Ron DeSantis’ ’Prison Next To Disney World’ Idea Gets The Treatment On Twitter
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ (R) new salvo in his ongoing feud with Disney — in retaliation to the entertainment company’s public criticism of the governor’s “Don’t Say Gay” law — sounds less than magical, said critics on Twitter.
DeSantis suggested on Monday that a state prison could be built on land next to Walt Disney World that is now controlled by the state.
“Come to think of it, what should we do with this land?” the potential 2024 GOP presidential candidate told a news conference. “Maybe create a state park. Maybe try to do more amusement parks. Someone even said, like, maybe you need another state prison. Who knows? I just think that the possibilities are endless.”

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) tweeted: “When the Republican Party runs out of ideas, all they have left is trolling.”
Florida state Rep. Anna Eskamani (D), meanwhile, described the idea as “some dystopian BS.”

Aw yes. In the "free" state of Florida our Governor likes to joke about building a prison next to a major theme park.
This is some dystopian BS. https://t.co/EKGxKtJrrB— Rep. Anna V. Eskamani 🔨 (@AnnaForFlorida) April 17, 2023
That's a nice theme park you have there -- sure would be a shame if something happened to it. https://t.co/TDRC72EEP8

Leadership in the GOP is a governor openly fantasizing about the ways he can undermine his state’s biggest employer and main tourist attraction. https://t.co/4t7vRGIT1O

What kind of politician thinks waging war against Disney is a political winner? And does he want all those tourist dollar at Disney Land instead? https://t.co/jJPVgvqM9c

This guy was supposed to win normies. Building prisons next to Disney World doesn't seem like it's going to win normies. https://t.co/mqdW52RUiD

It cannot be stressed enough how absolutely psychotic this is. DeSantis has decided to declare all-out war on a company that’s an absolute economic godsend for Florida because they were mildly critical of his anti-gay policies. https://t.co/96Bp4pJbHG

Is he... trying to copy Trump's speech patterns and mannerisms? This kind of weird. https://t.co/jzuumwHGWO
