Rick Scott aka skeletor

It took Biden 2.5 years to wipe the stain of the trump presidency from our economy. What a dickweed.

"Rick Scott: "When Trump left office in the beginning of '21, we had a great economy. The Biden administration and Democrats ruined it."

4. How is he even relevant? A man who stole millions from Medicare and got away with it to become a senator.

He co-founded a medical corporation..it became the largest for profit health care company. He was chief executive when he resigned for defrauding Medicare, Medicaid and other federal programs. The DOJ won 14 felony convictions against the company and was fined. He pleaded the 5th 75 times but eventually his company paid 600+ million dollars fine. Then, off to politics!

He was indicted for defrauding Medicare TWICE. The second time, he bought the governor’s seat and that charge vaporized. (He actually finagled TWO terms as gov in the same way.)

He also started a lab service under his wife’s name, then made it a rule that people needing public assistance would have to pass drug tests to qualify and keep their benefits—requiring they use *his* labs to meet this criteria.

Just the tip of the iceberg with this human excrement. Pisses me off no end how the right-wing vermin have taken over FL since Lawton Chiles retired/died. DeSantis, Rubio, Gaetz, and then the orange shitgibbon moved here (no state income taxes here so the Repukes flock here).

*insert vomit emoji here*

Because the economy was so good.

This guy is a career criminal same as Trump. Red state voters are complete suckers and their representatives are asshats.
