Pence Condemns DeSantis For Revenge Against Disney

“I’m a limited government conservative, and I believe in private property, free enterprise. My concern more broadly was just simply about taking action against a company in the wake of a political dispute, where the company had taken a different position than the state.

“I have concerns about that in Florida. I had the exact same concerns about California, pulling a $54 million contract from Walgreens because Walgreens announced that they’ll not be distributing the abortion pill in 20 states where it would be illegal to do so.

“To me, it’s the same kind of government activism — one on the right, one on the left, and both are wrong.

“I think there’s also First Amendment issues. Businesses have the right to take the stance that they take without fear of retribution from government entities.” – Mike Pence, in an interview with Yahoo News.
