t holding back about The Walt Disney Co. narrowing the scope of its lawsuit against his administration.
The Florida Governor and 2024 presidential candidate said the company would lose even its revised federal claim, calling the plaintiff position “bogus.”
“They’re going to lose and they’re obviously going to lose that claim. It’s a bogus claim. These were acts of the Florida Legislature. They had every right to make sure that Disney is living under the same laws as every other company paying taxes following the law,” DeSantis said on the Fox News Channel.
As they said they would days ago, Disney has narrowed its federal complaint to a First Amendment issue, contending that the Governor retaliated against them politically, noting that other claims are being handled in a parallel piece of state-level litigation.
