The Disney-DeSantis Showdown: Lawsuit Now Focuses on First Amendment Claim

Benzinga

Disney has amended its federal lawsuit against Florida Governor Ron DeSantis to focus solely on its First Amendment claim that the governor politically retaliated against the company. The amendment shrinks Disney's federal civil complaint from 84 pages down to 48 pages, focusing only on the political retaliation and First Amendment claim. Disney's battle with DeSantis began when it publicly denounced Florida's controversial "Don't Say Gay" bill last year. DeSantis has since rebelled against Disney and accused it of being "woke."
