'My stomach is hurting from laughing': Hear panelist's reaction to DeSantis' threat to Disney
DeSantis and Disney Continue Their Public Dispute. Here's What Actually Happened.
What Happened
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis made another statement regarding Disney during what appears to be a political discussion or panel. A CNN panelist responded with laughter to DeSantis' comments about the entertainment company. This continues an ongoing public disagreement between DeSantis and Disney that has been playing out in media and political circles.
Historical Context
Political feuds between governors and major corporations are not new. In the 1990s, various governors clashed with tobacco companies. In the 2000s, state officials frequently sparred with tech companies over taxation. Disney has weathered political storms before - they faced boycotts in the 1990s over LGBTQ+ policies and survived just fine. Most corporate-political disputes fade from headlines within months and rarely impact day-to-day operations significantly. Disney's stock price and park attendance have historically been more affected by economic cycles than political controversies.
What's In Your Control
• Whether you choose to engage with this political theater or focus on more meaningful issues
• Your decision to visit Disney properties based on your own values and budget, not political drama
• How you consume news - you can choose outlets that focus on policy substance rather than personality conflicts
• Your vote for representatives whose actual policies (not Twitter feuds) align with your values
Does This Require Action?
Unless you live in Florida, work for Disney, or are deeply invested in corporate governance - this requires neither action nor opinion. Permission granted: You can ignore political theater entirely and focus on things that actually affect your daily life. This is entertainment news disguised as political news.
