Just like a Republican to think of putting a prison next to a child's theme park. What could possibly go wrong?

[normacabrera]

That’s a stupid idea !! Fl lives off of tourist!!

[Bucketbothead]

Jeez, he is one seriously vindictive grudge holder, just like Trump. Neither one of them should get anywhere near the White House. If you think Trump's first term was divisive, chaotic & unpresidential, then either one of them getting elected President would be more of them same, probably even worse.

America is collapsing but politicians are just trying to out-petty each other

[Montesama]

Ron is having a fight with Minnie Mouse and Daisy Duck over who wears white gogo boots better.

[mcalrod]

Stop the pissing contest already... 🙄

[Timorias]

My guy is desperate for a win against the Disney he’s resorted to the political equivalent of petty rock throwing.

[gary-dong]

Maybe I missed it, but I did not see anything stated about building prisons next to Disney.

[tasher]

If Disney packs up and moves on poor Ron and Florida the loose 75.2 Billion dollars and 463, 000 jobs. LOL Hope they move to my town!

[theire]

Disney should pack their grip, take that trip across the border to Georgia...more sunshine, less rain.

[Aeroldoth]

Story aside, I think it an... intersting choice... to have a news clip with no audio but synth music. More entertaining anyways.

[kingbruke]

Why is he trying to ruin one of the pilers in American family entertainment. Let's not let one man's ego take away the joy children have going to Disney.

[melcolwash]

Go get him Mickey Mouse, take him down.

[dougcoombes]

We can expect nothing less from a professional Trump impersonator.

[Morzanith]

Such a small little man he is. Reminds me of Trump.

[Uvotedthis]

Instead of paying for prisoners to be in jail. Just have them stand in line at Disneyland for rides you'll never have time to do anything else

[kathyperry]

Yes, thousands of children a year beside a prison...?!
He would think that to be an answer to a bullies bruised pompous ego.
Could try... stomping his foot while threatening to take his toys and go home.

The good news is now that Trump has came out against Desantis on this, they'll maybe enough Fla Legislators who support Trump will vote against Desantis plan finally putting an end to this madness! (I never thought I would be rooting for Trump over anyone else, but Desantis would be even more dangerous to this country then even Trump!)

[tekman]

This is the sort of Governing has to be Stopped!! Why can’t they do there jobs the right way!?

[ronleight]

All deathsantis is missing is the tiny mustache.
