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.”

Polis just wants a shot at blowing Mickey.
I thought Dems hated big corps and do anything to vilify them? And BTW, Idont know if any corp ever has had the weird control Disney has over its little fiefdom. Would think Dems would hate that.
Schadenfreude again, I guess.
I can’t see people going to a theme park in Colorado during the winter.
More reasons to love Desantis.
Hated by Dems.
Really, just more gaslighting from the communists. I do hope the Dems run on this in the midterms and I do hope the Pubs have the backbone to shove it in their faces. I know, I know but I can still hope!
What rock did this guy crawl out from?
Good grief these people are stupid.
Only Child Molesters want to sexualize 5 to 8 year olds.
Misinformation....
I believe most don't and they are just doing a virtue signal pile-on because in their bubble it makes them "cool."
But liberalism is a true mental disorder and some of the progs are 100% insane and quite dangerous.
They see themselves as being very knowledgeable and should be allowed to attack those they deem to be haters, Nazis, xxxxxxphobic, xxxxxxphobic, xxxxxxphobic, xxxxxxphobic, etc.
They believe they are "on the right side of history."
I believe the steps of the gallows they will be climbing should be on the right side as they move on into history.
Most of the truly notorious progs go out that way.

Jared..? Jared? Is there something about that name?
There are some good Coloradans:

Governor B******k, as I like to call him, has his own page on “Colorado Peak Politics.”
He was for a time the richest member of the Senate, among his other “distinctions.”
Jared Polis (like many on this forum unfortunately), does not know the difference between a public company and a private one.
Disney is publicly traded. It’s real owners (the shareholders) did not get a say on how the employees and executives decided to engage in local politics and the culture wars.
Exactly how attacking parental rights to protect their children from sexually mature (or even sexually abusive) content is supposed to help make Disney more appealing and profitable, the executives and employees did not say.
Like Netflix (with their “Cuties” fiasco), Disney is acting tone deaf while shareholders’ investments are put at risk so the board can engage in politics and cultural warfare.
Polis is a jackass. Florida, not Colorado is where all the smart Americans are moving to.
Gov. Polis is on a terror; apparently his husband had a headache last night.
Sadly can confirm, just moved from Florida (44 years) to western slope Colorado. You are correct; there is some serious turmoil in Colorado.
Gov. polesmoker sticks his -—— into the disney thing in Florida.
Really? Let me know when the tanks start rolling.
I guess Polis doesn't remember when Magpul was driven out of Colorado for supporting the Second Amendment.
I have not forgot.
