Summary
A MAGA Republican candidate for Florida governor claimed on Wednesday that he had been "criminally trespassed" by Waffle House after a series of campaign stops. James Fishback, a MAGA firebrand who is running for governor, posted a statement on X that claimed Waffle House had revoked his campaign's "explicit" permission to visit their restaurants and meet voters. Fishback also claimed that Waffle House corporate had "criminally trespassed" him from all of their restaurants in Florida. The statement was posted a few hours after Fishback shared another post featuring photos of himself in large crowds gathered outside Waffle House locations. "In January, I announced on The Tucker Carlson Show that I would visit every Waffle House in Florida and meet voters where they are," Fishback wrote in his statement. "I was grateful that Waffle House Corporate gave us explicit permission to do so. This morning, Waffle House abruptly revoked our permission and criminally trespassed us from all of their Florida locations.""Waffle House can revoke our permission, but they can't stop our motion," he added. Raw Story reached out to Waffle House for comment but did not immediately receive a reply. Fishback also announced that he is launching a "no-cost pop-up" restaurant to continue the Waffle House-style meetings.
