I saw a clip yesterday of a police officer telling Trump supporters outside of a DeSantis book signing that DeSantis said anyone wearing Trump gear had to go. What was that about?

It was private property of the shopping center. They had to move to the sidewalk (public property).

Thanks! I saw the clip and asked questions too because unfortunately we only see the clip they want us to see - I wanted to see the follow up for clarity of what really happened.

That sort of manipulation happens all of the time so you are right to ask questions! Context and full disclosure are important!

Do I understand correctly that the book store barred entry based on the T shirt? IOW, those with the T shirts had to remain outside this public accommodation, denied fair and equal access to the "private company" acting as a public accommodation?

A church is exempt from public accommodation laws that bar discrimination. IOW, a church 𝒄𝒂𝒏 discriminate.
