- Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida told CNBC he and his allies would like to move on from the Disney feud.
- DeSantis said he’d like to tell CEO Bob Iger to drop the lawsuit and that Disney couldn’t win it.
- But legal experts previously told Insider the lawsuit brought by Disney had some teeth.
Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida has apparently moved on from his long, public feud with Disney — and would like the House of the Mouse to do the same.
In an interview with CNBC that aired Monday, DeSantis said he and his allies had “basically moved on” from sparring with Disney.
The feud kicked off last year when DeSantis revoked Disney’s special tax status after the company spoke out against the state’s Parental Rights in Education Act, dubbed by critics the “Don’t Say Gay” law.
DeSantis added that he did not plan to undo the changes to Disney’s tax status.
