![Rick Scott and Mitch McConnell](https://floridapolitics.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Rick-Scott.jpeg)
U.S. Sen. Rick Scott is panning Joe Biden as a “raving lunatic” in fresh comments on a presidential speech last week critical of Republicans.
Saying that Biden had “lost his audience,” Scott slammed the President as “incapacitated” and “incoherent” during a Wednesday interview with a friendly local outlet, thrashing the optics of Biden’s prime time address from Philadelphia six days prior.
“Next time, rather than having the armed Marines behind him, maybe he can have armed IRS agents,” Scott quipped. “That way he can sort of explain how he needs 87,000 new IRS agents to target all of his opponents.”
Scott referred back to his experience as Florida Governor, suggesting that Biden could learn some lessons about governing from his approach.
“I was Governor for eight years. You know, when you get elected, your job is to govern. The people in the Executive Branch are supposed to govern. Not play politics every day,” Scott lamented.
“Is he governing or is he politicking? The job is to govern,” Scott admonished, saying Biden’s “primary responsibility is to be the President, solve problems.”
“He can’t do that,” Scott maintained. “All he can do is attack people.”
Scott went on to reiterate his belief that Biden “looked like a raving lunatic,” saying that Biden’s polling was “horrible” in National Republican Senatorial Committee surveys.
“You don’t see any Democrat wanting to be seen with him. Unless he’s paying you, you don’t show up,” Scott charged.
Scott made the comments Wednesday on Panama City’s News Talk 101, the latest iteration in what has been an enduring back-and-forth between the Florida Senator and the Biden White House. Scott has said Biden is âobsessedâ with him and his policy proposals, and has called for Biden to resign or be removed via provisions in the 25th Amendment.
Biden, meanwhile, has painted Scott as the face of “ultra-MAGA” Republicanism for months. Polling from earlier this year points to why Biden is targeting Scott.
Another reason is that national polling has shown Scottâs proposals, and Scott himself, are not surveying well beyond the Republican base.
According to a relatively recent national survey of 2,005 registered voters from Morning Consult and POLITICO, Scott is underwater with virtually all demographics, except self-identified conservatives and Republicans.
Independent voters were notably sour on the Senator in the May poll. Just 12% of them approved of Scott, with 29% disapproving. Men particularly were opposed to Scott, with 36% of male independent voters regarding him unfavorably, a staggering -25 with the demographic.

It is Scott that is desperate, as a billionaire, ‘out of touch’ with the reality that Seniors are impacted globally by, inflation, proposing to reduce and eliminate Social Security and Medicare, the ONLY lifeline for many Florida seniors, and still as quiet as a church mouse on his parties alliance with the ‘Oath Keepers’, ‘Probud Boys’, and the denial his cult leader he aspires, led the attacks on the Capitol with the intent to kill a sitting Vice President. You can’t be a cult member, and state, the other political party and it’s President are problems!

So are you calling Scott a billionaire as a pejorative? Has the Left really become that desperate? It was bad enough when they started distorting the meanings of words to push their false agenda, but this may top the cake.
Buy then again I’m replying to a fake profile. Which shows just hoe desperate the Leftists truly are.

I believe Scott’s assessment of Biden a “raving lunatic” is correct.
The disgraced FBI agent who buried Hunter Biden’s laptop has been exposed and it is over for Hunter and Joe. Biden has been on a tyrannical rage coupled with his incapacitated state of mind. Biden will bring himself down and all the Democratic Party candidates with him.

So you would justify the slaughter of thousands of children and seniors in Ukraine, while you and your cult hold on to the lie about Hunter’s laptop? Your cult President DENIED weapons to Ukraine to fight Putin, and may I remind you your Cult President said numerous times, ‘Putin is a good, smart man’. Your cult leader denied weapons to fight Communist Russia, but BIDEN and the allies of other Nation’s he was able to gain back are fighting Communism, unlike Sen’ Scott fighting Communism with a pen and press releases!

Why did Putin begin his buildup after Trump left office? Looks to me like he respected Trump and like every other world leader, doesnât respect or fear Biden.He invaded Ukraine after Trump was looooooooong gone. Now spin that one.
Joe Corsin
September 7, 2022 at 10:11 am
@Impeach: Putin knows the Trumpian GOP is a threat to the nation. If anything he would invade to try and make the Dems look bad somehow. But in reality, the timing of the invasion has little to do with American politics. This is just some poop you are making up as usual.

Trump prevented the war between Russia and the Ukraine.
Decisions starting from Clinton, Obama, and Biden led to the war between Ukraine and Russia. It is on Biden’s watch and no amount of spin will be able to change that. Biden is responsible for the war in the Ukraine.
Do not forget Hunter taking money from the former mayor’s wife in Moscow, then having dealings in the Ukraine. I see treason charges in the future for the Bidens.

Biden is distinguishing mainstream Republicans from the MAGA cult that threatens American democracy
In a break from past midterm voting patterns, persuadable voters are favoring the party in power this year, benefiting Democrat candidates
A judgeâs ruling to appoint a special master to review the governmentâs classified documents that Trump took home will likely delay, but wonât prevent the former president from being held accountable
Trump is doubling down on crazy as he amplifies QAon conspiracies about the FBI attacking the U.S. Capitol on January 6 and other outlandish claims
During the FBIâs August search of Mar-a-Lago, hundreds of highly sensitive secret documents were recovered along with more than 11,000 official records Trump wasnât entitled to keep

Because the childish political President did not give them the support and weapons they needed, Putin knew he could rely on his ally, the Cult President. He left the State Department empty, Biden filled vacancies and successfully negotiated the return of a captured Marine in Russia, Biden removed number 2 terrorist because YOUR Cult President couldn’t pronounce his name or didn’t recognize the name! Biden eliminated threats, the Cult President let them live and seeded their growth in the USA!
Impeach Biden
September 7, 2022 at 10:02 am
Your timeline is screwed up. Again, there was no invasion of Ukraine while the âcultistâ was President. This all took place after the âcultistâ left office. This is squarely on Bidenâs hands. Now letâs go back to when Trump first took office. Who was the VP then when it seemed like the terrorists were beheading people every day for the nightly news. Who was that guy? Now when Trump entered office remember when he dropped that MOAB in Afghanistan signaling that there was a ânew sheriff in townâ, not some weak ass like the previous administration. Trump had many bad guys removed during his time as President.

What’s going on?
Tom
September 7, 2022 at 11:11 pm
The House is fluid.
60 was more like 1994, or 2010.
Bidenâs approval opens the door for that type. Redistricting only places 40 plus seats or so in play. The House will flip. 15 to 30 seats is highly doable. It could be some more. Dems, Corp Media not pinning Biden yet on house and senate. Repub. have to. House net gain can be 30 plus. They netted 15, 2 yrs ago.
Senate is tight, GOP could go up 2 or 3, or Dems 3 or 4.
Walker will likely win GA. Oz wins PA. Laxalt wins Nevada. Vance wins Ohio. Rubio plus 5 Fl. Surprise race New Hampshire, Dem Hassan is in the worst shape. Kelly is ripe defeat in AZ. Border is awful in AZ. Colorado is really tight. We will see.

You obviously do not remember history nor are you interested in researching the subject. So your boy Biden removed a single terrorist. Good for him and Iâm glad he is gone. In comparison that single MOAB strike killed over 36 bad guys and destroyed their underground complex. There were no daily beheadings of westernerâs while Trump was President. Under the Obama / Biden administration it was nightly news.

Iâm glad Biden had that terrorist removed. Remember under the Obama / Biden administration beheadings of westernerâs by the terrorists was what seemed a daily event. Trump had to set a standard that no more of this BS would be tolerated and it wasnât while he was President.
