Florida gubernatorial candidate James Fishback says his plan to visit every Waffle House in Florida to “meet voters where they are” has been derailed.
That’s because he’s been banned, he said.
In a release posted to X on Thursday, March 5, Fishback shared a statement saying that “this morning, Waffle House abruptly revoked our permission, and criminally trespassed us from all of their Florida locations.”
Fishback, a Republican and one of 41 current candidates to replace outgoing Gov. Ron DeSantis, said he had previously received permission from Waffle House’s corporate office to visit every location in Florida to “meet voters where they are.”
Waffle House is GOAT?
I do love me some Waffle House, I’d be sad to be banned. My favorite thing to do at a Waffle House is to ask for pancakes, but that’s something you only do once. Sadly, I can’t afford to eat out anymore.
If you can’t afford Waffle House that’s some serious brokeness, I’m so sorry :(
Their prices are WAY higher than they used to be. I mean, so are just about everyone else’s, but theirs are insane now for, well, what you get. And what they used to be.
He’s only banned from running political crap. Pretty sure he could still go to a waffle house and enjoy breakfast at 2am
You know what? Go ahead and visit one. They know how to bounce a mf.
Waffle House is as conservative as it gets. Like Hobby Lobby and Chik Fil A. For them to be this based and deny him means he is really problematic.
Or they just don’t want political campaigning going on in their restaurants, and this chucklefuck is the only one who’s tried.
Ill throw shit at hobby lobby and hate chicken because they are national chains and their owners views are abhorent. However, im not familiar with the views of Waffle House’s owners, but their locations are almost entirely in the deep south. I dont expect anything worse than bog standard social ignorance from some of their owners and a policy to not wear politics in the office (thus this headline coming as a suprise), but please correct me if im wrong.
The memes about Waffle House along with a few other establishments are there because they never close, are in well traveled places and are desperation food. To quote someone else from the internet, “You dont go to a Denny’s, you end up at a Denny’s”
This may help with Florida voters…
If he gets elected he should get rid of the tip credit and forced purchase of shift meals for revenge
Did they ban him for his politics or because it’s politics?
Fishback is polling second to Republican frontrunner U.S. Rep. Byron Donalds, but only after voters were not allowed to pick First Lady Casey DeSantis, who is not currently running.
While I doubt she’d be any better, that’s just fucked up.
