Florida GOP on Thursday filed a complaint asking the state’s health department to take action after a Central Florida TV station denied a Republican congressional candidate entry to a TV studio and canceled a political debate over his vaccination status.

“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,” Florida GOP said in a statement.
