DeSantis Appointees Vote To Counter-Sue Disney

The Insider reports:

A district board appointed by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis passed a motion Monday during an emergency meeting to counter-sue Disney.

The lawsuit will be filed in central Florida, Martin Garcia, chairman of the board for the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District, said. It was not immediately clear from Monday’s meeting what the basis of the lawsuit would be.

Disney sued the governor and the board last week, alleging that DeSantis and his office have engaged in “a targeted campaign of government retaliation” against Disney that was “orchestrated at every step by Governor DeSantis as punishment for Disney’s protected speech.”

Aside from Garcia, other members of the board include a Moms For Liberty ally and an anti-LGBTQ hate pastor who says that drinking tap water can turn people gay because the water contains estrogen from the urine of women on birth control.
