Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) melted down and threatened Olympians after several athletes representing the United States openly criticized President Donald Trump's administration and the current state of America.
Scott delivered a curt response to the Olympic athletes currently competing at the Milan Cortina Winter Games voicing their concerns about their home country in a video message on X posted Sunday night, The Daily Beast reported. It's unclear which athlete or comment prompted his reaction.
"Representing the United Statesa beacon for freedom and democracyat the Olympics is an honor. Anyone who feels otherwise should be stripped of their USA Olympic uniform," Scott said.

Hey Scott I have a idea how about the athletics says something about you defrauding Medicare while you were in charge of Colombia/ HCA in the 1990s..................and as for your traitor buddy having his depends get to tight..........isn't this the same guy that defrauded and was convicted of 34 count of fraud and was held liable for attacking a woman in a dressing room and there is tape of him bragging about molesting a woman from the Access Hollywood tape..............and you think people do not have a right to say anything under the First Amendment, maybe you need to go back to school and then ............resign...............

(3,645 posts)... the malignant spawn of an unholy union between Lurch and Uncle Fester needs to be reminded that Trump IS NOT the United States! He's just the president... for now. And no one owes him any loyalty at all. HE owes it to US! And the United States of America is NOT just real estate, it is the people! Yes, even those poor deluded souls that still think the Sun shines out of Trump's fat, felonious ass.
So, Ricky, baby... shut your fuckin' mouth before someone shuts it for you.

(11,101 posts)The highest ideal of being an American right now is to stand up before the world and say out loud that what is on the TV images and the minds of sicko's like Trump and Noem and Miller and Scott is NOT alright...is not American values and is nothing to be proud of...on the other hand, speaking out for the rights and dignity of others in the face of state sponsored censorship and abuse IS THE MOST AMERICAN THING THAT CAN BE DONE, PERIOD!!!!
Fuck Donald Trump and anyone who see what he is doing and gives either tacit or overt approval to any of it. Its an abomination and permanent stain on the legacy of the Founding Fathers and an insult to every single person or citizen that had EVER fought for or died for this nation. The only true heroism and loyalty I want to see from Olympians is dedication to those self-evident truths from the Declaration of Independence and a commitment to making the world a better, freer place for ALL by first setting an example that we can be proud of at home.
Masked goons executing citizens is not on my America The Beautiful BINGO card...

Is Scott claiming that no one has a voice under this regime.
I believe it is time for regime change. Scott you no longer represent Americans, you only represent those you can benefit off of.

Your words are as empty as your shriveled up heart. No one listens to creepy old crooks anymore. Make like a tumbleweed and blow away.
