Democrat Governor Jared Polis (D-CO) tried to attack the popular conservative Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) on Tuesday by claiming that his recent moves against Disney for its woke turn constituted a ‘socialist attack.’
As Mediaite reports:
Colorado Governor Jared Polis (D-CO) lit into Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) on Tuesday over what Polis called Florida’s “authoritarian socialist attacks” on the free market.
DeSantis has been leading a culture war against some of America’s most iconic corporations, like Disney and Twitter, over what he sees as their undue influence over society – an influence DeSantis would like to curtail using the powers of his office.
On Tuesday, the Florida Republican gave a speech in which he announced that his state, which is invested in Twitter via a pension fund, would look into holding “accountable” the board of directors of Twitter for rebuffing billionaire Elon Musk’s takeover bid.
“We’re gonna be looking at ways the state of Florida potentially can be holding these Twitter board of directors accountable for breaching their fiduciary duty,” charged DeSantis in a clip that was shared on social media.
Florida’s authoritarian socialist attacks on the private sector are driving businesses away. In CO, we don’t meddle in affairs of companies like @Disney or @Twitter. Hey @Disney we’re ready for Mountain Disneyland and @twitter we’re ready for Twitter HQ2, whoever your owners are https://t.co/r7Vcvu20eb

On Tuesday DeSantis moved to finally end Disney’s special status for its theme parks in the state in response to the company’s continued left-ward drift.
