Ron DeSantis on Thursday signaled support for stripping Disney of its 55-year-old special status that allows the entertainment company to operate as an independent government around its Orlando-area theme park. After DeSantis signed the bill into law earlier Monday, the Walt Disney Company wrote in a statement that its "goal" was to get the law repealed or defeated in the courts. On Thursday, DeSantis went further, suggesting Disney's "special privileges" could be lifted. "Disney has alienated a lot of people now," DeSantis said at a West Palm Beach press conference. And so the question is, why would you want to have special privileges in the law at all?
