By The FirstFormer film producer and current Colorado Senate candidate Deborah Flora says the House of Mouse is making the wrong call: “wokeness will be their downfall.”
According to Fox News, “Deborah Flora, a Republican seeking to challenge Democrat Sen. Michael Bennett in the 2022 midterm election, posited that The Walt Disney Company may not survive the injection of ‘wokeness’ flowing through the company.”
“Flora criticized Disney for doing business in China amid the state-sponsored genocide of Uyhgur Muslims — calling China “one of the largest human rights abusers on the entire planet” — while simultaneously “vilifying parents’ rights.'”
“It is absolutely hypocritical,” Flora said. “And it’s really disturbing because when Walt Disney is now synonymous with wokeness, we know that this ideological agenda that is out of touch with the vast majority of American people has hit a point where we all need to stand up and take notice.”
“It’s a sad day for America, but honestly, I believe it’s going to be the downfall of The Walt Disney Company because they have just ignored the very demographic that they are supposed to be appealing to,” Flora warned.
Meanwhile, Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) is considering revoking Disney’s self-governing status.
Disney has alienated a lot of people now,” DeSantis told reporters in West Palm Beach on Thursday.
“And so the political influence they’re used to wielding, I think has dissipated. And so the question is, why would you want to have special privileges in the law at all?”
