Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis speaks at the Conservative Political Action Conference , Feb. 24, 2022, in Orlando, Fla., which claims illegal retaliation over a political dispute.

DeSantis as punishment for Disney's protected speech -- [which] now threatens Disney's business operations, jeopardizes its economic future in the region, and violates its constitutional rights.
