The name of your newspaper is 'The Tallahassee DEMOCRAT' for godsakes. Of course you wouldn't be invited. WTF were you thinking?
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis gathered state Republicans for a conference and the liberal press was "crying" about not being invited, according to his spokeswoman.
The Republican Party of Florida's Sunshine Summit was held over the weekend, featuring a "Victory Dinner" headlined by DeSantis on Saturday. In an article that was updated throughout the weekend but originally published on Thursday, the Tallahassee Democrat complained, "[DeSantis's] party is prohibiting many reporters from covering its big election-year gathering in Hollywood," Florida.
The outlet noted that while this event had "traditionally has been open to the media," this year "many media outlets were not allowed into the event."
DeSantis spokeswoman Christina Pushaw poked fun at outrage over the event strategically deciding its guests.
She tweeted, "It has come to my attention that some liberal media activists are mad because they aren't allowed into #SunshineSummit this weekend. My message to them is to try crying about it. Then go to kickboxing and have a margarita. And write the same hit piece you were gonna write anyway."
