denied letter of reccomendation?

I interned for a Governor candidate for my state, and everything went great I was attending events and everything until they wanted me to start door knocking, I love speaking to people and had no problem with this, the issue tho was when my director was getting me set up with the app there was issues with the app, I was brought along to door knock with another director, and after that day I tried with their help to get the issue fixed. I spent about a month trying to get the app fixed, contacted multiple people, and did my due diligence.

After a month of trying I decided to just ask for my letter of reccomendation, (the Governor promised all volunteers letters of reccomendation) and the director gave me a number in which I got in contact with, and they told me that they campaign had approved and would do my letter of reccomendation, she then passed me onto another number and told me to get in contact with them. I’ve spent two months trying to get in contact with nothing from his end, and she tried to help me enthusiastically.

Fast forward to today, I get a call from him saying that the letter of reccomendation was denied, he was very short tempered and annoyed, I simply asked what the reason was and if I could appeal the decision, and he got upset with me and irate saying that he denied it and I was bothering him and the woman and that she didn’t even work for the campaign. (keep in mind I was given her number by my director and she never mentioned saying she wasn’t apart of the campaign) I apologized to him and tried to remain professional, I told him that I was told by her that the campaign approved and would do the letter, to which he bluntly said no and called me a liar, and when I mentioned I got her number from my director he also said I didn’t. He told me to stop contacting him as I was annoying him.

The candidate is probably going to win Governor as he is already the GOP candidate. I’ve spent months trying to get everything in order just to get shot down in 20 seconds. Is there anything yall reccomend I should do?
