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!

Yes Peter H, the Demo zombies would vote for a head of broccoli. You might get a few Indy’s but you won’t get all of them. Your party has got themselves in a pickle and the entertainment value right now is off the charts. Be careful what y’all do with Kamala, your party could be labeled racist.🤣

The Republicans ran Reagan a second time when he was the cerebral equivalent of a sack of potatoes. Biden should quit, but, having voted for Trump back in 2016, he will never get my vote again.
Big tax cut for the rich, blew up the deficit, tried and failed to take health insurance away from poor and middle class, half his administration ended up in prison, his sec of commerce slept thru cabinet meetings, he fired anybody decent, and his sec of state called him a “f-ing” moron. So I’ll vote for the vegetable if I have to, and you vote for the scumbag conman. And there’ll be nothing racist if we switched out for Corey Booker.

Let’s face it neither one of these jokers is exactly mensa material. At this point it’s Rip Van Winkle vs Pinocchio. Trump can’t even get on the stand to give his name because his lawyers don’t trust him not to lie about that. The sad part is that we expect this from Trump now. The bar is so low you could trip over it. Joe “Weekend at Bernie’s” Biden should be replaced by Bernie Sanders after he got screwed over last time.

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.

Sad but true. We’re stuck with the arrogant old bastard now. He needs to sit quietly, watch his performance from last week and ask, am I really the face that America wants to project to the world? I guess Democracy will have to suffer because of his arrogance … as he shuffles off to the nursing home.

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.

Suzy Q speaks the truth. You can’t handle the truth. What is the carbon footprint of all those torches you gaslighters are carrying around?

Desantis is “the most principled conservative leader in a generation,” you say. I say you need to take it easy with the ‘shrooms and LSD cocktails. You are howling at the moon and thinking it hears you.

Whoa, now! DJT claims the disgraced Navy doctor and now MAGA congress member Ronny Jackson gave him two or three intelligence tests — executive length, of course — and Trump aced them. So, we have definitive proof of Trump’s genius — but the public hasn’t been shown the test results.

Just look at Rick Scott’s picture above. That smile. Like he has an axe in his hands while he pokes his head through the hole in the door and says “Here’s Ricky!”
Scary human.

Rick Scott lacks the morality to be a senator, but here we are. Vote him out.

Morality is not high on the list for republican job qualifications. Just look at that juvenile reprobate Matt Gaetz

Voting blue all the way down the ballot from now on. If its Biden, fine, if someone instead of Biden also fine just no Republican from now on. I have never voted party over candidate or country until now but the GOP is attempting to destroy our constitution. SC decision just proved that. As far as Scott’s opinion goes, he is so corrupt and sleazy I can’t believe he is still around but then again there’s DeSantis in his second term screwing up the state like no one before him.

And Trump lacks the intelligence and morals to be president. But that’s not high on your list is it Rick?
