A group of individuals waving Nazi flags and banners with fascist symbols was seen outside Walt Disney World in Orlando, as shown in video and images posted on social media by Florida state legislator Anna Eskamani.
The display, which occurred on Friday, was described by Eskamani as absolutely disgusting. Anti-gun activist Shannon Watts also posted an image showing the same group of protesters holding homophobic signs. Watts tweeted that nearby was a banner promoting the presidential campaign of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.
Two dozen white supremacists are outside the main Disney World entrance in Orlando right now, marching with signs featuring Gov DeSantiss face, swastikas, the n-word and homophobic slurs, Watts wrote. This is the 2023 Republican Party.
It is unclear which organization the protesters are affiliated with, and Disney World and DeSantis have not yet commented on the incident. Disney has been embroiled in a political dispute with DeSantis, who recently announced his candidacy for the GOP nomination for President.
The company has sued DeSantis after his administration stripped Disney of semi-autonomous control over the tax District that oversees zoning on the land where the theme parks were built. Disney has alleged that DeSantis violated the companys First Amendment rights to free expression after it came out against the so-called Dont Say Gay legislation that bars sex and gender identity education for children before the third grade. Walt Disney World in Orlando is a popular destination for LGBTQ visitors during Pride Month.
