It loses its "private" property status when the Governor elects to use that land as a platform upon which he conducts the PUBLIC's business, BriPat.
Its a nice legalistic rationalization to hold a PUBLIC press conferences on private land so you can eliminate the public you don't want there.
But its unethical and an affront to the concept of this democratic republic to play that game.
You must be joking. So if the government attends the Republican convention for Florida, does that mean Democrats have to be admitted? Public property is public property, and private property is private property, regardless of who is using it or for what purpose. According to your theory, the governor's personal residence is now public property.
Don't be frikken absurd.
He shouldn't have advertised the event as "open to the public," but that's the only error he made. He violated no laws or committed any unethical acts.
This is purely a trumped up fuax scandal, as are most media attacks on Republicans.
The Republican convention is not doing the public's business, fool.
