In the wake of the deadliest terrorist attack on U.S. soil since 9/11, Rick Scott received phone calls from George W. Bush and Donald Trump, the Republican governor of Florida said Tuesday. He's still waiting on a call from President Barack Obama, however.
Speaking to Brian Kilmeade on "Fox & Friends" from Orlando, Florida, Scott shared details of both calls. During his call with the 43rd president, Scott said Bush told him that he and former first lady Laura Bush "were praying for us, and anything he could do, he would love to be helpful."
As far as Obama is concerned, Scott said, "He has not called us."
"A staffer has called, but no, he has not called," Scott added, after Kilmeade noted that Obama "was talking about guns yesterday," speculating that the president would talk more about that angle during his visit to the city scheduled for Thursday.
Trump also called him, the governor added. "He called to just ask how I was doing, you know, like everybody else is praying for us," Scott said of the presumptive Republican nominee, whom he endorsed following his victory in the state's March primary.
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Because the governor is a Republican.
This is Obama SOP.
Obama never makes a move until Val Jar and Soros tell him.
I guess gay lives don’t mattter...
Unbelievable.
The Green Line from the White Mosque goes directly
to the Moslem Brotherhood (Nazis, Ihkwan) and Iran.
Why would an American Governor presume to be the loop
with Obama the cryptoMoslem?
Hard to call while sucking thumb.
Governor, count yourself lucky.
Count you blessings. If he does call, have you peeps tell him you’re indisposed.
Obama did not call the governor.
But Trump did.
The one thing I have noticed about tragedies in other countries is this: it always seems as if the leader drops everything & heads to the scene of the incident.
Obama either never shows up or shows up way too late. Sorry, but he & his wife should have been there the next day, donating blood, comforting victims & families. Our president is MIA in every way.
What about Madam Benghazi?
Cut him some slack on that. He's probably not eligible to donate blood.
Obama will be down there, taking the spotlight, later this week.
Meanwhile, Governor Scott should express relief that Obama hasn't inserted himself directly into the governor's schedule.
How could Clown prince nobama donate blood? They don’t allow homos to do so.
Obama, a homosexual and muslim, is just as mentally unstable as the Orlando shooter.
Obama just hasn’t snapped yet.
On the golf course again?
Unbelievable how Obama focuses only on Left Wing politics and not the good of our country.
My Lord, imagine if this were Bush? I’ll wait for the WaPO to publish this.......
