Rick Scott Delivers Body Blow to McConnell, Senate Majority 'Establishment Insiders'

Florida Senator Rick Scott is taking another shot at Republican and Democratic leadership in the U.S. Senate, saying, “It’s time to throw the old leaders of both parties out!”

Sen. Scott made the remarks during his latest Senate Majority Leader and Senate reelection campaign ad, where he mocks the Washington, D.C. government establishment for refusing to address some of the pressing issues that are affecting everyday Americans—Border Crisis and ‘Bidenflation.’

Video transcript:

What if I told you there’s a magical place where they can print money and you never have to pay your bills? A place where spending money you don’t have is good, term limits are bad, and border security doesn’t matter.

It’s a place where they don’t care about crime or inflation. And where you can invent your own truth. Here it is! It’s called Washington and it’s time to throw the old leaders of both parties out!

While Sen. Scott does take a political swipe at Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D), he delivers a body blow to current Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R), who Scott says that along with other members of Republican “establishment insiders” ( Sens. John Cornyn and Tom Thune) have “cut deals with Chuck Schumer” and involved in “secret votes and secret agendas.”

“How do we stop inflation and reverse it so a working family can afford a decent dinner? How do we secure our border so illegal aliens aren’t free to wander around our country and murder a young college woman out for a jog in Georgia? How do we turn things around and punish and stop crime instead of letting it get out of control and destroy our communities? Senate Republicans should be leading the way on these things, but we aren’t.

“I believe it is because we have two Republican Parties in America. One is in Washington. It’s a tired, old, Republican party led by establishment insiders. It is out of touch, not only with our problems but with our people. It cuts deals with Chuck Schumer. It has secret votes and secret agendas. It’s the ‘go along to get along’ crowd. It’s yesterday’s Republican Party and it hasn’t made a dent in our problems in years. But I’ve got some really good news: There is another Republican Party, a real Republican Party outside of Washington. It’s the one Washington Republicans ignore. It’s the one that respects working people and their families and their beliefs. It’s the one that’s tired of being sold out, tired of being thrown under the bus, tired of the Washington status quo. It’s the one that supports Donald Trump, instead of undermining him all the time. These old establishment Republicans have had their day. It’s time for a change and a fresh, new approach. We can fix all of our country’s problems. I’m confident about that. But first, we Republicans need to clean up our own house in Washington. More of the same won’t cut it. That’s why I am running for reelection to the U.S. Senate and for Republican Leader,” stated Scott.

Scott recently announced his candidacy to replace retiring Leader McConnell. Former President Donald Trump supports Scott’s decision to jump into the race, and there is speculation that the former president could eventually endorse his good friend.

President Trump’s closest advisor, Susie Wiles, helped Scott win his first gubernatorial campaign back in 2010 and has kept a close personal and working relationship with Scott.
