From claiming she keeps hot sauce in her purse to faking a folksy southern accent when speaking with predominantly black audiences, Hillary Clinton has a long documented history of pulling political stunts.
But her latest just backfired.
Like every establishment politician, former First Lady Hillary Clinton has a major issue with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.
Democrats see him as a top threat to the ruling class’ stranglehold on power and control.
That’s especially true in light of his efforts to stop major corporations, like the Walt Disney Company, from using their resources and influence to help Democrats indoctrinate children.
Disney had previously attempted to kill Florida’s Parental Rights in Education bill, which Governor DeSantis signed into law to prevent children under fourth grade from being force fed sexually explicit content and the Left’s anti-science gender insanity.
That led the Florida state legislature to pass a bill – which DeSantis happily signed – that strips Disney of the “special self-governing privileges” the company’s Walt Disney World theme parks and resorts in Florida have enjoyed for decades, while placing control of the Reedy Creek District their property encompasses with a board appointed by Florida’s Governor.
However, Disney attempted to make an end run around the Florida state government by signing a deal with the outgoing board of the Reedy Creek District that gave the company supremacy over the state within the district “until 21 years after the death of the last survivor of the descendants of King Charles III, King of England” – so forever, basically.
Democrats and their media allies celebrated the move as if they were the Isrealites celebrating a young boy’s slaying of a Philistine giant with nothing but a rock and sling.
In response, Governor DeSantis announced the obvious – Disney’s tricks won’t work, and the “deal” they signed as an end run around the state’s legislation would be null and void, forcing the company to live under the same rules as the people of Florida.
“At the end of the day, Disney is not going to have its own government in Florida,” DeSantis proclaimed. “Disney is going to have to live under the same laws that everybody else lives under in Florida.”
Just a few years ago, Democrats would be railing against Disney’s “special privileges” as a prime example of corporatism – and they’d be right.
But now, ruling class Democrats, like Hillary Clinton, are suddenly all about protecting corporate America and ensuring that companies like Disney are allowed to play by a totally different set of rules.
And in what is apparently a rather awkward attempt to troll Governor DeSantis, Clinton took to social media to declare her allegiance to Disney by posting an old photo of herself, former President Bill Clinton, and their daughter, Chelsea, from a family trip they took to one of the company’s many theme parks.

Of course, like every other Democrat, Clinton posted the picture for the sole purpose of somehow trolling the Governor and Republicans.
All she really ended up doing was proving just how out of touch she is with working class Americans.
As Governor DeSantis alluded, polls have consistently shown that the overwhelming majority of Florida voters – including the majority of Democrats – support the Parental Rights in Education bill, and oppose the idea of Disney receiving “special privileges” not afforded to the working class.
Furthermore, recent controversies surrounding the embrace of extreme left-wing ideologies by major corporations, like Anheuser Busch-owned Bud Light, have also proven that the American people will not continue to support companies that put more of an emphasis on pleasing radical left-wing activists than their actual customer base.
Hillary Clinton and her fellow Democrats apparently haven’t gotten the message yet.
