Bill Maher referenced a Salon article on Friday's episode of "Real Time With Bill Maher" as part of a segment in which Maher discusses Ted Cruz and Ron DeSantis' building concerns over a "sexy Disney."
"...DeSantis today, he looks like he stepped in it here, and not in a good way, with getting in the middle of Disney," Maher said. "He was kinda coming in on the Ted Cruz opinion. Ted Cruz said, and I think we have a headline here, 'Mickey and Pluto going at it.' ... "And DeSantis today said 'you know, when we were kids we didn't have to worry what was in cartoons.' I thought, these guys are crazy, and then I look at some of the movies that Disney has coming out. They may be on to something with this grooming and highly sexualized content," Mahers jokes, readying a list of facetious examples.
