IHOP denies inviting Florida GOP candidate who said ‘Americans shouldn’t die for Israel’

JL;DR SUMMARY James Fishback, a right-wing GOP candidate in Florida, has claimed IHOP invited him to campaign at their restaurants after Waffle House allegedly banned him for comments against supporting Israel militarily. A way out west there was a fella, fella I want to tell you about, fella by the name of Jeff Lebowski. At least, that was the handle his lovin' parents gave him, but he never had much use for it himself. This Lebowski, he called himself the Dude. Now, Dude, that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from. But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me. And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.
