Rubio Slaps Down Disney's Hypocritical Shrieking Over Florida Parental Rights Law

As the Walt Disney Company continues its attempts to smear Florida's efforts to protect children while signaling its own virtue, Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) reminded the company that they don't have much of a leg to stand on when it comes to calling out others for perceived human rights violations.

After Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed the state's latest law aimed at fortifying parents' rights and protecting the youngest members of the rising generation from woke indoctrination in school, Disney continued losing its collective mind.

Repeating false claims about what HB 1557 prohibits in early education, the Walt Disney Company released a statement saying the bill "should never have passed and should never have been signed into law" before declaring its "goal as a company is for this law to be repealed by the legislature or struck down in the courts, and we remain committed to supporting the national and state organizations working to achieve that." Disney also tried its hand at virtue signaling by adding "We are dedicated to standing up for the rights and safety of LGBTQ+ members of the Disney family, as well as the LGBTQ+ community in Florida and across the country."

The statement doesn't, of course, claim a commitment to the "rights and safety" of people elsewhere in the world where Disney does business with tyrants — an inconvenient contradiction for Disney that renders the company's triggered shrieking pure hypocrisy.

Uh, what's up with these "dudes" and slapping? Is it more of an insult to slap? BranDUHn would never slap. He'd simply take you (or cornpop) behind the gym and pop you in the nose. You know, like obxxx did by breaking his buddy's nose at Punahoe. (Did anyone see him toss the pitch? I rest my case.) Anyway, IF dizzknee had any cojones, they'd pull up stakes and leave FL for good. Maybe move to atlanta.

Okay he slapped but did he “throw shade” on them? Or “dunk” on them? Did he even “clap back” upon them? The voting public demands to know !

It's an internet culture thing - virtual slapdowns and the like. Mostly descends from this idea:

I think the bigger question is did he do it in knee high foam shirtless in tight short shorts while dancing at a gay bar?

[V_TWIN]

Bro....that midget ain’t dunkin’ on nobody. Lol

[FlingWingFlyer]

It’s time for REAL parents to just say no to Disney and Marvel. They are the latest greatest threat to national security and litte, Mexican female teenyboppers with rock star aspirations.

How many votes does Disney have?

[A Navy Vet]

Every time I read about how "woke" Disney has become I get sad. They used to be the epitome of traditional family values and "wholesomeness". I keep wondering why it lost its way. Is it more LBVGOUY whatever types moving up through the ranks, or just wanting more dollars?

I also wonder how many good decent families have quit Disney because of them catering to such a small percentage of the population.

[rktman]

“...I also wonder how many good decent families have quit Disney...” Not enough as far as I’m concerned. And trying to make some folks understand that dizzknee is NOT your friend mostly falls on deaf ears. When we lived in FL and folks would come visit we would give them directions to get to dizzknee world and tell them to have a good time. We quit them a very long time ago.

“Rubio Slaps...”

Well, I’m sure THAT’S gonna leave a mark. /s

Not enough as far as I’m concerned. And trying to make some folks understand that dizzknee is NOT your friend mostly falls on deaf ears.

Walt Disney really did create an image of wholesomeness that is hard for some people to forget. It's like people who still click on Drudge for conservative news or who vote for traitors like Romney because they have an "R" next to their name. They don't get that times have changed.

If you hold you hand rigid and “slap” someone upside the jaw with good contact with the base of your palm just above the wrist you have a good chance of knocking them right out and not breaking your hand.

Open hand strikes can be effective when executed properly. HIII YAAAAA! LOL!

[Rdct29]

Disney wants to protect the rights of gays and trans people. They say nothing about protecting the rights and safety of innocent children. I wouldn’t piss on Disney if it was on fire.

[JimRed]

Every statement by our side on this topic MUST include the term “GROOMING”. We have to out their true agenda.

[1Old Pro]

Good for little Marco, of course this news about Disney in bed with China will never make it to the legacy Leftist activist media.

[rrrod]

Let’s ask Sheriff Brady about Disney employees...hmm?

[Tucker39]

Who is the broad being slapped by Glenn Ford? Back in the day, he was one of my faves. He was real macho in SHEEPMAN.

[ShawnShawntheLeprecaun]

I agree about the don’t groom kids bill but rino rubio will be voted out. where has he been for the last two years??? nothing to say about ALL THIS until campaign season.
