Rick Scott: Congressional Dems ‘Don’t Care’ — This Is Why Democrats Should Never ‘Be in Charge of Anything’

Tuesday on Hugh Hewitt’s nationally syndicated radio show, Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) lambasted his Democrat colleagues on Capitol Hill for thwarting the passage of a coronavirus relief bill.

Scott argued Democrats were using the crisis to pass liberal policies, showing that they “don’t care” about the public.

“They don’t care,” Scott said. “This is why they should never, the Democrats should never, ever be in charge of anything, because they don’t care about the American public. They care about their liberal agenda, and they’re going to do everything they can do, they’re going to do exactly what Rahm Emanuel said. They’re not going to let a crisis go to waste. And they’re going to try to, you know, put on Americans a whole bunch of their liberal policies.”

The Florida Republican discussed how some small businesses had lost everything and, once again, pointed to Democrats’ efforts to add liberal agenda items.

“[T]he stories that I’m hearing from small businesses, you know, that they had six restaurants, they were building great businesses, and they just went to nothing. I talked, I mean, there’s so many stories of these little companies, and these people are distraught. And so, and I mean, your heart just goes out to them, because when you have no money, I mean, you’ve got kids, golly, it’s a tough life for these people right now. And then you watch the Democrats. They don’t care. We’ve got some liberal stuff we’ve got to get done here, so we’re going to hold everybody up. We don’t want to help people.
