Some non-MAGA conservatives in the Republican Party have criticized Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for using his position to bully Disney, including New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu and former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan. But being a far-right culture warrior is a big part of DeSantis' brand. DeSantis draws a lot of publicity in right-wing media by going after targets he considers "woke," and the Florida governor regards a wide range of targets as "woke."
DeSantis' latest target is the National Hockey League (NHL). As he sees it, the NHL's push for diversity is an example of "wokeness." But some GOP strategists, according to Daily Beast reporter Jake Lahut, are questioning the wisdom of making the NHL a target of his "anti-woke" wrath.
