FCC’s Brendan Carr on Disney Investigation: There’s Reports That Suggest That Their Leadership Went in on ‘Invidious Forms’ of DEI Discrimination

TRANSCRIPT:

CARR: “Well, Disney has been embroiled in controversies for years now related to their DEI policies. There’s reporting that suggests that Disney’s leadership went all in on what could end up being invidious forms of DEI discrimination. We launched this investigation into Disney’s DEI practices all the way back in March of 2025. We’ve gone through rounds of our versions of subpoenas with them, getting documents from them, and the evidence is starting to fall into a couple buckets. One, you know, have they been discriminating in the hiring of people based on race, gender, protected characteristics, compensation, promotion, workplace activities? Disney has its view, Disney has its evidence, and we haven’t made a final decision. But there is evidence coming in that points to some of those buckets.”
