Hillary Clinton has taken a jab at Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis over his feud with Disney, posting a family photo from the famous amusement park on Twitter.
The picture showed the former Secretary of State, along with her husband, former President Bill Clinton, and daughter Chelsea Clinton posing next to Disney's famous Donald Duck.
She captioned the photo with the following message:
“As Republicans declare war on Disney, I know whose side I’m on…"

Clinton's tweet came after DeSantis' ongoing dispute with Disney was reignited when he proposed building a prison or another park near the land owned by the company.
The feud began last year when Disney spoke out against his Parental Rights in Education plan—or "Don't Say Gay" law—which limits the instruction of gender identity and sexuality in public schools. DeSantis signed another bill that dissolved the private government that oversaw Walt Disney World and its land, following criticism from the company.
Many appreciated Clinton's response and joined her in criticizing DeSantis.
Great picture! Team Disney

Desantis has shown the world he can’t mange a state. He simply could have ignored the Disney right to free speech and moved on. Instead he had his feelings hurt and is attacking an American company. For no reason other than bruised ego.

Disney and all their jobs and money should leave Florida

Former President Donald Trump and former New Jersey Republican Governor Chris Christie have also criticized DeSantis for his actions against the company.
Trump wrote on Truth Social that DeSantis is being "absolutely destroyed by Disney" and that "his original PR plan fizzled," forcing him to "come up with a new one to save face."
Meanwhile, Christie questioned whether DeSantis was even conservative, saying that punishing those who express disagreement is something he "thought only liberals did."
Even though Trump has made it known that he plans to run for the GOP presidential nomination in 2024, Christie and DeSantis have not yet officially started their campaigns, even though they have hinted at the possibility of running.
On the other hand, Clinton, a Democrat, has already declared that she has no intentions of running for the presidency again.
