Disney CEO Bob Iger finally goes public with his thoughts on Rhonda Santis, and fingered the Republican as “anti-Florida” and “anti-business” in a shareholder meeting on Monday. Via The Daily Beast:

The comments came just as DeSantis announced a probe into Disney after its lawyers embarrassed him last week—quietly stripping his hand-picked advisory board of most of its powers in overseeing Disney's self-governing Reedy Creek Improvement District.

[...] “Any action that supports those efforts simply to retaliate for a position the company took sounds not just anti-business, but it sounds anti-Florida,” Iger said Monday, referencing DeSantis’ reaction to Disney's opposition of the bill. “I’ll just leave it at that.”

Iger also reiterated that Disney has the right to differ ideologically from the governor and operate without consequence. He emphasized Disney is the state's largest private employer and taxpayer, and that it plans to spend more than $17 billion over the next decade that'd generate thousands of jobs for Floridians.

“A company has a right to freedom of speech just like individuals do,” Iger said.
