Nazis Protest Outside Of Walt Disney World (Video)

On Saturday, a group of protesters gathered outside Walt Disney World theme park in Florida, holding signs featuring Nazi imagery and messages in support of the state’s controversial governor, Ron DeSantis.

DeSantis, who recently announced his candidacy for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination, has been engaged in a prolonged dispute with the Walt Disney Company for over a year. The conflict originated when the entertainment company opposed the Parental Rights in Education Act, commonly referred to as the “Don’t Say Gay” bill.

In response, the Republican governor targeted Disney’s Florida theme park, introducing legislation that revoked the park’s special self-governance zone, which granted Disney significant autonomy in managing the land, according to Newsweek.

Disney, in turn, has countered DeSantis’s actions through legal means, including a recent lawsuit against the state government. The company alleges that it has faced unlawful political retaliation for exercising its right to free speech.

This ongoing conflict has raised concerns about the governor’s standing as a political leader.

DeSantis dismissed the lawsuit as “political” and lacking merit, asserting that the state of Florida will no longer allow any company to operate without accountability.

On Saturday, images and videos circulated on social media depicting a small group of protesters gathered near the prominent sign at the entrance roadway to Disney World. They carried signs and flags adorned with Nazi imagery, including swastikas. Some displayed signs and banners featuring DeSantis’s face and messages endorsing his 2024 presidential campaign.

Anna V. Eskamani, a Democratic Florida State Representative whose district encompasses the Orlando metropolitan area, was among the first to share a video of the protestors, expressing her disgust at the presence of Nazis outside Walt Disney World.

Activist and organizer Shannon Watts tweeted, “Two dozen white supremacists are currently outside the main entrance of Disney World in Orlando, marching with signs featuring Gov. DeSantis’s face, swastikas, the n-word, and homophobic slurs. This is the 2023 Republican Party.”

The presence of protesters displaying Nazi imagery and hate-filled messages has sparked outrage and condemnation from various individuals and groups, highlighting the concerning nature of the situation.
