Former McDonald's CEO: Disney's leaders should be fired
Former McDonald's CEO Ed Rensi slams Disney executives for causing controversy over Gov. DeSantis' parental rights law.
Former McDonald's CEO Ed Rensi believes Disney executives should be fired for entering into politics "without thought and care" and costing shareholders. Rensi joined "Fox & Friends" Friday to discuss Disney's attack on Governor Ron DeSantis over the parental rights law.
CLAY TRAVIS: THIS IS WHAT RON DESANTIS IS SAYING TO DISNEY
ED RENSI: I think probably they were speaking to an audience within the company of employees and executives. But the fact of the matter is boards of directors and executives of a company work for the shareholders. Their duty is to increase profit in sales in a good way so that shareholders benefit, so they get dividends and additional stock and the company can grow. And when they get off into minority issues and social engineering and political issues, they lose their focus on responsibility. In my opinion, the chief legal officer of Disney should be fired. The CEO ought to be fired because they entered into an area without thought and care. The people of Florida are not ignorant. Nowhere in that bill, from what I've read, does it say the word ‘gay’ anywhere. This is a parents' rights bill to make sure that their children aren't exposed to sexual material before they're mature enough to handle it right? I think that's reasonable.
