Former Trump Lawyer Breaks With DeSantis Over Disney: He's 'Over the Line'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Jenna Ellis, a former Trump campaign attorney, has spoken out against Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis and lawmakers in the state for their recent action toward the Walt Disney World Company.

On Wednesday, legislators in Florida's Republican-controlled state Senate voted 23-16 to remove Disney from its self-governing status. This vote comes amid the continuing fight between DeSantis and Disney after the company issued a statement vowing to fight against the Parental Rights in Education law, which its opponents have named the 'Don't Say Gay' law.

Ellis, a Newsmax contributor, said in a social media post that "DeSantis is over the line here" in regards to Disney.

In retweeting an article that called the Florida GOP governor's move against Disney a "misguided attack," Ellis also asked what would occur if Democratic California Governor Gavin Newsom took similar action against the popular fast-food chain Chick-fil-A. She proceeded to say that "policy and law must be fair and reasonable" and "not vengeful."

1. I would love to see EVERYONE that voted yes

Be sued personally by Disney. That possible?

2. No one knows what the bill will do. The more people find out, the worse it will be for DeSantis.

(CNN) "The bill declares that any special district created before November 1968 will be dissolved on June 1, 2023. The text is just over a page in length and offers few details. What it means for Disney and Florida taxpayers is not entirely clear."

"Republican sponsors were unable to give detailed answers to questions about financial and legal implications of the legislation during floor discussions Thursday. They suggested that the legislature could work through logistics of the dissolution over the next year."

"The dissolution of the special district would mean that Orange and Osceola counties take on the assets and liabilities of Reedy Creek. That could lead to higher taxes for those residents to pay off Reedy Creek’s debts and take over the care of roads, policing, fire protection, waste management and more."

“The debt service alone for Reedy Creek is over a billion dollars. This bill makes no provision as to how that debt service is going to be assumed. Local government entities must pick up assets and liabilities of any special district that is dissolved.”

"Still, the bill passed the Florida Senate on Wednesday by a 23-16 vote and the House on Thursday by a 70-38 vote. It now goes to DeSantis’ desk for his signature. Thursday’s vote occurred without any final debate and came as several Black Democratic members were staging a protest over the congressional redistricting map."

“Somebody is still going to have to pay for the bonds that were purchased in order to build that infrastructure. A lot of roadways. Someone is going to have to do those building inspections. It’ll take a lot of those inspectors with a lot of expertise. Someone is going to have to pay for that. If that burden falls on taxpayers, that’s not going to look good for Gov. Desantis. This is going to look like folly.”

3. Oh so THAT'S over the line. Good to know.

4. Disney gone leaves Florida holding the bag.

With millions of visitors a year, the revenues will dry up for Florida.

Mayo Clinic is another all inclusive equal opportunity employer as well.

DeSantis is out of his mind.

5. DeSantis is an anti-business loose cannon. Further,

he’s a compulsive and corroded weathervane stuck pointing at Mar A Guano.

6. Just because the voted on a bill doesn't mean it's legal.

I’d be shocked if Disney hasn’t covered their assets to ensure this isn’t going to play out the way DeSatan thinks it will.
