Candace Owens calls for boycott of ‘pedophile’ Disney

Candace Owens, the conservative commentator for the Daily Wire, is main calls for a boycott of the Walt Disney Co. over its opposition to the “Don’t Say Gay” invoice that was signed into regulation by Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis earlier this week.

Owens slammed Disney as “child groomers” and “pedophiles” in a tweet Thursday. She posted the provocative message in response to Disney’s criticism of the brand new regulation, which the corporate has vowed to combat.

The regulation, which prohibits lecturers from discussing LGBTQ matters like sexual orientation or gender identification with college students until they’re within the fourth grade or larger, has been broadly lambasted as homophobic and transphobic. 

“They have now openly admitted they have a not so secret agenda with your children,” Owens tweeted. “This is the death of Disney.” She added the hashtag #BoycottDisney.

Conservatives have been livid at Disney after a producer advised staffers that she had been pushing a “not-at-all-secret gay agenda” for kids’s animation.

Owens’ firm, which is run by Ben Shapiro, introduced earlier this week that it’ll make investments $100 million in kids’s content material as half of a plan to create an alternative choice to “woke” Disney.

“Americans are tired of giving their money to woke corporations who hate them,” mentioned the Daily Wire co-CEO Jeremy Boreing.

“They’re tired of giving their money to woke media companies who want to indoctrinate their children with radical race and gender theory.”

“But they want to do more than just cancel them. They want alternatives.”

Boreing added: “The Daily Wire is giving them those alternatives.”

Boreing advised Daily Wire staffers that the corporate will “invest a minimum of $100 million over the next three years into a line of live-action and animated children’s entertainment on its streaming platform.”

Daily Wire subscribers could have entry to the content material starting within the spring of subsequent 12 months, in accordance with Boreing.

Last week, Shapiro mentioned his firm supposed to tackle Disney and different massive content material distributors that had been “being held hostage by the woke because they are cowards.”

“If you want entertainment that’s going to cater to your children, we’re going to start making kids’ content over here at Daily Wire specifically,” Shapiro mentioned on his podcast on Tuesday.

“So you don’t have to be catered to by companies who hate your guts and cater to the people who despise your values.”

Launched in 2015, the Daily Wire was based by Shapiro and Boreing. It has since grown to an organization that employs 115 individuals full-time due to its right-leaning podcasts and web site.

In latest months, the corporate has introduced plans to create unique content material corresponding to films and collection in hopes of competing with the likes of Netflix and different mainstream media firms.

DeSantis additionally denounced Disney on Friday, saying that his administration would look into revoking its particular standing as a quasi-governing entity.
