Rick Scott Spending MILLIONS On Ads Attacking Fellow Republican Mitch McConnell

Republican Senator Rick Scott is spending millions of dollars on a national ad campaign attacking fellow Republican Senator Mitch McConnell. In the ad, Scott admits that he didn't do a great job trying to unseat McConnell to be the Senate Republicans' leader, and he then goes on to call for a change in leadership to fight "woke socialism" from the Left. This isn't going to help the Republican Party at all, as Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains.

Republican Senator Rick Scott is running a multimillion dollar ad campaign across the country attacking fellow Republican Mitch McConnell. As we all know, Rick Scott challenged Mitch McConnell for that, uh, minority leadership post in the Senate. He lost hilariously, and he's. He is very bitter. So he has launched this multimillion dollar ad campaign admitting that, you know, he was unable to unseat Mitch McConnell, but also calling for the party to demand a change in leadership. Because as he said, well, let me just read this from the ad. People told me not to run for Republican leader against Mitch McConnell. They said, I wouldn't win. I knew it was going to be hard, but we gotta start somewhere. Look, we're on the road to woke. Socialism and Republicans are just a speed bump. We can't keep doing the same old thing. It's time for Republicans to be bold. Speak the truth and stop caving Ed.

I would bet any amount of money that Rick Scott could neither define what woke means or socialism means, let alone woke socialism. But those are words that terrify stupid Republicans. And so he just says them. You can just throw out random buzzwords. And the Republican politicians know you throw out these random buzzwords and their base eats it up like we have to protect the freedom of the Patriots against the woke Communist socialists. That's a statement that means nothing. I just made it up. But if a Republican politician said that in a speech or at a rally, those Republicans in the crowd would erupt in cheers and applause because none of them know what those words mean. None of them know that. It doesn't make any sense. They just know those words. Scary patriot, word. Good. You man, say it. I clap now. That's what they know. But Rick Scott is kind of, you know, cutting off his nose to spite his face. Here, dude, you got two more years till there's another election. And by the way, you're still in your first term. Mitch McConnell's been in that senate since I was two years old, and I'm about to turn 40. You're in your first term in the Senate

You need to calm down and learn your place. Kid, kid, you're an elderly man, but I'm gonna call you kid because you're acting like a kid. But either way, you still gotta work with those guys again. There's two more years until there's another election, so they're not going anywhere for at least two years. Mitch McConnell's not going anywhere for six years. You have to face them every day. You're going to have to work with them

If you, you want to accomplish anything, which so far in your career, you've accomplished nothing in the Senate, not one single thing. So I'm not sure how that's gonna work out for you because you are up for reelection in two years. Of course, you're running in Florida, so I'm sure the idiots down here will easily vote for you again. But overall, you are the one that's been a failure. Mitch McConnell has an entire resume filled with Republican victories to brag about. They're horrible things, but they're victories for him. He has all of that to brag about. What do you have? You lost $74 million in the National Republican Senatorial Committee, and then you went to Italy and hung out on a yacht when Republicans started asking you tough questions about where the hell the money went. You are the fraud, Rick, and I mean that in so many different ways. You are the problem, not Mitch McConnell, but run your silly little ad.
