Florida’s junior Senator is wading into a controversial moment in American history, and is not ruling out that a presidential assassination in 1963 may have been an inside job, by way of commenting about last month’s attempted assassination of Donald J. Trump and a lack of meaningful information from the Secret Service about it.
Rick Scott said Saturday that he “just read a book last year called JFK (and the) Unspeakable,” which posited that Kennedy was killed amid what author James W. Douglas calls “struggle with his national security state,” which apparently opened that historical question for him.
“And if you read the book then the CIA killed John F. Kennedy. I don’t know if they did or didn’t,” Scott said at “The Gathering,” an event hosted by conservative talk show host and commentator Erick Erickson.
Scott’s failure to rule out that the CIA was possibly involved with the Kennedy assassination runs counter to the official narrative promulgated by the Warren Commission in the wake of Lee Harvey Oswald’s killing of the President in Dallas, Texas.
The book has been lauded by an interesting cross section of cultural commentators, including Oliver Stone, who called it “the best account I have read of this tragedy and its significance.”
Robert F. Kennedy said there is “overwhelming evidence that the CIA was involved in his murder … beyond a reasonable doubt.”

Why is the, It’s just a lone gunman theory, so difficult for people to accept or believe? Historically it’s happened many times. Even the Trump shooter- heck he looks 14 years old in the picture-was able to quite simply climb onto a building roof and take some shots.. not a grand conspiracy, just a screwed up teen with a gun. Maybe Rick’s Navy hat is not an effective enough barrier to keep out the alien brain signals..

Umm, w/r/t JFK, maybe start with the physical evidence.
Then move on to the video recorded statements of all of the ER physicians at Parkland Hospital pointing out the entry wound in the front of the head.
That’s just scratching the surface. Before we even get to “magic bullet” magical thinking, SCIENTIST.

And back to the reality in the Trump Campaign!
New York Times has confirmed from two sources that Trump refers to Kamala as ‘the bitch!’

All he has are childish insults and I think it’s becoming obvious that most people are done with it. Even if he figures that out, he’s still incapable of changing. Watching his campaign flounder reminds me of that old line from Hamlet, “hoist with his own petard”
Rick stinks

Vote Rick Scott out of the Senate! He’s going to have plenty of time to read and engage in his twisted fantasies after he leaves the Senate.

It is irresponsible pandering, though, for Scott to blather his half-informed opinion on a world historic event.
As a high elected official, either do the research and commit to following through or STFU.
The reality is that the JFK assassination was likely justified after events in Cuba. The administration was talking out of both sides of its mouth and trying to mop up its mistakes with a last ditch assassination plot against Castro (most of which has only recently been declassified in the past 10 years), but what had been done had been done. Unfortunately the immediate beneficiaries weakened America even further over the long term.

last ditch assassination plot against Castro (most of which has only recently been declassified
============
Castro once laughed that every time he went somewhere it was like safari season at the CIA.

Well; not too sure about the CIA; but nobody in their right mind believes that Lee Oswald pulled that off all by himself. Some questions will never be (or allowed to be) answered.
