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 Republican Party has wasted taxpayer money and precious legislative will on banning drag shows…”

For children, you stupid idiot. They are trying to protect innocent children from the grooming that could potentially turn them into a monster like Audrey Hale.

“”We have a lot of clients that are conservatives, and we respect their views and appreciate their business.””

What else are they going to say? It’s like any business owner looking at complaints about the company who says, “No one else has ever complained?” Take any occupation - teachers are expert at that...

Go back and see what the flower shop owner has to say after his business goes downhill - catch him when he’s putting up CLOSED FOR BUSINESS signs!

Talk about politicizing tragedy! And this idiot doesn’t even understand how hypocritical this position is. How does one even argue with this sort of obtuseness?

Attempt to re-express your target’s position so clearly, vividly and fairly that your target says: “Thanks, I wish I’d thought of putting it that way.”

List any points of agreement (especially if they are not matters of general or widespread agreement).

Mention anything you have learned from your target.

Only then are you permitted to say so much as a word of rebuttal or criticism.


engage, don’t let it pass. If nothing else you will get better at it.

Pro 26:4 Don’t answer the foolish arguments of fools, or you will become as foolish as they are.
Pro 26:5 Be sure to answer the foolish arguments of fools, or they will become wise in their own estimation.
