Rick Scott channels Bell & Howell
Senator says what?! Rick Scott, the richest U.S. senator, calls the president a "rich kid"U.S. Sen. Rick Scott, during a recent appearance on Fox and Friends, went off the rails in criticizing President Joe Biden's efforts to curb inflation.
“Think about this. Biden’s a rich kid. His whole life has been paid for by your tax dollars. Has no idea how to deal with inflation, no plan to deal with inflation,” Scott said with an apparent straight face.
Sen. Scott's criticism/description of President Biden is, well, rich, coming from a man who is the nation's wealthiest senator. (Much of that wealth, generated by a company convicted of stealing $1.5 billion from the government while he was in charge.)
Sen. Scott's net worth? An estimated $220 million, according to The Celebrity Net Worth website. The president's? A mere $9 million, according to the website.

The said website has Mitt Romney at $300 million so while Rick Scott isn't the richest US Senator the point still stands.
