Washington versus Republican voters (Rick Scott editorial)

When I became the chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, Republicans had just lost control of the Senate. This does not merely mean Republicans lost the ability to lead committees; it means we lost the ability to control anything about what the Senate does.

The result? President Joe Biden and the Democrats opened our southern border for an invasion and a massive flow of illegal drugs, engaged in enough deficit spending to drive inflation through the roof, took away America’s energy independence, drove America into a recession, and implemented soft-on-crime policies that have led to a national epidemic of violent crime.

Unfortunately, many of the very people responsible for losing the Senate last cycle are now trying to stop us from winning the majority this time by trash-talking our Republican candidates. It’s an amazing act of cowardice, and ultimately, it’s treasonous to the conservative cause. Giving anonymous quotes to help the Washington Post or the New York Times write stories trashing Republicans is the same as working with the Democratic National Committee.

If you want to talk about the need to raise more money to promote our candidates versus the Democrats’ terrible candidates, I agree. If you want to trash-talk our candidates to help the Democrats, pipe down. That’s not what leaders do. And Republicans need to be leaders that build up the team and do everything they can to get the entire team over the finish line.

Ultimately, though, when you complain and lament that we have “bad candidates,” what you are really saying is that you have contempt for the voters who chose them. Now we are at the heart of the matter. Much of Washington's chattering class disrespects and secretly (or not so secretly) loathes Republican voters.

"As a side benefit, we will be able to ignore the fools who have been trash-talking Republican candidates and Republican voters. That’s a win-win in my book."

Good for Senator Scott!!

Well, after helping democrats pass so-called "Infrastructure" legislation, the CHIPS legislation and the most far reaching anti gun legislation, I don't know why I would be concerned they don't control the Senate.

OUTSTANDING!!!!!

WHEN we win the Senate, Rick Scott MUST replace Mitch as Majority Leader. Rick is the ONLY leadership Senator publicly pushing back on loser China Mitch.

He stands tall, unafraid.

And you can be sure Rick Scott will fight Biden every chance he gets. No more, “Raise the debt limit for free, and get nothing in return,” ala the McConnell doctrine.

Mitch could have stopped half the Biden insanity if he wanted to. The IRS agents, etc. But he ch9se not to. Why?

Because Trump is right. Mitch is compromised by China and the dems pupl his strings now.

Rick Scott for Majority Leader!!!!
