‘No sympathy here’: Disney shares tumble to lowest level in almost a decade after diving into woke politics

As Americans were watching the results of the midterm elections on Tuesday night and into early Wednesday, the shares of Walt Disney Co.’s stocks were falling faster than Beto O’Rouke’s hopes of finally amounting to something notable.

The media giant’s stock tanked, down more than 13 percent on Wednesday to just below $87, the lowest it’s been since 2014, according to Breitbart.

The news follows disappointing fourth-quarter results for the company that revealed Disney’s streaming services, including Disney+ and Hulu, lost a jaw-dropping $1.5 billion.

“For the calendar year,” Breitbart reports, “the stock is down close to 70 percent.”

For Breitbart Senior Writer John Nolte, the reason behind the dismal numbers is obvious: Disney ditched its “idea of safe and wholesome entertainment for children” and has “become a company dedicated to child abuse and grooming.”

In other words, Disney went woke, and now it’s going broke.

“The Walt Disney Company’s open desire to sexually groom small children has undoubtedly contributed to a collapse in the perverted and predatory company’s stunning stock plunge,” Nolte wrote in a scathing Breitbart op-ed.

Indeed, Disney made all the wrong kinds of headlines when it campaigned against Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’s Parental Rights in Education legislation — disingenuously nicknamed the “Don’t Say Gay” bill by the left.

The bad press continued in the wake of a leaked clip from a Disney+ cartoon series called “Baymax!” that featured a transgender man in a rainbow t-shirt shopping for menstrual pads “with wings” and a same-sex kiss that got Buzz Lightyear banned in the Middle East.

But as American Wire previously reported, Disney’s CEO, Bob Chapek, recently doubled down on the company’s “woke” content at the Wall Street Journal Tech Live conference in October.

“You know, I think the more complex something is, the more you have to really drill down into the basics,” Chapek said. “And we want our content to reflect the rich, diverse world that we live in.”

“And again,” he continued, “I guess that’s another way of saying, ‘catering to your audience,’ but the world is a rich, diverse place, and we want our content to reflect that.”

According to Nolte, “Disney openly embracing the sexual grooming of children through transsexual propaganda and promoting drag queens and homosexuality (all in kids programming and movies) is like Colgate embracing tooth decay, pancakes embracing waffles, and hamburgers embracing tofu….”

Disney once represented a “wholesome” place where parents knew their “children’s innocence” would not be touched, Nolte writes.

“Once Disney tossed that out the door to become a company dedicated to child abuse and grooming, all of its specialness dissolved,” he states. “If anything, because the Disney brand is so powerful, it’s much more dangerous than entertainment outlets that don’t disguise the fact they are not for kids.”

“Today,” Nolte argues, “Disney is like an innocent-looking ice cream truck driven by a child predator.”

As the writer notes, Disney has killed “its golden geese” with “the ruination of Star Wars and the slow-motion collapse of Marvel,” and DeSantis, who stripped the company of its special privileges in Florida, has won a decisive victory in the Sunshine State, signaling that the “people of Florida obviously approve of this action and the overall culture war DeSantis is fighting against child predators like the Walt Disney Co.”

And Nolte isn’t wasting any tears over the once-Magic Kingdom’s demise.

“No sympathy here,” he writes. “Any company that targets children for abuse deserves to be turned to ash.”

“Disney deserves to become ash,” Nolte states a second time, to ensure his point is made. “Disney was once one of the world’s greatest and most beloved brands. Now it’s a cesspool of drag queens and transsexuals aimed right at your child’s innocence.”
