Jenna Ellis Defends Disney Views as Ex-Trump Lawyer Takes Conservative Fire
Newsweek ^ | 4/24/22 AT 4:58 AM EDT | KHALEDA RAHMAN

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.'"

No what you have to watch out for is the corrupt judges who will take anything said by anyone and twist it to benefit their side.

That’s not a Bill of Attainder. The tax would have fallen on numerous colleges, not just one, although a court might have found your college’s exemption questionable, maybe under the 14th Amendment. JMO.

Another moron begging for attention. Maybe she and Skeletor and Piers Morgan have the same publicist

“Ann Coulter: “I Thought Trump Lost, But He Says He Won In 2020, Which Means He Can’t Run Again”...(Under US Constitution Amendment XXII, Section 1)

“Piers Morgan: Trump Has a ‘Blind, Pathological Belief’ He Won the 2020 Presidential Election”

While debatable, recinding special (imo crony) status does not amount to a Bill of Attainder since the Disney Corp does not own the ‘right’ to special district status.
Absent the current political situ
if the Florida State Legislature were to revoke the special status would that be unConstitutional Bill of Attainder?

How will she be able to help Disney, considering all the time she’s devoting to representing the Jan. 6 POWs? Oh, wait ...

I get the feeling she’s a whack job. Once I heard her mention her marriage. IIRC, she ended it after about a month because her husband didn’t obey her or something. She didn’t go into detail, but there was something hinky about the whole thing. (Apologies if I’m mis-remembering; it’s been a while.)

“she’s a grifter with mental health issues.”

Agree. She used to be on RAV after the 5:00 War Room show. It didn’t last long. If a woman can be pompous, I’d say she was/is.

Hey, Jenna. Great job on the election fraud. Yeah, you failed big time. But, I guess I am not supposed to notice.
