Fox’s Laura Ingraham targets Disney and Apple, telling companies boycotting ‘Don’t Say Gay’ law to ‘stay in your lane’

• Fox’s Laura Ingraham told Disney and Apple to “stay in your lane” regarding LGBTQ+ legislation.
• Ingraham also said the Justice Department needs to consider which companies “need to be broken up.”
• Her comments come after Florida enacted a law that has been deemed the “Don’t Say Gay” bill by activists.

Fox News host Laura Ingraham told corporations like Disney and Apple to “stay in your lane” regarding recent anti-LGBTQ+ legislation. 

In her segment on Friday, Ingraham accused Disney of “mischaracterizing the laws that they spend millions of dollars lobbying against as anti-LGBTQ when in reality, these laws are aimed at protecting kids and women.” 

Her comments come after Florida enacted a law that has been dubbed the “Don’t Say Gay” bill by LGBTQ activists and Democrats. The legislation, officially called the Parental Rights in Education bill, limits what instructors can say to children about gender identity and sexual orientation. 

“These businesses should really learn this lesson now before it’s too late: Stay in your lane,” Ingraham said. “Because if your CEOs want to dive into contentious political issues, about which they know nothing apparently, expect to be treated like any lame political pundit, on, let’s say, MSNBC.”

Ingraham also blasted Apple, which, according to POLITICO, has spent extensive resources lobbying against anti-LGBTQ legislation nationwide. At the outset of her segment, Ingraham referred to the two companies as “the mouse and the apple versus America.”

“When Republicans get back into power, Apple and Disney need to understand one thing: Everything will be on the table – your copyright and trademark protection, your special status within certain states, and even your corporate structure itself,” Ingraham said.

She added: “The antitrust division at (the Department of) Justice needs to begin the process of considering which American companies need to be broken up once and for all for competition’s sake, and ultimately for the good of the consumers who pay the bills.”

The Fox host also lambasted companies who issued support for the Black Lives Matter movement in 2020, accusing them of “kowtowing to one set of political activists at the expense of common sense and fair play.”
