U.S. Sen. Rick Scott is speaking out about the President and his ability to serve after the debate against challenger Donald Trump.
During an appearance on the Guy Benson Show, Florida’s junior Senator aligned with most Republicans, saying Joe Biden “clearly doesn’t have the capacity to be the President of the United States.”
“I don’t think anybody watching that believes that Joe Biden has the capacity to function as the President. Not today, not tomorrow, not next Jan. 20,” Scott said. “So I think what every Democrat in the country needs to do is they need to say whether they believe that Joe Biden ought to be top of the ticket.”
Scott noted that his likely General Election opponent, Debbie Mucarsel-Powell, “won’t even talk about” whether Biden should get out of the race. (Indeed, she did not answer a question from Florida Politics on that topic last week.)
“They cannot talk about the incapacity. They cannot talk about the failure, they cannot talk about the policies of the Biden administration and Biden,” Scott alleged
He went on to say that Democrats who won’t respond to concerns about Biden’s debate performance believe that voters are a “bunch of idiots.”
“They believe they can lie to the American public. They can lie about inflation because it’s way worse than what they talk about. They can lie about the border. It’s way worse than people think. They can lie about their foreign policy. But the American public is smart. They can see right through this,” Scott argued.
“They know that the Democrats are lying about Joe Biden’s capacity to be the United States President. They know they’ve lied about his policies.”

Always a good idea for a politician to agree with the majority.

But the American public is smart. They can see right through this,” Scott argued.
Apparently, they are not that smart or Scott would be back ripping them off as CEO of his corrupt company. Elected him twice as Gov here and then Senate? Not overly bright in FloriDuh, bunch of idiots as he refers to voters.I’m with Mahr, even if Biden’s head is in a jar of blue liquid, he ain’t Trump!

Democrats and Independent voters will be voting for a head of broccoli if that is Trump’s opponent!

My Dooks the way politics works is we keep Sage Patriots in control for just long enough to build up revenues ….. then we vote in Dooks into power for just long enough to spend down the revenues.
Well my Dooks the time has come to build up revenues and your promise to vote Trump really makes me very happy.
Thanks Dooks,

It’s Biden’s call if he wants to stay or exit. No amount of empty talk from MAGAs or kvetching by Ds will alter that.

Rick Scott lacks capacity to be, well, anything of substance.
Funny how he is so sure other people are lying …

The corporatist news media outlets, their personalities and talking heads have been gaslighting the American people for a while now as to President Biden’s mental acuity and cognitive qualifications to serve as President. In other words, they’ve been purposely and knowingly lying to the American people. What else have they been lying to the American people about? Inflation, foreign affairs, the rule of law, etc.? They have lost all credibility on every issue forever. The Vice President and the Cabinet need to invoke the 25th Amendment forthwith. At least we Floridians can rely on our Governor to give it to us straight and honest, for he is not only the most principled conservative leader in a generation but the most effective Florida governor ever. It’s why he won re-election to a 2nd term in the greatest landslide in the history of modern Florida politics.
