An attack ad against a private citizen. Doesn't that sort of make him an asshole by default?

"You may have seen this video of a terribly rude woman at a coffee shop cursing and screaming at Gov. Scott," begins the 60-second ad titled "Latte Liberal Gets an Earful." It was produced by Scott's "Let’s Get To Work" PAC.

The ad refers to a viral video that shows a woman chastising the governor for not expanding Medicaid to low-income residents, calling him an "a--hole" and "embarrassment to our state."

"Well, that woman clearly has a problem, and it turns out she's a former government official who refused to recite the pledge of allegiance and calls herself an anarchist," the ad continues.

It then focuses on one of the woman's comments in particular, in which she asks "A million jobs? Who here has a great job?" in response to Scott's defense that his administration created jobs.

1. It makes him an exponentially bigger

assh*le than the lady pointed out in her address.

[shraby]

2. Isn't what Scott did an abuse of power? If not, it sure is treading the outside of the line.

[Major Nikon]

3. He looks more like a penis with ears

[Rex]

11. He makes his old man proud.

[2cannan]

15. Good one! nt

[classykaren]

18. Fire Marshall Bill Rick Scott

[MynameisBlarney]

30. that makes all

penises look bad. Please walk that back.

TampaBay TImes says "Scott rebuts woman........" blah blah blah.

He did no such thing and he was too afraid to sit down and try to explain his asshole behavior.

[Ford_Prefect]

32. He looks more like the chest bursting Alien, IMO.

[djean111]

4. Yeah, I had said before - the woman did not faze him - he would happily drink all of our tears.

I live in Florida - you would think that Debbie DINO could have come up with someone to beat Scott.

Scott, IMO, reacted so weirdly and swiftly because he has higher ambitions and this looks bad. A childish, rich, entitled fucker. People like him will be the death of us all, unless we can root them out.

33. She did. Its called Charlie "I don't know what I am" Crist

And it turned off a lot of people from voting Democrat (which was the plan all along). Since he took office the cost of living has gone up, we're building homes in the fucking everglades displacing wildlife, and all these private companies have been making off like bandits (insurance companies, FPL, etc.).

This is what we have to look forward to should she beat Tim Canova.

[blm]

5. Wasn't he trying to get coffee at the exact same place where she bought her coffee?

Yet his strategy is to mock her for drinking coffee at Starbucks?

[Jackilope]

6. He is and always has been.

No lessons can be taught, no shame can be stirred to a walking piece of human excrement as Rick Scott.

[MrScorpio]

7. It makes him a thin-skinned prick.

Which is pretty much SOP for RWNJ politicians.

[Iggo]

8. Gets an earful? Was that before or after he turned and ran? (n/t)

[mopinko]

9. no

it makes him an asshole by definition. should put his pic in the dictionary next to the word asshole.

[Rex]

10. It makes him the man with the worlds thinnest skin. Plus she must have really got to him.

That means more people need to push his fragile little ego off a cliff! Keep it up Florida! Make her the FIRST of millions to cuss his worthless ass out in public! Make it daily and he will crack up eventually.

[malaise]

12. He's an asshole

PERIOD and a corrupt scumbag ReTHUG to boot.

[2cannan]

13. Scott's a tRUMP supporter, right?

It figures--two thin skinned, insecure LOSERS who've committed fraud. I'm surprised he didn't make the claim in his video that she had blood coming out of her you-know-where!

[Jack Rabbit]

14. We didn't need this to know Rick Scott is an asshole

He's also a crook, but that's irrelevant to the present discussion.

Did Rick Scott cut health care for women? If he wants to bring up his million jobs, how many of them are flipping burgers for minimum wage?

[houston16revival]

16. His attack ad has given more publicity to her charges

than she could ever produce herself

So he's really taken the bait

Not very shrewd on Governor Scott's part

His PR people must think they can defuse, or disinfect with the truth as they see it

Which is where all the smoke is in politics

[retrowire]

17. Anyone who agrees that a politician talking back to a private citizen like this is disgusting...

Better be holding Bill and Hillary to the same fucking standards.

[hughee99]

29. It's different when the Clintons do it. Nt

[spanone]

19. fuck scott. he's lucky he's not in prison.

he oversaw the largest medicare fraud....ever

[steve2470]

20. +10000000000000000000000 I so agree nt

[Ford_Prefect]

31. Luck has nothing to do with it. His enablers have infinite supplies of cash and influence.

[SoapBox]

21. The guy is scum.

[mrmpa]

22. If I were her...........

I would hire a lawyer and a PR person, and see if they can go after Scott for something.

[TalkingDog]

23. Stalking, civil rights violations. Something.

n/t

[Leith]

24. That Is Just About the Most Vulgar Thing I've Ever Seen

The governor of the state just attacked a private citizen. I don't care if she attacked him with a knife - he's the guy with political power and he publicly and nastily attacked one of his powerless constituents.

[Wibly]

26. If you interrupt a man seeking his latte

You get childish punitive personal attacks.
Rick is living proof that you should not impede a man when he wants his latte, especially a wealthy man with a PR team.
They're entitled you know.

[lpbk2713]

27. It makes him a candy ass who doesn't belong in politics.

But that opens up another issue we could speak volumes about.

[AlbertCat]

28. "who refused to recite the pledge of allegiance "

Oh, well then.... off with her head!



Are they serious?

[SwankyXomb]

34. You'd think Scott would be in favor of more Medicaid money coming to Florida

So there'd be more for him to steal.
