Rick Scott If You Want To Talk Down Our Candidates To Help The Democrats Get Down

“Unfortunately, many of the very people responsible for losing the last Senate cycle are now trying to prevent us from winning the majority this time by talking about our Republican nominees,” Scott wrote in an op-ed published in the conservative Washington Examiner. week. “It’s an amazing act of cowardice, and ultimately, it’s a betrayal of 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.” The NRSC chairman didn’t call out any elected officials or Republican pundits by name, but said “much of the Washington chatterbox disrespects and secretly (or not so secretly) loathes Republican voters.” Scott’s comments appear to be the latest in a spat with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), who turned heads in Republican circles last month when he suggested the House is more likely to pass to GOP control of the Senate. “I think there’s probably a greater chance of overturning the House than the Senate. Senate races are just different — they’re statewide, the quality of the candidates has a lot to do with the outcome,” McConnell said. Most in new poll say FBI search of Trump’s home was appropriate Texas governor sends first busload of immigrants to Chicago Those comments earned a sharp rebuke from former President Trump, who has spent much of his post-White House time campaigning and fundraising for Republican loyalists, including some candidates in tight Senate races. “If you want to talk about the need to raise more money to promote our candidates against the terrible Democratic candidates, I agree,” Scott said Thursday. “If you want to trash talk our candidates to help the Democrats, say so. That’s not what leaders do. And Republicans need to be leaders who build the team and do what they can to get the whole team to the finish line.”
