Potato quote "Christ, they're going after Mickey Mouse": Biden criticizes 'ugly' Republicans for going to war with Disney, says the 'far right has taken over the party' and insists Democrats can GAIN two seats in the Senate in November
April 22, 2022
"resident Joe Biden criticized 'ugly' Republicans for targeting Disney at his two west coast fundraisers Thursday. 'This is not your father's Republican Party,' Biden said Thursday afternoon at a high-dollar fundraiser at the Portland Yacht Club, co-hosted by The New Republic's owner and editor Win McCormack and his political consultant wife, Carol Butler. 'This is the MAGA party.' The president said the Republican Party is 'not even conservative in the traditional sense of conservatism.' 'I mean it's ugly. I mean, look at what's happening now in Florida. Christ, they're going after Mickey Mouse,' Biden said. He made similar pro-Disney remarks at his second fundraiser in Seattle, Washington, headlining an affair at the lakefront home of Mary Snapp and Spencer Frazer hosted by Microsoft's President and Vice Chair Brad Smith and his wife Kathy Surace-Smith. 'There's nothing conservative about throwing Disney out of its current posture… over saying gay?' the president mused to the Seattle crowd. Earlier Thursday, Florida Republicans started the process of dissolving Disney's special status that allowed Walt Disney World to act as its own government. Disney publicly criticized the so-called 'Don't Say Gay' bill backed by the state's Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis. Biden's trip out west marked the first time he traveled to raise campaign dollars since becoming president. "
