Desperate to dig itself out from underneath all the negative publicity it has earned in recent weeks, Disney announced that it has hired Kristina Schake as the company's new spokesperson.
Unfortunately, this is not a step in the right direction. Schake's biography clearly suggests that Disney is simply doubling down on its rush to the far left.
Her most recent gig involved leading the PR efforts for the Biden Administration's COVID vaccination campaign. Prior to that, she co-founded a group that sought to overturn Proposition 8, California's voter-approved defense of marriage law, and she served as deputy communications director for Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign.
So, she has plenty of experience lying to the public. What could possibly go wrong?!
Well, here's something else that's going horribly wrong at Disney. A top Disney executive recently left no doubt that the company is all in on left's gender insanity.
Karey Burke, president of Disney Entertainment, recently said this:
"We were targeting a young, I think, more open-minded [audience] — and now we know, as my son texted me this morning: 'Gen Z is 30 to 40 percent queerer than the other generations, mom, so Disney better get with it.'"
Once the symbol of wholesome, family-friendly entertainment, Disney has jumped head first into the cultural cesspool.
Meanwhile, congressional conservatives are pushing back against the corporate media giant. As you might expect, Disney has a lot of legislative interests, not the least of which are copyrights and trademarks. But congressional conservatives are in no mood to lift a finger to help Disney's woke executives.
Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN), a stalwart conservative, is blasting the company for "kowtowing" to communist China, and is organizing opposition among House Republicans. In a letter to Disney CEO Bob Chapek, Banks writes:
"It's unfortunate that Disney, once an American success story, has allied with a hostile foreign regime [communist China] and domestic ideologues who seek to tear our country apart."
Disney has even lost the support of Florida Senator Marco Rubio. In a statement, Rubio blasted the company's left-wing executives, saying:
"Disney is in uncharted waters because of the radical activism of its corporate leadership. It's not clear how this whole thing plays for them, but they have made themselves the face of efforts to indoctrinate 5-year-old children on gender identity."
If he were alive today, Walt Disney would be horrified. He was a very traditional man. In fact, when he was alive, men could not work in the Disney parks if they had facial hair. Today, Snow White might have a beard!
