Bob Iger is certainly happy this morning. The head of Disney was finally able to oust the right wing nutjob who brought Marvel to the company– and was then a big pain in his side.
Ike Perlmutter, 80, is finally excised from the company under the ruse of the new layoffs. Perlmutter is a huge Republican donor and a big backer of Florida’s evil governor Ron DeSantis.
I wrote about Perlmutter and the GOP a couple of years ago.
Since then, Perlmutter has lavished millions on DeSantis, even loaning him his private plane. Meanwhile, DeSantis has attacked Disney on every front, from his anti-LGBTQ stances to his efforts to strip the company of their tax breaks,
For some reason, the New York Times just ignored all this today in their report on Perlmutter’s exit.
For Marvel getting rid of Perlmutter is like taking out Thanos for good. But no one will ever forget him, unfortunately.
