Disney CEO Bob Iger hit back at Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) over his feud with the company, calling the governor's attacks "preposterous."

In an interview with CNBC, Iger defended Disney's conduct in Florida while dismissing DeSantis's and Republicans' allegations that the company was sexualizing children. He also claimed that it isn't his intention to become the center of a culture war dispute.

“The last thing that I want for the company is for the company to be drawn into any culture wars,” Iger told the outlet.

“We are a preeminent entertainer in the world, and we’re proud of our track record there. The notion that Disney is in any way sexualizing children, quite frankly, is preposterous and inaccurate,” he added.

The Disney CEO then went on to express concern over DeSantis's conduct, which he claimed was retaliation for the company's stance toward the Parental Rights in Education bill.

“We are concerned that he has decided to retaliate against the company for a position the company took on pending legislation in that state,” Iger said.

He admitted that Disney's stance toward the legislation may not have been handled well but said the company was well within its rights.

“And frankly, the company was within its right, even though I’m not sure it was handled very well, it was within its right to speak up on an issue [of the] constitutionally protected right of free speech,” he added. “To retaliate against the company in a way that would be harmful to the business was not something that we could sit back and tolerate.”
