Republican Sen. Rick Scott of Florida declined to criticize former President Donald Trump's recent comments attacking Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.

He added later:"But it's also not helpful what the vice president says when she when she thinks that FEMA is going to treat people differently based on their skin color."

Harris said during the Democratic National Committee's Women's Leadership Forum on that the Biden administration has to provide resources"based on equity." "It is our lowest income communities and our communities of color that are most impacted by these extreme conditions and impacted by issues that are not of their own making," she said."We have to address this in a way that is about giving resources based on equity, understanding that we fight for equality, but we also need to fight for equity, understanding not everyone starts out at the same place.

Scott, though, said the Federal Emergency Management Agency , which administers assistance to those affected,"has to be colorblind." on"Face the Nation," FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell said she is focused on removing barriers to accessing the agency's programs for all who need relief in the wake of natural disasters.

"These people that need our help the most are going to be able to access the help that we offer. I know that the vice President and the president, they share the same values," she said."And again, I was on the ground Friday and Saturday, and I committed to the governor then that we are going to provide assistance to all Floridians because we know that there are people that are just completely devastated from the storm. We are going to be there to support everybody that needs help.

No balls Scott

Wow Twitter just drop my post of 20 second ago below a post from 20 hours ago. I guess Twitter did not like what I had to say

Propaganda machine running over the truth. CBS Constantly Spewing Bullshit.

When it comes to taxes, SenRickScott wants Americans to put 'their skin in the game', but Scott is too much of a coward to put his own skin in the game FOR ANYTHING. VoteOutEveryRepublican before they 'skin' you.

Why should he? To satisfy the corrupt Media? I can’t stop laughing 😆.

Of course he did.

They're dealing with catastrophe from a hurricane. Why would make anybody think it's ok for him to think politics right now over helping people? Unnecessary 🙄

McConnell is stuck in the swamp. And will be exposed as the fake Republican he is.

Disgusting he dodge Margaret’s question 5 times but that is the MAGA way

Haven't heard or seen him is 4 years. Now he's all over the news, acting concerned. Oh, that's right, it's midterms.

So what? Why do you think everyone has to react and respond to everyone and everything. SenRickScott LeaderMcConnell

Because that’s what he wants to be…if he can’t be President of course.

HillBeverlyhill Chicken poop

He voted no to fema funding but now wants it!

Seriously

Is there a more wimpy. wishy-washy politician then Scott?

not his job

Anyone with a brain knows that McConnell is a career bottom feeder. He and the other career mooches will never put America first.

Scumbag

We can all stop looking for some semblance of integrity, decency and honesty in this GOP. With the exception of a few GOP have no values like that. In fact they have turned on and cast out anyone that showed those traits. GOP are division, deception, demonization, racism…

Coward.

I'm from Florida and a republican. This guy needs to go, a crook. Green, Gatz, Scott, all need to be kicked out of politics! They are a freaking mess! Trump also needs to be kicked to the fn curb to make room for DeSantis so we can get back to making money and having values again

Former Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant can divert welfare funds for construction of a volleyball facility at - Favre's alma mater - Nothing for Jackson Water System. 🤬

Idiot.

Because SenRickScott is spineless!

POS coward

Navy!

For these politicians, it is not about what is right for America. It is about keeping up the grift and staying in power. If the GOP succeeds, this will be the end of Democracy and fair voting.

Why even ask them . Their answers only depend on which way the breeze carries trumps shit.

I watched and Margaret didn't get several of her picking questions answered. We know the evil democrats network. Thought it was hilarious.

He doesn't have to. The fact the left needs to tell people how they should think or feel is a bit scary. They want control. They need control.

Republicans like Scott are more concerned about not pissing Trump off than doing what is right. It’s called Fear!

The cowardice of Republicans is breathtaking... Who are they to lecture the rest of us on what masculinity is?

Spineless coward.

Did this unmoral man answer even one question to him? No he answered by bringing up something Kamala Harris said which was not true. I guess the republican party is just built on LIES, expecting their following to believe them.

SenRickScott is an ignorant coward.

Can you imagine how many spins Reagan has done in his coffin over these spineless modern MAGAs ?

Shame on you Rick Scott.

He’s a coward just like his savior trump.

ScottforFlorida is a coward.

What a spineless wonder.... doesn't anyone in the Republican party want to stand up to him?

CBS always tweeting about Trump.

Scott is all about party over country has no balls and is afraid of trump

A true coward and anti democracy friend

That’s because he deserved it!!

Why why why

Death threats a part of the modern GOP platform.

😡😡😡

Such a spineless b!tch

Good man

ConspiracyToDefraudAmerica

Of course he did. They are all such disgusting suck-ups and cowards. The GOP is full of people who WON’T admit “The Emperor has no clothes!!”

LockHimUp

He's deplorable. Skeletor lives.

GOP the party of evil, spineless weasels

Mary Trump Thinks Trump Will Seek ‘Revenge’ on Ron DeSantis if He Runs AgainIn an episode of her podcast, the former president’s niece seemed to believe that he would run again—and take revenge on a rising star in the party.
