Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.), the chairman of the Senate GOP campaign arm, said on Sunday that he will help Sen. Lisa Murkowski’s (R-Alaska) reelection efforts, even though former President Trump has already endorsed a challenger against her.
“You had said you're going to support all incumbents. And I'm just curious, does that include Lisa Murkowski, where the former president has endorsed a primary challenger? And when you say you support, does that mean you will financially support Lisa Murkowski and actually help run a campaign against a primary opponent?” “Meet the Press” moderator Chuck Todd asked Scott on NBC.
“Absolutely. ... We support all of our incumbents,” Scott answered. “And fortunately for us, we've got great candidates running in our primaries. And fortunately for us, we've got Bernie Sanders candidates on the other side in many primaries, and so we're going to be in a great position in ‘22.”
Murkowski was one of seven Republican senators to vote to impeach Trump earlier this year.
In June, Trump announced that he would be endorsing a challenger to the Republican incumbent, saying he supported former Alaska Commissioner of Administration Kelly Tshibaka.
“Murkowski has got to go!” Trump said in a statement issued through Save America PAC.
Murkowski, for her part, appeared to remain undeterred by the challenge.
“I know that former President Trump is skeptical about me and the job that I do for Alaska, but I really think that that's for Alaskans to judge,” Murkowski said during an interview with Alaska Landmine Radio in July
Damn, no!!!
Rick Scott? Why would he support that Murkowski????
I live in Florida and will not be voting for Scott for re-election.
Scott is another clueless RINO.
Going on Meet The Depressed, and sucking up to their socialist moderator.
If Rick thought that would fill GOP campaign coffers, he’s in for a very rude surprise.
No pudding pops for you, Scott....
This is why I do NOT give the RNC a single penny.
Nor the National Republican Senatorial Committee and National Republican Congressional Committee.
They spend the money on electing Rats and RINO’s.
The stupidity of some Republican senators is appaling
This is precisely why I will NOT donate one red cent to the RNC.
As far as I am concerned, the RNC deserves to join the WHIG Party on the scrap heap of history.
DNR
The headline says it all as to why Mrs. RQSR, and myself don’t send money to the NRCC, only to the campaigns of the individuals we support. The NRCC has this bad habit of supporting establishment choices, not ours.
ESAD Rick Scott, and the Establishment Uni-Party.
The stupidity of some Republican senators is appalling
Dear Rick Scott, this is precisely why I will never donate to the Republican Party again. Only directly to the candidates I support. Period!
When I donate, it is to specific candidates, never to any middle man.
We give only to individual candidates.
Let’s go, Lisa!
Let’s go, Rick!
Scott is a DemonRat !
Scott is a DemonRat !
Get Lisa the hell out of there. She is narrow minded and women’s issues are not the only kind of issues.
Being a RINO is a far worse sin than being a liberal.
At least the libs admit publically that they have no brain, morals, or sanity.
A RINO, on the other hand, is a lying POS deserving of death even before we get to the libs.
He nailed his coffin.
