Florida Dem and gubernatorial hopeful Nikki Fried came under fire earlier today after she refused to sign a pledge to ban “assault weapons”:
Florida, is your candidate for Governor committed to preventing mass shootings? Visit to view the assault weapon ban pledges signed by @CharlieCrist & @Annette_Taddeo. FYI, @NikkiFried & @RonDeSantisFL refused to sign the pledge. Here’s our press release: pic.twitter.com/UC42yLOxr6

Here’s what Fried refused to sign, from the group Ban Assault Weapons Now:
By signing below, I hereby pledge and affirm that if elected Governor of Florida, I
will prioritize banning the sale and transfer of assault weapons and large capacity
magazines by encouraging Florida!s legislators to approve the bill and I will sign
the legislation into law.
And Fried was called out by a few Florida Dems because of it:
Wow, as if I needed another reason not to support Nikki Fried in the primary. This is shameful.

Fried — initially — defended not signing the pledge with a definitive, “I don’t sign pledges”:
I don’t sign pledges https://t.co/MBDgbAFqbZ
— Nikki Fried (@NikkiFried) May 27, 2022
She even repeated herself!
I just don’t sign pledges https://t.co/MBDgbAFqbZ

Now, check out how long her principles lasted. . .
“I don’t care sign the damn pledge,” tweeted anti-gun activist David Hogg:
I don’t care sign the damn pledge

When David Hogg says, “JUMP!,” Nikki Fried asks, “HOW HIGH?”:
Signed.
Judge me also by my actions. Nothing I won’t do to protect students and end mass shootings. pic.twitter.com/7Xh7V5U9kp

Maybe David will run as her Lieutenant Governor?
🙏 thank you
