Kari Lake Mocks DeSantis Disney Feud: ‘If You Can’t Beat Donald Duck, How Are You Gonna Beat Donald Trump?’

Republican commentator and politician Kari Lake mocked Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’ ongoing feud with Disney during an appearance on Newsmax’s The Balance on Tuesday and questioned how DeSantis could expect to beat former President Donald Trump in the Republican primary when he “can’t beat” Donald Duck.”

“Trump is brilliant, he works the media to perfection, but this whole idea of the fight that is going on down here in Florida between Governor DeSantis and Disney, I mean, it represents so much for conservatives,” said host Eric Bolling. “They love what DeSantis is doing, you know, kind of muting Disney a little bit against all their woke nonsense.”

Pointing out that Trump had “somehow kind of got behind Disney a little bit on that,” Bolling asked Lake whether Trump should move closer to backing DeSantis in the feud.

“Well, Eric, I believe that fighting woke is a worthy cause, absolutely,” Lake replied. “There are few things more important, honestly, than stopping the radical indoctrination and, frankly, the sexual mutilation of our children. But we can’t do it half-assed.”

“When you pick a fight with Disney, you need to play to win, and so far Governor DeSantis has been outworked and outmaneuvered by Disney,” she argued. “As far as I know, Reedy Creek still exists, they’re still hosting trans events at their park, this indoctrination is continuing, and they’re actually rubbing it in the faces of American families.”

Lake then asked, “You know, if you can’t beat Donald Duck, how are you gonna beat Donald Trump?”

“I think that’s the question we have to ask when it comes to Governor DeSantis and I think he should stay in Florida and continue fighting for the people there and try to finish that,” Lake suggested, before concluding that she would “rather see President Trump, who’s a dealmaker, who can make things happen, take on woke corporations.”

According to an Axios report in March, Trump sees Lake “as a model for his vice presidential pick” in 2024. However, Lake has said that Trump is “so strong” he “doesn’t really need a VP.”

Trump has repeatedly mocked DeSantis over his feud with Disney and wrote in April that the governor was “being absolutely destroyed” by the company.

Hate to be a broken record. But, I wish those two would knock off trading insults and join forces against the common enemy.

The result could very likely be more powerful than the sum of the parts.

That is my guess.

But The Deep State will make sure that Trump loses and Lake’s political career goes down the drain,

DeSantis has been WAY more successful than Kari Lake. And unlike Trump, he’s fighting against the perverting of our kids.

I voted for Kari Lake and REALLY wanted her to win...but this is just her sucking up to Trump.

Well, if you don't want to sound like a broken record, stop.

Get back to us when DeSanctimonious finally decides to definitively state he is not running for POTUS 2024 and declaratively declares his support for Trump 2024.

You know, show some loyalty?!?!

Until then, don't expect anything to stop and for this to get much, MUCH worse.

Donald Duck beat himself.

Mickey is hurting.

Minnie is crying.

Goofy is going crazy.

Cinderella is looking to move out of her castle.

Iger is getting beat by a tiger.

Disney is clueless and mindless.

Disneland has turned into Wokeland.

That is impossible. DeSantis & Trump are on different teams. Wall Street vs Main Street. Follow the money trail.

And somehow, in your blind support for DeSantis, you don't think the same result awaits DeSanctimonious if he were actually to win the Primary, only much worse?

If you believe that Trump would lose the General, how much more would DeSanctimonious lost the General without the support of MAGA, which he will not have.

Remember that President Trump brought in millions of die-hard MAGA Loyalists to the polls that had never voted before and will not vote for anyone but President Trump.

DeSantis is whistlin' past the graveyard where his political career is concerned.
