Former Vice President Mike Pence said Wednesday on CNBC’s “Squawk Box” that Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) had not acted as he would have a “conservative limited-government Republican.”
Host Andrew Ross Sorkin said, “What do you think of DeSantis did with Disney in Florida? There’s two ways to look at it. One is to say Disney spoke out on a political or social issue, but then clearly, there was retribution political against them. I think it’s empirical what happened. He said as much when he did it. So people talk about cancel culture. Some people say, well, you know, they’re canceling on one side. The other side says DeSantis used his political power to cancel them.”
Pence said, “I would say two things, number one, I fully supported Florida’s initiative to protect kids and protect parental rights. I was just in Iowa last week where there’s literally a school, the Linn-Mar Community School, that will allow a student to get a transition plan without parental at notice or approval. I fully support what Florida did about protecting kids under the third grade. But Look, Disney stepped into the fray, they lost. But the idea of going after the taxing authority, you know, that was beyond the scope of what I, as a conservative, limited-government Republican would be prepared to do.”

Pence is an unimaginative boring bland stiff in a mental box.
Go away, Pence.
No, chamber of commerce Republican alert. The chamber of commerce fake conservative Republicans believe in only one thing. If profits may be negatively impacted in any way anywhere by anything then it is bad. Outside of that there is no interest in all that ‘impractical and intellectual stuff’. Ayn Rand found this out to her surprise during the atlas Shrugged period. Pence is a classic Babbitt.
It is conservative to remove special carve outs for big business. That’s what Reedy Creek was. Political favors.
I don’t care what you call it. I am glad he did it.
Such stupidity is dangerous!
“Pence is welcome to fcck off.”
That was my initial feelings as well. I believe what DeSantis did wasn’t ‘retribution’ but regaining state control of something that should have been under state control for a while. It has become obvious that Democrats prosecute political opponents (See Trump and many others) for made up crimes and smallest crimes (See many Jan 6th protesters) to maximum and let blatant violent criminals out of jail and fail to prosecute those who are left leaning. This entire thing has become an issue of Rule of Law, and when a corporation goes left wing it can’t be in charge of any local legal system without accountability to elections.
President Trump has done so many good things; elevating Pence to the national stage is not one of them.
Is it beyond the scope of limited conservative government to stop giving Disney special treatment?
that’s right Pence stand up for the Iger and the rest of the Disney perverts.
“He shouldve been like me and capitulated to the woke left. That shows them thst we mean business.”
Mr. Grahamnesty…. A country without enforceable borders and an immigration plan that limits applicants and requires a commitment to no welfare or other benefits for at least 20 years.
So wouldn’t that mean the original granting special status for Reedy Creek was also beyond those principles and DeSantis took action to fix that?
Here we go with Mike Pence-Hogan using “big government” as an excuse to do NOTHING.
I am tired of these kind of Republicans.
Pence -5
