Scott neglects duties in Washington to attend Trump’s trial

New York, NY — On Thursday, while his Senate colleagues worked to pass critical legislation to reauthorize the Federal Aviation Administration, Rick Scott was in New York kissing up to Donald Trump and reminding everyone how he oversaw the largest Medicare fraud in history.

“Instead of doing his job, Rick Scott spent his time reminding Floridians that he oversaw the largest Medicare fraud in history, attacking the judge’s daughter, and following Trump around like a pathetic superfan,” said FDP Chair Nikki Fried. 

“Evidently, Scott thinks he has better things to do than improving aviation safety and addressing the airline workforce shortage. It’s a stark reminder that Scott cares more about chasing Trump around to advance his own self-serving political agenda than doing his job.”
