33. Put the blame where it belongs: on the Republican side of the aisle in the Senate.

I don't think the governor of Vermont had anything to do with the Senate confirming Trump's cabinet picks, lol. Furthermore, Vermont's 2 senators are a Democrat and Independent who caucuses with the Dems (Peter Welch and Bernie Sanders), so Vermont isn't to blame there, either.

As for all the Republican Senators who helped confirm those ass clowns, shame, shame, shame on them. But what they did was not in any way Gov. Scott's fault, and I for one really appreciate his speaking out.
