ABC, which is owned by The Walt Disney Company, hosted the presidential debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former United States president Donald Trump. The event, which took place on September 10, is now prompting some to call for a boycott of Disney over an allegedly “unfair” presidential debate.
The debate, which was moderated by ABC hosts David Muir and Linsey Davis, covered a variety of topics between Trump and Harris. ABC’s hosting of the event was then broadcasted to a number of other networks and platforms.
This broadcast was targeted by FOX News personality Sean Hannity. He believed that their debate wouldn’t be fair unless there was “some kind of political miracle.” Furthermore, Hannity said that Muir, George Stephanopoulos who didn’t attend the debate, and even Jimmy Kimmel were evidence that “ABC-Disney is officially a woke, left-wing organization.”
This is also what he had to say about the alleged amount of people that would be upset if Donald Trump was not being treated fairly during the debate by ABC:
“Maybe Bob Iger and his left-wing heir apparent, maybe they don’t want half the country to attend their theme parks,” Hannity said. “Maybe they don’t care about their tanking stock price, which is their prerogative. They’re free to make that choice, but if they are biased against Donald Trump, as they have been leading into tomorrow night as their nightly newscast is, half the country is not going to like it one bit. They are not going to like ABC-Disney one bit either.”
Although a true boycott of Disney has yet to have happened, there are still plenty of responses regarding such a situation on social media. Here are some of the tweets that have surfaced on X:
If you’re happy with .@ABC, you should continue to watch ABC. If you’re not, you shouldn’t support $DIS (Walt Disney Co) in any way. No ABC, No ESPN, No Hulu. No Disney+. No Disney movies. Absolutely no trips to Disney parks. That’s the only way to hurt them.
