Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick is 'done with Disney.' Can the Magic Kingdom endure this blow?

My family and I love Disney and Walt Disney World. The entire family were at WDW in December and my son is taking his sisters and brother in law to WDW in May.

I am amused that Dan Patrick was at WDW last month. The good news is that my kids will not run into him on their next trip

Lieutenant Gov. Dan Patrick wants Texans to know about some recent changes to his social life.

“I AM DONE WITH DISNEY!” he declared Monday, in the subject line of an email.....

Now Patrick, the bombastic former radio talk show host, wants in on the action. The 72-year-old Republican has until recently been a habitue of the Magic Kingdom, apparently. He grew up on Disney productions, he explains in the email, and just returned from a Disney theme park a month ago — a trip he now rues.

“If I had known then how they would respond to the Florida law and if I had seen those videos, they would not have gotten one penny from me,” he says in the email, with a link to the clips Rufo distributed.

They have nothing against Disney at all, they do it to get votes and raise money.

Because I feel like he usually has a visible layer of slime on him, just like Ted Cruz.

No ESPN, FX, or the National Geographic network either. Go on Dan, we know that you are an extremist so when you make your "sacrifice" against Disney think about everything you need to boycott to support your convictions and be the wallflower at any party that you may attend.
