Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has also been a fierce critic of the entertainment giant.Former President Donald Trump, who is the de facto face of the MAGA movement, called out Disney for "going woke" during a rally in Florida earlier this month.Reactions to the report that the Epcot theme park is now rolling out pronouns on employees' pins have evoked the culture wars over the past several months, which saw conservatives call for boycotts of several companies that showed support for the LGBTQ+ community.
