Hypocrisy is the bedrock of conservatism.

I agree. For those who don’t want to take the time to read the letter, I’ve provided a less diplomatic synopsis below:
" In general we take the consider input from states regarding our class proposals seriously, but your letter was utter bullshit, not even fit to use to line the bird cage in our offices.

We aren’t going to be bullied and if you don’t like it you can fuck off."
Hypocrisy and cowardice all in the same package. How efficient of him!

The Republican governor’s campaign wanted weapons banned from his victory celebration at the city-run Tampa Convention Center, a city official said in emails obtained by The Washington Post. And the campaign suggested that the city take responsibility for the firearms ban, the official said – not the governor, who has been a vocal supporter of gun rights.
“DeSantis/his campaign will not tell their attendees they are not permitted to carry because of the political optics,” Chase Finch, the convention center’s safety and security manager, said in an Oct. 28 email to other city officials about the request…
