Disney states that it “regrets that it has come to this,” but the company has filed this lawsuit to “protect its cast members, guests, and local development partners from a relentless campaign to weaponize government power against Disney in retaliation for expressing a political viewpoint unpopular with certain State officials.”

According to the lawsuit, Disney has been attempting to de-escalate its conflict with the Florida government for almost a year, with no positive results.

Disney asserts that the Florida government is violating the company’s federal constitutional rights and that Disney is now “forced to defend itself against a State weaponizing its power to inflict political punishment.”

In effect, Disney states, “In America, the government cannot punish you for speaking your mind.”
