Florida Governor Ron DeSantis defended his dispute with the Walt Disney Co. saying he would not back down despite criticism from prominent Republican donor and billionaire Ken Griffin.
“I’m a leader. I’m not a follower. So we lead, and we do what we think is right, and people can support us or not support us financially, but you should not be led by trying to please very wealthy donors. I’ve never operated that way,” DeSantis said Wednesday in an interview on ABC News Live Prime.
