So, its no surprise that Lauren Boebert, congresswoman and wife of a noted sex offender, has joined the Florida governor, Ron DeSantis, in his crusade to erase the existence of LGBTQ+ people, all while also pissing off one of the biggest and most beloved corporations in his state.
In a recent statement (via Newsweek), Boebert has taken a direct aim at Disney by supporting a bill that would scrap the two no-fly zones that the company has over their amusement parks as woke corporations shouldnt get any favors from the government.
Boebert, who is one of the original cosponsors of HR 3109, the bill in question, has established that she is against Disney getting any special treatment from the goverment.
The FAA [Federal Aviation Authority] has no business granting a no-fly-zone over Disney parks. Universal Studios, Hershey Park, Six Flags, and other theme parks dont have no-fly-zones over them, and its time for Disney to get the same treatment. No corporation should get preferential treatment from the governmentespecially when it is grooming children. Go woke, go broke.

(67,111 posts)questioning that decision. I've heard they want to create a third theme park but nothing like CA or FL. It will be entirely new. I certainly doubt they will do anything more major in Florida.

Late last week, several House Republicans introduced a bill that would rescind special no-fly zones federally authorized above two Disney properties: Disney World in Orlando, Florida, and Disneyland in Anaheim, California.
Its the latest example of the GOP, which is known for favoring corporate interests, seemingly targeting a corporation because of its political independence. Disney, of course, has been under attack by conservatives especially Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis ever since company leadership spoke out against bigoted legislation, signed by DeSantis, that restricts in-school discussions about LGBTQ people.
I am pissed that it is my congresscritter who filed this bill
Theme parks like Disney should not receive special treatment just because they are well-connected, Nehls said in a news release upon the bills reintroduction. Our national security should not be compromised to fit the needs of one corporation.
Nehls is a low life scum bucket
