we’re talking about emergency federal funding to deal with the pandemic.

Scott is whining about having to “bail out” other states that need emergency funding. He’s essentially saying that states which have “mismanaged” their finances shouldn’t get emergency funding. (And of course, he will decide what “mismanaged” means.)

By Scott’s logic, if Florida has done such a great job of managing its finances then it wouldn’t need to take federal funding when an emergency strikes. But of course, Scott will immediately request federal funding as soon as Florida gets hit by an hurricane — which he should by the way, because when one state suffers a massive natural disaster then we should all pitch in to help.

But he wants to deny that help to other states, which makes him a massive hypocrite, which is the point of the graphic.
