In Court, Disney Enters DeSantis Own Memoir As Evidence

Mickey Dances On DeSantis's Political Grave as Disney is using Pudding Fingers's OWN CAMPAIGN MEMOIR against him in court. Really.

Ol' Pudding Fingers apparently thought only MAGA types would read his book. Silly DeSantis! Disney lawyers are submitting your campaign memoir in COURT!!! Greg Sargent in WaPo writes:

When the Walt Disney Co. went looking for evidence to feature in its new lawsuit against Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, its lawyers found much of what they needed in DeSantis’s own recently published memoir.

Buried in Disney’s complaint against DeSantis is something surprising. Numerous quotes taken from “The Courage to be Free” appear to support the company’s central allegation: that the Republican governor improperly wielded state power to punish Disney’s speech criticizing his policies, violating the First Amendment.

Memoirs by presidential aspirants often lay out a blueprint for their coming candidacies. DeSantis’s does, too. It boasts extensively about his war on Disney to advertise how he would marshal the powers of the presidency against so-called woke elites.

Yep, it turns out we still have a Constitution that protects speech, even by a corporate mouse. And DeSantis, who, let's face it, is just not very bright, apparently thought no one but MAGAs would buy, let alone read, his memoir. Those kinds of books are just for an excuse to be interviewed on right-wing TV and tour primary states without the inconvenience of having to announce that you're an official candidate for president.

It couldn't happen to a more ineffectual fascist wannabe, eh, Mickey?
