Iger defended his Disney’s decision to “exercise” its “right to freedom of speech” when it spoke out against DeSantis’ controversial law.
just a day before state lawmakers gave DeSantis the authority to take over the body.
Iger fielded questions from shareholders over how the battle could impact Florida taxpayers and whether the company should stay on the sidelines over such hot-button issues. Iger added that any attempts made by DeSantis to “thwart” these efforts is “not just anti-business, but anti-Florida.” “As long as I’m in the job, we’ll be guided by a sense of decency and instinct and trust our instinct that when we weigh in, the issue is truly relevant to us and the people we work with,” he said.
