Governor Jared Polis (D-CO) said Thursday on MSNBC’s “The ReidOut” that Gov. Ron DeSantis’s (R-FL) law to penalize Disney by removing the company’s special tax status and privileges because they oppose Florida’s so-called “Don’t Say Gay” law is like the actions of dictators.
Polis said, “This is out of the playbook of authoritarianism of government intervention into private businesses saying you don’t do what I want, you’re not supporting my anti-gay law. Therefore I will directly penalize your company, not pass some general law that affects all companies. Literally, we will go after your company if you don’t get in line. I mean, that’s out of the playbook of Maduro in Venezuela, Chávez. This is the kind of leadership they have that stifles freedom stifles economic prosperity. This is exactly what we are seeing out of Ron DeSantis in Florida. Colorado is always happy to have a mountain Disney. Micky and Minnie are safe here.”

It’s a target rich environment.
You wouldn't believe how rigged the Colorado "elections" are.
Lol! No if DeSantis had used the Putin playbook the CEO of Disney would be on his way to Gulag, and half the board of Disney would be dead under mysterious circumstances.
Polis is a freaking idiot. Disney has been getting their special tax breaks for fifty years, breaks no other company got. This is exactly what Polis is railing against. DeSantis’ action levels the playing field.
Let’s see some corporation do to Colorado’s policies what Disney did in Florida and watch this Governor do a lightning-quick 180.
I do. I lived there for 30+ years and worked with Donnetta Davidson with elections.
Early pandering. Polis wants to get in on the ground floor should Mickey need a new magic kingdom.
what a pansy!
So the liberal is essentially claiming that deciding to no longer play favorites is authoritarian. The state played favorites for years with Disney when trying to start development ...and continued to give them an advantage other businesses didn’t get long after there was a need to promote development.
The poofter governor is having fun in the spotlight of DeSantis hate.
“Florida’s so-called “Don’t Say Gay” law”
—
Conservative writers have the hardest time not using the far-left’s terminology and framing. It can’t be all that hard to write “Parent’s Rights Law” instead.
Every time I think of it, I'm convinced Colorado shouldn't even be a state.
The Florida governor's moral fiber is stronger than the Colorado governor's.
I predicted this the day they legalized gay marriage.
Every time I hear name-calling like this, I wonder what child did that guy molest?
The crackpots have been calling everyone they disagree with Putin since Trump got elected.
I’m OK with sending Mickey and Goofy to the front lines.
Putin opposes homos grooming children. God bless him.
Starting to root for Putin. If all these demonic aholes are against him...
I think God is going to put egg on the face of the western world over this Ukraine War. Just a guess but getting a feeling in prayer
Denver is BLM occupied with help of leftist police departments, much more similar to the green men situation in Donbas
