In response to the ongoing legal battle between Disney and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, former South Carolina governor Nikki Haley has weighed in on the matter. However, she took a different stance than her Republican counterparts.
Haley emphasized the importance of partnering with businesses to create a thriving economy. She pointed out that South Carolina is an anti-“woke” state and would ‘welcome Disney with open arms’ if they were to consider moving their jobs and billions of dollars to the state.
The 2024 candidate took a shot at DeSantis on Twitter: “SC’s not woke, but we’re not sanctimonious about it either.”
WATCH:
Hey @Disney, my home state will happily accept your 70,000+ jobs if you want to leave Florida.
We’ve got great weather, great people, and it’s always a great day in South Carolina!

As the Republican field for the 2024 presidential election continues to take shape, incidents like this will undoubtedly play a role in shaping the political landscape.
REACTIONS:
Haley is ok with Disney supporting the grooming of kids in schools.

It's ok if you want to groom children just as long as my State gets tax dollars
Imagine putting this on your Twitter feed thinking this is a wining position in the Republican Party 🤣🤣🤣🤣— Vince Langman (@LangmanVince) April 26, 2023
The issue isn’t DeSantis or Disney’s jobs. The issue is Disney mischaracterizing Florida’s parents rights act as a don’t say gay bill and threatening to help overturn it. Read the simple 5 page bill Governor Haley. Then tell us your new position after your apology.

Hey Nikki, did you know that you need Floridians to vote for you to win the primary? Good luck with that.

This is a very bad take, Governor.
Disney has done nothing but move in bad faith towards wokeness and child grooming. There’s a bad message in their movies nowadays towards trying to indoctrinate our kids. DeSantis was completely correct in fighting them.
You’re trying to score…
