Rick Scott says Raphael Warnock is a 'socialist or Marxist'

[TexasTowelie]

U.S. Sen. Rick Scott, the Florida Republican helming the National Republican Senatorial Committee, continues to engage in the Senate runoff election in Georgia.

On the Monday afternoon edition of Fox News’ “Outnumbered Overtime,” Scott contended that one of the Democrats running in the January election was a “socialist or a Marxist.”

Scott told host Harris Faulkner that the Rev. Raphael Warnock was a “socialist or a Marxist, you can decide what you want.”

“He believes that government can run your life … he called law enforcement thugs,” Scott said. “He clearly is not where Georgians are.”

And I can't say what I really mean about this uppity -- oops -- oh, shit, I mean, well anyway, so this will have to do, yeah socialist and Marxist and communist and fascist and pinko -- oh shit I was trying to avoid color words oh damn I gave away the game I didn't mean to do that..."

2. I think Warnock needs to push back harder on this than just saying it's a distraction.

He needs to say it,"I am not a socialist."

6. And then they'll start lobbing more things to deny instead of addressing the issues.

3. Sounds about right. How fitting for the man that now pastors Dr.King's church.

He too was branded socialist, marxist, communist.

They have no policy arguments. Only attacks.

Apparently, anyone that wants govt to work for the people and not corporations, wants equal rights and justice for all people, wants to protect the environment is a socialist.

4. Rick Scott stole countless millions in a health insurance fraud.

5. I hope...

... people in FL respond to lawless Rick Scott. The government is law enforcement, and Scott should start obeying the law! Having government make laws is not Communism. Scott needs to change his criminal mindset.
