“A targeted campaign of government retaliation — orchestrated at every step by Governor DeSantis as punishment for Disney’s protected speech — now threatens Disney’s business operations, jeopardizes its economic future in the region, and violates its constitutional rights,” the lawsuit said.

“Disney regrets it has come to this," the company's parks division said in the lawsuit, filed in federal court in Florida.
"But having exhausted efforts to seek a resolution, the company is left with no choice but to file this lawsuit to protect its cast members, guests, and local development partners from a relentless campaign to weaponise government power against Disney in retaliation for expressing a political viewpoint unpopular with certain state officials."

Disney decided to weaponize and politicize its self against a gov of the state they enjoy substantial $ benefits due to ancient agreements when few lived in FL, should expect response. I don't see that one as an abuse of political power by Desantis, but I admit my bias in this one.

Asa Hutchinson -

“I don’t believe if you’re on the left or the right of the political spectrum that government should not be telling business what they can and cannot do in terms of speech. And however you describe it, it appears to me that the governor did not like what Disney was doing in terms of what they were saying and exercising speech, so they’re being punished,” Hutchinson said.

You don’t use the heavy-handed government to punish a business. So yes, I think that is wrong."

Asa trying to be relevant when he is not. Again, if you don't want to be caught up in politics, don't play in politics. Especially if what its based on is a lie to begin with.
