The top GOP donor this election cycle, with some $40 million in political contributions, Griffin has also been a big backer of Florida governor Ron DeSantis. “He’s done a lot of things right,” Griffin opined on Monday.

That includes the much-debated “Don’t Say Gay” bill, signed into law by DeSantis in March, that bans schools from instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity for kindergarteners through third graders. It’s “mind blowing that this is an item of debate,” Griffin said of the law, which critics have said will harm the LGBTQ community.

“I actually think this is a really important point of view that [DeSantis] has,” Griffin said. “I happen to agree with it.”

What he doesn’t agree with: DeSantis’ spat with Disney, which vowed to fight to repeal the law. Last month DeSantis signed a bill to strip Disney World of its status as an “independent special district.” “I don’t appreciate Governor DeSantis going after Disney’s tax status,” Griffin said. “It can be portrayed, or feel, or look like retaliation.”

The billionaire investor and political kingmaker issued a clear warning: “It’s important that the leaders in both parties stay above the fray when it comes to retaliation against corporate America.”
