The Republican National Committee (RNC) was promptly turned down after it attempted to procure floral arrangements from a liberal flower shop in Nashville, Tennessee. The business, FLWR, suggested that they did not want to provide service to the Republican party until it had changed its position on gun control.
However, the business did not stop there. They went on to encourage other businesses in the Nashville area to follow suit, refusing to take money or accept business from the Republican party until it changed course on gun control. Nashville was recently the site of a school shooting, where Audrey Hale, who identified as transgender, walked into Nashville Covenant Christian school, killing three 9-year-olds and three faculty members.
The Instagram post read: “Last week we received a request to provide floral design services for an RNC fundraising event planned to take place in our city in mid-April, featuring Donald Trump and other prominent members of the Republican party.”
“We immediately declined this ‘opportunity,’ and we want to take this moment to publicly clarify our stance as small business owners in Nashville, Tennessee.”
“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 social media post went on to condemn the Republican party, saying that the Nashville community “has just lost seven people, including three young children, to yet another school shooting.” They continued by suggesting that the RNC “has done” a significant amount in contributing to “this tragedy and so many others just like it.”
The company stated that the budget for the job was “large” and they would not usually turn down something like this, but went on to say that “the blood of the 3 beautiful babies we lost in Nashville is on that money.”
According to Fox News, the RNC fundraising event set for this weekend will feature speakers including former President Donald Trump, former Vice President Mike Pence, Senator Marsha Blackburn, and Georgia Governor Brian Kemp.
