Florida governor: Obama hasn't called me

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.

No surprise, coming from that filthy piece of $H!T. He wants the Orlando murders to go away, because they prove that his immigration policy is a disaster.

Can you imagine if the only police response were in the hands of Hillary and Ogabe?

Omar would still be shooting.

Note that in the article, Gov Scott previous asked Obama if he would share vetting information with Scott for refugees entering Florida and Obama said "no."

"In fact," Obama continued, "Because you are so presumptuous, we are increasing the known-terrorist numbers by 500%. Be thankful we aren't planning on arming them with nukes.....yet."

Did you catch Obama’s latest lecture to the American people earlier today at around noon? I haven’t been insulted like that in a long time.

Oh, goody. He's going to talk down to Floridians the way he talked down to all of us earlier today.

PING!
