Nazis flags displayed outside Disney World in support of Gov. Ron DeSantis

Nazi flags were displayed by a group demonstrating outside Orlando’s Disney World in support of Gov. Ron DeSantis. 

Mr DeSantis, who announced his candidacy for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, has been engaged in a public feud with Disney since early 2022. 

The group flying the Nazi flags reportedly also held up messaging in support of Mr DeSantis.

The Orange County Sheriff’s office stated: “We are aware of these groups that aim to agitate and incite people with antisemitic symbols and slurs…but people have the First Amendment right to demonstrate.”

Neither Mr DeSantis nor Disney have commented on the incident.

This is not the first time that Florida has seen protests in support of Governor DeSantis featuring Nazi flags. Mr DeSantis has never publicly endorsed their use or those who display them.
