Sen. Rick Scott vacations at Disney World after vowing to cut ties with Disney

Sen. Rick Scott has posted a picture of himself, his wife and his granddaughter at Disney World after having vowed to boycott Disney for its “woke” policies, multiple news outlets report.

“Hey TMZ. Yes, I’m at Disney with my grandkids. Should we be in DC? Yes! But I don’t get to make that decision,” the Florida Republican posted Saturday on X, referring to Congress being on Easter hiatus.

The entertainment news site TMZ responded, saying his post sounded like “It’s sort of like saying, not my job, man” and “the fact that the Senate finally came up with a bill they could agree on as time ran out and they ditched D.C. before the House even voted … well, if he thinks that’s doing the job, we disagree.

“Anyway, have a great time there, Rick. [Sen.] Lindsey [Graham] highly recommends Fantasyland. Although for members of Congress, been there, done that,” TMZ posted on its blog.

Mr. Scott, a former Florida governor, in 2022 made several media appearances and wrote a Washington Examiner op-ed declaring he had canceled his Disney+ streaming subscription and wouldn’t return to the Orlando theme park.

His remarks expressed outrage over The Walt Disney Co. opposing Florida’s Parental Rights in Education Act (dubbed the “Don’t Say Gay” law), which limited discussions about sexual orientation and gender identity in public schools.
