前州长候选人詹姆斯·费什巴克（共和党）表示，他在周六试图进入由联邦众议员安娜·保利娜·卢纳（共和党-佛罗里达州）在佛罗里达州克利尔沃特举办的“动员选民”集会时被拦截。据当地新闻电视台CBS 12报道，费什巴克说，他和妻子被告知他“不受欢迎”。
Former gubernatorial candidate James Fishback (R) said he was stopped from entering a Get Out the Vote rally in Clearwater, Fla. hosted by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) on Saturday. Fishback said him and wife were told that he was “not welcome here” when trying to enter the venue, local news station CBS 12 reported.
费什巴克据报表示：“我参加过唐纳德·特朗普、巴拉克·奥巴马、乔治·W·布什、伯尼·桑德斯的政治活动，从未遇到任何问题。拜伦·唐纳兹威胁要因我们参加一个向公众开放的政治活动而逮捕我们，这是可耻的。”
“I have attended political events featuring Donald Trump, Barack Obama, George W. Bush, Bernie Sanders, and I've never had any issues. It is disgraceful that Byron Donalds would threaten to arrest us for attending a political event open to the public,” Fishback said according to the report.
唐纳兹竞选团队负责传讯的盖茨·麦加维克在X上发帖称：“这是谎言。这根本不是拜伦的活动。他没有把任何人赶出去，更没有威胁任何人逮捕。”
Gates McGavick, who handles communications for Donalds' campaign, posted on X saying “this is a lie. It wasn’t even Byron’s event. He did not kick anyone out, much less threaten anyone with arrest.”
据CBS 12报道，该集会由卢纳主办，联邦众议员拜伦·唐纳兹（共和党-佛罗里达州）和联邦参议员阿什利·穆迪（共和党-佛罗里达州）被列为特别嘉宾。
The rally, hosted by Luna, listed Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.) and Sen. Ashley Moody (R-Fla.) as special guests, according to the CBS 12 report.
皮尼拉斯县治安官办公室告诉该电视台，卢纳的工作人员建议侦探费什巴克不受欢迎，但侦探并未威胁逮捕他。
The Pinellas County Sheriff's Office told the news station that Luna’s staff advised detectives that Fishback was not welcome, however detectives did not threaten him with arrest.
今年早些时候，费什巴克称他的竞选团队被佛罗里达州全境的Waffle House餐厅禁止进入，此前他在1月宣布计划走遍该州每一家Waffle House，通过“热咖啡和热华夫饼”与选民建立联系。
Earlier this year, Fishback said his campaign was banned from Waffle House restaurants across Florida, after he announced in January that he planned to visit every Waffle House in the state to connect with voters over “hot coffee and warm waffles.”
在州长初选中败给唐纳兹的费什巴克，此前曾因竞选途中涉嫌不当行为和种族主义言论受到批评。
Fishback, who lost his gubernational bid to Donalds, has previously been criticized for alleged inappropriate behavior and racist comments while on the campaign trail.
