Rick Scott claims Kamala Harris uses Jewish husband as ‘cover’ for courting ‘radical antisemites’
Rick Scott is angling for a promotion.

'The most radical ticket in my lifetime of Harris and Walz have a history of embracing well-known antisemites.'

Florida’s junior Senator isn’t holding back when it comes to his latest criticisms of Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee for President.

In remarks to the Republican Jewish Coalition, Rick Scott said Harris “thinks because her husband is Jewish it somehow gives her cover as she appeals to the radical antisemites in her party…the same people who told her not to pick a Jewish Governor to be her running mate.”

Scott is referring to Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff and Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, respectively.

Shapiro does not claim his ultimate non-selection by the Harris campaign evidenced antisemitism, saying this week he was “honored and humbled” to be considered, and that Tim Walz was an “outstanding pick” for Harris’ running mate.

Scott further denounced the Harris-Walz ticket in his remarks.

“The most radical ticket in my lifetime of Harris and Walz have a history of embracing well-known antisemites, awarding tax dollars to groups associated with terror sympathizers and completely abandoning Israel when they need America’s support the most,” the Senator claimed.

Scott also blamed the Joe Biden administration for the death of hostages this week.

“If Biden would not have impeded Israel’s advance, these innocent people might still be alive today,” he said, referring to the deaths of Hersh Goldberg-Polin and five others.

            Low self esteem? You are really reaching now hillbilly and I can confirm once again that you have no clue whatsoever. Now I’m not a sensitive metrosexual type so your words don’t hurt one bit. 🤣

            MAGA MARK, it’s not the sensitive metrosexual types you refer to that are the low self-esteem group, it’s the maga rednecks that are the low self-esteem group. you have it all backwards as usual. don’t you learn ANYTHING on fox, you must not. fox is specifically designed to speak to the low self-esteem crowd, sometimes called the low information group, same people.

    Republican Jews, do you know what these guys say about you when you’re not in the room? The same things they say about Blacks, Hispanics, Women. They seem to let Catholic white males into the club because they know they’re outnumbered and their thinking is outdated.

    When Nazis were pulling stunts in Orlando, Jax and Tampa, Ricky and Ron were awful quiet. You know, “stand back but stand by.”

      Take a room full of blacks, Hispanics, Asians, etc. etc. Have a white person enter, maybe to make a business proposal. Guarantee when that person leaves someone will have something saucy to say. All of this unconscious bias training will s BS.

    Do. Trump have a day job as a serial criminal, Trump is the kind of person that would burglarize a Republican house and he would convince them he did not do it

    Hmmm wonder what religion Scott practices? That’s right, who knows who cares. Just when you think Navy boy has sunk as low as you can go, he slips a few more rungs down the ladder. Not that I partake of the opiate religion, but his comments certainly don’t follow Christian values..

      SCIENCE BLVR, to me scott is being very christian in his stance. white christian nationalism seems rampant in north florida and south florida. i don’t live there anymore, but what i hear and see in the media says florida is pretty far out there on that WCN limb.

        South Florida white Christian nationalism? Hilarious. You obviously have never spent a day in south Florida. Thanks for the
        Laugh. By the way you live smack in the middle of white Christian folks.

          i used to live in ft. lauderdale, is that not southern enough for you, or do i have to live in key west? listen you fool, you live in florida now, so you don’t know where you shit last. florida, ALL or it is bad. i live in a place full of your type, that’s why i know you so well. low self-esteem big time.

            Ft. Lauderdale? I should have figured. Where? Century Village, Sunrise Lakes, Kings Point? Or maybe you sold the Davie double wide and now have one in Tennessee. I really don’t have time to play with you Rick as I am out of town at a family function. You crack me up with this esteem thing. Just like I laugh at you when you stole the term Howler Monkey from me in this board. With regards to self esteem, again you have no clue as you do not know me or what I have done in the past and now. You just try and stick that term with no knowledge at all. Oh maybe your tarot card reader told you that. Anyway you old senile fool and borderline idiot. Have fun playing with yourself as I will be busy for a few days. Alexa says you’re a moron as well. Libs wrote the code, remember ? 🤣

            Ft Lauderdale.

            Once was pretty nice place to live. 50s-60s.
            Didn’t lock our doors until last person was in and headed to bed at night.
            Our milkman would come in and put the milk in our refrigerator if no one was at home.

      Scott is an embarrassment to the Navy. As a USN veteran, I took an oath to defend the Constitution of the United States. Scott pisses on it every time he defends the traitorous DJT. He needs to be decommissioned and mothballed on his yacht.

    Rick Scott is rapidly losing his mind with idiotic pronouncements designed to confuse voters. How can he function with a mind that is disintegrating before our eyes? He makes no sense, whatever. Anti-semitism on the art of Harris and her husband who happens to be a Jew? Goodness gracious! The logic defies Reason.

    Perhaps, he has been drinking too much of what they serve at Mar-a-Lago.

    Alien Rick, bald cheerleader for Genocide and for that rapist, pathological liar, felon, grifter, who poops his pants and tried to prevent the peaceful transfer of power by inciting a mob to attack our Congress. Maybe Felon Don Shartincourt will give you his bloody used maxipad ear piece to stuff in your big, stupid mouth you POS.

    The guy who stole 1.4 billion dollars from US taxpayers, the guy who claims allegiance to Israel over USA, that guy is now making anti-semitical remarks about VP Harris’ spouse. Well of course he is.

  • Vote Rick Scott out of office

    September 6, 2024 at 12:49 pm

    As if Israel was established as a Jewish shrine instead of a big Western military base in the middle east. As if Israel isn’t engaged in genocide and war crimes in Gaza. All Scott has to bitch about is our Vice President not being pro-Israel? What a loser- vote him out!!!!!!!
