Jenna Ellis, a former attorney for former president Donald Trump, is taking fire from conservatives as she continues to defend Disney's right to criticize a Florida law.
Earlier this week, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed into law a bill that revoked Disney's self-governing privileges in the state.
The bill has been widely viewed as retribution for the company's criticism of Florida's new law, dubbed "Don't Say Gay" by opponents, which bars instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity in kindergarten through third grade.
Ellis, who was hired by Trump as a legal advisor in 2019 and later part of the legal team that tried to challenge the results of the 2020 presidential election, has called DeSantis' actions "over the line" and offered her legal services to Disney.
On Twitter, Ellis has been fending off criticism from conservatives over her stance.
"You can't be woke enough to pacify leftists. Turns out you can't be MAGA enough to pacify the right," she wrote in a tweet on Saturday.
In another tweet, she wrote that the "same conservatives upset at the govt for trying to punish Hobby Lobby are now cheering that the govt is trying to retaliate against Disney for exercising its right to political speech and oppose legislation. The rule cannot be 'It's fine when I disagree with the speech.'"

She’s not teying to save them. I watched the interview, what she saiid was retaliation would give Disney the advantage and because one of the lawmakers said they were getting even with Disney it could cause the loss of the case. The law is the law. She she was just being honest.

She attacked Trump a lot in 2016.
Disney needs to pay through the nose. I’d be perfectly happy if Florida shut the perverts down completely. I just don’t want peopkesuddenly acting like Jena is on Disney’s side just because she stated the law.
Apparently the drafters of the bill may have missed a some big Disney tax breaks which will remain. Legilsators are not the best and brightest amongst us.
They definitely have to right to say whatever...and the gubmint has the right to do what they do! This shouldn’t be that big of a deal except that the pervo-fascists are now against the gubmint because their commie buddies are not in charge for a change!
Trump has charisma. DeSantis does not.
