During his disastrous tenure as Disney CEO, Bob Chapek oversaw a near-complete wokification of the once-beloved company with his aggressive pursuit of far-left causes, including transgenderism and the sexualization of children’s entertainment.
As a result, shares of the Walt Disney Co. are in the toilet and the previously invincible company is facing an uncertain financial outlook, with layoffs and hiring freezes on the horizon.
On Sunday, the Walt Disney Co. shitcanned Chapek after just two years on the job. But don’t expect a political reversal under old-now-new boss Bob Iger, who will no doubt push Disney even further left.
Iger, who once entertained a run for the White House against then-President Donald Trump, is an avowed leftist and social justice warrior who recently told CNN that corporate leaders have a moral duty to take a position on issues including climate change, immigration and, most recently, Florida’s anti-grooming Parental Rights in Education law.
“A lot of these issues are not necessarily political. It’s about right and wrong,” Iger said.
Chapek’s decision to pick a fight with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) over the state’s Parental Rights in Education law — which the left smeared as “Don’t Say Gay” — was just one of Disney’s many woke fails under his leadership. Here are five of the biggest woke disasters that Chapek oversaw during his tenure.
Chapek caved to a small group of far-left activist employees, reversing his earlier decision to remain neutral on the Florida legislation. “You needed me to be a stronger ally in the fight for equal rights and I let you down. I am sorry,” Chapek said in a memo to Disney staffers in March. Chapek promised to continue fighting the bill even after it passed into law.
