Disney sues Florida governor Ron DeSantis for running targeted campaigns

The suit, filed in a Florida court, claims DeSantis’ action "jeopardizes its economic future in the region and violates its constitutional rights.”
The case follows a year-long dispute between DeSantis and Disney over an education bill restricting instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity in classrooms.
The complaint said: "There is no room for disagreement about what happened here: Disney expressed its opinion on state legislation and was then punished by the state for doing so.”
A spokesperson for DeSantis said he is "unaware of any legal right that a company has to operate its own government or maintain special privileges not held by other businesses in the state.
"This lawsuit is yet another unfortunate example of their hope to undermine the will of the Florida voters and operate outside the bounds of the law.”
