'People realize that he's got a glass jaw, he's got thin skin,' former RNC Chair Michael Steele said. 'He's petulant, he's pouty, he whines a lot.'
DeSantis, who is widely expected to run for president in 2024, has been engaged inwith the Walt Disney Company that many argue has not gone well for the governor. The company, which is the largest employer and tax-paying entity in Florida, last year spoke out against the state's Parental Rights in Education Act, better known colloquially as the"Don't Say Gay Bill," which prohibited discussions of gender identity and sexual orientation in public schools.
In response to the criticism, DeSantis and the Florida state government passed legislation that dissolved the special governing zone around the Walt Disney World theme park near Orlando, known as"Reedy Creek," which had allowed Disney to assume the authorities and duties of a county government for the area. In its place would be a board appointed by DeSantis.

Former RNC Chair Michael Steele said on Sunday that DeSantis's feud with Disney had damaged his image with voters.The move backfired, however, when the outgoing Reedy Creek board passed a measure that transferred considerable power over the area from itself to the Walt Disney Company overall, effectively depriving DeSantis's new board of power before it had even taken over.
