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.

        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
