BACKFIRED: Utah Republicans ban guns from keynote speech of gun-happy FL governor
Just days after cravenly visiting gun shops in the wake of the Nashville shootings and a day after cowardly, surreptitiously signing a permitless carry bill surrounded by NRA buddies, lackeys, and children (talk about GROOMING), we learn that Florida’s increasingly dangerous Governor Ron DeSantis is heading to Utah to give a keynote speech at the state’s Republican Party convention where–get this–NO GUNS ARE ALLOWED!
What fresh hell is this hideous hypocrisy, you ask?
The Republican Party and their quickly fading Plan B, that’s what.
So yes, you can carry a firearm without a permit into your neighborhood January 6-funding Publix to pick tomatoes, but if you’re planning to head into DeSantis’s likely dystopian speech of disillusion and delusion about his fascist “Florida Blueprint,” well, lock those guns up in your pickups, peeps.
Utah GOP Chairman Carson Jorgensen told the Salt Lake Tribune Monday that “magnetometers would be in use at the Utah Valley University’s UCCU Center for the April 22 convention as part of enhanced security for DeSantis’ appearance.”
“In the current political climate, we felt the need to be thorough in our security for this event,” Jorgensen told the paper.
WHA-WHA-WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?
THIS DESERVES ALL CAPS AND NOT IN A TRUMP WAY: NO GUNS ALLOWED AT UTAH @GOP CONVENTION BECAUSE OF RON DESANTIS'S KEYNOTE APPEARANCE. Got that straight? Guns are allowed all over Florida, but nowhere near that pussy ass bitch in high heels. #GunshineState https://t.co/kGLFl3wyf8

Oh wait, we’re not surprised.
Are drag queens banned too, because we know how dangerous they can be if their weaves fly off?
Or maybe a Toni Morrison book, ‘coz G-d forbid you bring racism into a room of fragile white Christians?
Speaking of fragile white Christians, the cowardly Christo-fascist governor in shiny white go-go boots with lifts also prohibited guns from his inaugural events, too.
Even more cowardly than that, Manatee Mussolini not only banned the guns, but then wanted to put the blame on Tampa, the city hosting the event, and not on him directly.
But shoot ’em up on I-95 in a rando road rage incident or bring ’em to your kid’s soccer game and display them proudly–especially when taunting the 12-year-old goalie on your child’s team who fails to block the winning goal.
Not such a big shot after all, huh Ron?
Welcome to the Gunshine State! Come for the massive, toxic seaweed blobs and book bans and stay for the snipers–at your own risk, of course, never the governor’s.
