Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) is firing back at the Walt Disney Company’s returning CEO, Bob Iger, who lamented the entertainment giant was somehow unwillingly “dragged” into a political fight in the Sunshine State over the “Parental Rights in Education” bill.
DeSantis made the remarks during an interview Tuesday evening with Fox News’s Tucker Carlson.
Carlson set the stage by playing a clip of Iger, who chose his return as Disney’s chief executive in the wake of his predecessor Bob Chapek’s strife-strewn tenure, to offer contrition: “I was sorry to see us dragged into that battle. And I have no idea exactly what its ramifications are in terms of the business itself.”
