After coming back from their spring break on Monday, ABC’s The ViewThey went to the mat in support of their parent company Disney. Together the cackling coven accused Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) of behaving like a communist dictator and bigot who’s “anti-black”; all because he decided to sign a law to strip Disney of its “special status” over its position to oppose the Parental Rights in Education law and support leftist groomers in the classroom.
“DeSantis is punishing our parent company, Disney, for speaking out against his so-called Don’t Say Gay law,”She announced it using the completely fabricated name that the media and left use to describe her. “This goes against the GOP’s brand of being business-friendly,”She also failed to understand that the right was against crony capitalism.
“Now, can he win this culture war? Because he’s taking on the mouse, and the mouse is bigger than Ron DeSantis,” She seemed to be threatening. Ana Navarro (a Florida resident) picked up the conversation and made a note. “there’s a difference between a mouse and a rat.”
Navarro went on to suggest DeSantis only did this because he’s “running for president in 2024” and “he’s trying to position himself with the base.” And despite the fact she herself had abandoned conservative principles because of her hatred for former President Trump, she accused DeSantis of the same thing:
We had a whole legislative session that was focused solely on manufactured culture warfare in Florida. So, I’m not sure how anyone can be pro-business and pro-freedom speech or small government if they want to close down a major corporation in Florida that is free to speak their minds in defense of employees.
“And that is wrong. It’s anti-American. This is what Venezuela does. It’s what happens in Nicaragua. It does not happen in the United States,” she raged.
Keying in on what Navarro said about DeSantis presumably running for president in 2024, unhinged co-host Sunny Hostin bitterly declared that “bigotry is on the ballot when it comes to Ron DeSantis.” She went on to suggest his policy position wasn’t really “anti-Disney” but rather “anti-black,” “anti-gay” and “anti-LGBTQ+” because “the Republican base responds to it.”
“It’s anti-woke,” she continued as she lied about what it meant to be woke:
When you search it in the dictionary it means awareness of social justice. It refers to an awareness of those who are marginalized. It is an awareness. Ron DeSantis’ Republican base doesn’t want anyone to know about the social injustices that are happening in this nation.
“They don’t want those people to be protected, and it’s shameful. They don’t want their children to learn about social injustice. It’s so shocking. And that’s what this is about,” she sneered.
Because of the lucrative sponsorships by Ensure and Progressive, these defamatory remarks about DeSantis for Disney have been possible. They are linked to their contact information.

Eastern, 11:16.09JOY BEHAR. So Florida Governor Ron DeSantis punishes our parent company Disney because it criticized his Don’t Say Gay Law. Florida taxpayers may be out $2 billion if Disney loses its special status. This does not align with the GOP’s claim of being business-friendly.
Can he win the culture war? He’s taking on Ron DeSantis, the mouse.
[Laughter]
Let us know what you think.
ANA NAVARRO : There is a big difference between a mouse & a rat, but that can be discussed later. Look, I think – I’m really bothered like this. As you know, I reside in Miami. I’m a Floridian. I really – when Ron DeSantis first got elected, had really high hopes for him and I thought he was being inclusive, but he’s now running for re-election, and he’s running for president in 2024 should Trump not run, and he’s trying to position himself with the base.
We had a whole legislative session that was focused solely on manufactured culture warfare in Florida. So, I’m not sure how anyone can be pro-business and pro-freedom speech or small government if they want to close down a major corporation in Florida that is free to speak their minds in defense of employees.
[Applause]
It’s not as if Disney launched an aggressive war on this bill. The CEO did make a few remarks. They were not running advertisements. This was minimal, and he, you know, this war against Disney – And it’s against Disney. This bill was written in such a manner that it removes the special tax status from Disney and four other taxing districts.
Florida has 1,844 special taxing jurisdictions. So it was decided to punish and take revenge on Disney for daring cross the line of a legislative cause. It is wrong. It’s anti-American. This is what Venezuela does. It’s what happens in Nicaragua. In the United States, it does not occur.
SUNNY HOSTIN – I understand why this is happening. Because Ron DeSantis is a candidate for bigotry. Right? It’s about that. It isn’t anti-Disney. It’s anti-black. It’s anti-gay. It’s anti-LGBTQ+ community. The Republican base reacts. It’s anti-woke.
When you search it in the dictionary it means awareness of social justice. It refers to an awareness of those who are marginalized. It is an awareness.
Ron DeSantis’ Republican base doesn’t want anyone to know about the social injustices that are happening in this nation.
[Applause]
This is shameful. They don’t want their children to learn about social injustice, which is quite shameful. That’s exactly what they are trying to do.
