Rick Scott hammers 'inconsistent' messaging from DeSantis

[TomCADem]

It seems like the bromance between two Trump proteges is over as Rick Scott appears to be distancing himself from DeSantis, which is odd given that just a few months ago, Scott was attacking New York based on DeSantis's handling of the pandemic.

Florida’s former Governor still would not mention Gov. Ron DeSantis by name in criticizing the state’s COVID-19 response, saying that “in the middle of a crisis you shouldn’t just be criticizing everybody.”

But on CNBC’s Squawk Box Monday morning Sen. Rick Scott criticized, at great length, “inconsistent” messaging from Governors of hotspot states. Florida is currently the leading example.

“What you’ve got to do is get out there and give good information,” Scott said. “This is not just for the Florida Governor, it’s for Governors around the country.”

Scott has previously discussed what he sees as a void of “good information.” On Monday, with interviewers pressing him to get specific about DeSantis, Scott expanded on previous talking points.

1. Gee Rick you just wake up, buddy?

Governors who give consistent, good information to their citizens tend to get the shitty end of the stick from Trump. Ask Newsome in California, Inslee in Washington or Brown in Oregon what to expect from Trump and his supporters for crossing Trump. Better yet, ask Whitmer in Michigan how it is to confront a lawless posse of armed, angry white men in the Capitol. Do you remember "LIBERATE MICHIGAN"? It wasn't all that long ago, Batboy.

By the way, Sen. Scott, how's that relief bill coming? You've had three months, and the House bill has languished in the Senate hopper. Oh, and thanks again for leaving Donald Trump right where he is when you had the chance to do something about him.

So I’m not surprised about this.

If he thought it would get him one step closer to the presidency. He and DeSantis are cut from the same filthy cloth.
