Florist declines to service Republican National Committee event: 'The blood of the 3 beautiful babies we lost in Nashville is on that money'

A Nashville flower business announced that it refused to service a Republican National Committee event, claiming that there is blood on the RNC's money and urging other companies to decline to do business with the GOP until it starts changing gun laws.

In a statement posted on social media, FLWR Shop described the event as an "RNC fundraising event" that would feature former President Donald Trump and other prominent Republicans. "We would like to challenge others in the Nashville event industry to say no to taking money or jobs from the Republican party until they begin to make the changes to gun laws that most Americans are calling for," the statement declares.

The event being referenced appears to be the RNC Donor Retreat in Nashville, for which special guests listed include Trump, former Vice President Mike Pence, governors, lawmakers, and others.

"We have a lot of clients that are conservatives, and we respect their views and appreciate their business. We feel like there is room in America for liberals, conservatives, and everyone in between," the business wrote in response to the request for service. "Unfortunately, this event and some of the speakers listed are beyond our comfort level.

"Our community has just lost seven people, including three young children, to yet another school shooting. At this moment I cannot ignore the work that the RNC has done to create this tragedy and so many others just like it," the message reads. "The Republican Party has wasted taxpayer money and precious legislative will on banning drag shows, rather than rifles that are being used to murder children in their classrooms."

The issue at hand is more delicate down here given what happened for one thing and they are accusing us of cupability. The bakers simply refuse to endorse queer so called marriage. There are some distinctions between the two. They could have simply said we don’t wish to support the RNC. Hell I don’t like republicans either

But I do like Trump

Order flowers for a pro-abortion event and see how much they really care about “babies”.

""Our community has just lost seven people."

Counting the murderer as a victim, I see.

[[We feel like there is room in America for liberals, conservatives, and everyone in between,”]]

Complete bs- they do not think there is room for any opposing views. They also are lashing out at the wrong party for lax school security- thye know darn well what must happen to harden schools, but they refuse because they are wedded to their asinine and ignorant “gun free” zones that are causing young people to die needlessly!

The florist can take a flying leap- our side doesn’t need to support such willful ignorance and ignorant bias

I thought the tranny only killed six Christians. Was there a seventh?

The tranny killer?

The other obvious question to ask here is how would have more gun control stopped this and other recent tragedies?

There is no question to ask because leftists refuse to hear the answer. They don't even care about the answer. They have a completely different agenda. "More gun control" is always about disarming the law-abiding population - except for members of their protected classes.

While the leftists promote a "Transgender Day of Vengeance", one of their newly privileged classes cooks off early and kills 6 Christians, including 3 children.

And then they tell us it is our fault, and we must disarm.

The answer is No.

“””A Nashville flower business announced that it refused to service a Republican National Committee event”””


No indications in the story that the FLORIST WAS ASKED!!!!!

How is this any different then a baker refusing to make a gay pride cake because it contrasts with his beliefs?

The baker's services were actually requested. The florist was not asked to provide anything.

For those with common sense it’s not. But being a Leftie trumps everything.

The person decided to go murder children as a result of a poisonous indoctrination supplied by "Progressives", that she was a victim of oppression and should strike down people that she hated.

Of course, she hated everybody, including herself. A perfect candidate for transformation into a windup berserker toy. Leftists assisted that transformation. Intentionally.

Unprotected children at a Christian school were the easiest targets for her. And they fit the demonically inspired picture of whom she should identify as her oppressors.

Leftists own this. Leftists celebrate this.

An appropriate response is long overdue. I am sorry that words on an internet forum are inadequate.

“I no longer wish to share a country with these types of leftist freaks.”

Likely this florist would be the first to insist a baker can’t refuse to bake a gay wedding cake.

Regardless, why is the RNC spending any money on flowers for this political event. The flowers won’t deliver one more vote. If they want to win elections they should be spending money getting a ballot harvesting operation up and running.
