Florida Politics reports:
Congressional candidate Scotty Moore filed a complaint with the state against a news station that turned him away from a debate. Moore filed the complaint against WESH 2 Orlando with the Attorney General’s Office, asserting the news station violated a law forbidding vaccine passports when it said Moore could not participate in a debate hosted by the station because he has not been vaccinated against COVID-19.
The Orlando Republican was to debate Democratic U.S. Rep. Darren Soto on Sept. 8. Moore said the Republican Party of Florida supports his complaint. “I applaud the leadership of Chairman Joe Gruters and the Republican Party of Florida for joining me in this fight and standing up to corporate tyranny,” Moore said. WESH-TV released a statement after the debate cancellation saying candidates knew about vaccination requirements in advance of the debate.

Families are under attack from the radical left. The indoctrination of our kids in school and parents being labeled domestic terrorists are just a few examples. We must rise up and flip District 9 from blue to RED and VOTE in strong family values.https://t.co/N4ICyEAvZx pic.twitter.com/MXh25KyBpj

The decision by WESH-2 News to cancel the Congressional District 9 debate because of a candidate’s vaccination status is discriminatory, unlawful and will not be ignored. Today we filed a complaint with @HealthyFla regarding their actions. https://t.co/ekfIA1oQ2p

Fauci, the CDC, and the NIH among MANY others will be held accountable for what they did to the freedoms of the American people. The clock is ticking and their panic is showing. Once we take back the House and fire Nancy Pelosi we will Save America ??!https://t.co/DM5EUlcmHf

Look at BEAUTIFUL Mar-a-Lago! I hope to one day be inside Mar-a-Lago, receiving President Trump’s endorsement so I can fight beside him for an America First agenda. We must elect strong America First candidates who will stand behind President Trump and DRAIN THE SWAMP. pic.twitter.com/kNUjB5dDHB
