Governor Jared Polis, a Democrat, is urging Disney to move to Colorado after the Florida legislature stripped the company of its special tax privileges. Polis added that Mickey Mouse would be granted “asylum” in Colorado.
Florida moved swiftly to strip Disney of its special tax privileges after the company attempted to lecture the state over its recently enacted parental rights bill. Disney joined leftist activists, politicians and organizations in falsely labeling the bill — which bars the teaching of sex education and gender ideology in grades K-3 — as the “don’t say gay” bill.
It ultimately took less than a week for Disney to lose privileges it had enjoyed in Florida since 1967, as the measures quickly passed both chambers of the state’s legislature.
