on Disney
Ramaswamy criticized the handling of the Disney issue by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis:
| “ | I would have handled that situation a little bit differently. We need to be precise about what the real drivers are of corporate wokism. One of the underappreciated realities is that Disney’s largest shareholders are Blackrock, State Street and Vanguard. They are the three institutions that promote ESG environmental and social agendas and are the largest shareholders of most American companies. They set a tone that causes these companies to behave in politicized ways from their boardrooms on down. That’s a problem that needs to be fixed through the market. I don’t really believe in government, whether it’s on the left or right. You see this on the left, too, using the bully pulpit as a way to drive corporate change. I think the right way to drive corporate change is to do it through the root cause itself, and in this case, a lot of that is top-down driven by the ESG movement in capital markets and in corporate America’s boardrooms.[2] | ” |
