Sen. Rick Scott on Trump’s Rhetoric: ‘It’s Never Ever OK To Be a Racist’
Breitbart ^ | 10/02/2022 | Pam Key

Posted on 10/02/2022 7:45:22 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Senator Rick Scott (R-FL) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that “it’s never, ever OK to be a racist” when asked about former President Donald Trump’s comments about former Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao.

Anchor Dana Bash said, “I have to ask you about what appears to be a threat by former President Trump against your colleague, Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell. Trump said, quote, ‘He has a death wish for supporting Democratic-sponsored bills.’ He also mocked McConnell’s wife and his own former transportation secretary as, quote, ‘China loving wife, Coco Chow.’ You’re a member of Senate GOP leadership. Are you okay with this?”

When <50% of all murders are committed by >10% of the population, one tends to question the compatibility of that group. Some might call it racism, I’d call it astute observation and self preservation. Fix your culture, then we’ll talk about “racism”.

What in hell is Scott babbling about? I've never heard Trump make a racist statement.

It's another example of how pathetic the Republican establishment types are.

There was nothing remotely “racist” about his comment nor could anything even remotely be perceived as a “threat” by any rational listener.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Senator Scott, being mildly rude and being racist are not usually the same thing. Mr. Trump speaks his mind, as he always has. He is focusing on actions taken by Mitch and his wife, not the fact that his wife is Chinese. Don’t be so eager to buy into that Dem narritive.

Well, Trump wasn’t being a racist, he was telling the truth, so forget that.

However, Chao was a member of Trump’s Cabinet. It sure does get old having to listen to Trump attack the RINOs he surrounded himself with. We’ve got an election coming up in 4 weeks. Trump needs to take a temporary break from attacking Republicans and focus on Dems.

Ok, so Trump was a little naïve, I don’t think anyone here knew just how bad the Swamp really was until Trump came along.

I think that’s why I like Trump so much. He just says what needs to be said and other people can’t handle it.

That’s their problem

Scott appears to be consumed with "racisim" ... a condition which, if not self-corrected quickly, would characterize him as a, well, a racist. Can't have that, Scott ... even if you have a clearly desperate need for the Democrat/Communists to like you ... which they never, ever will.

Stop pandering, Scott. It's not a good look for you.
