The GOP has lost all sanity - Freshman senator Ric Scott plans to challenge Mitch Mcconnel for senate leadership. Scott is a close ally of Trump and headed up the GOP Election Strategy. That went so well that he thinks he should be in charge.

Rick Scott Proposed ‘All Americans’ Should Pay Income Tax, Then Denied That He Did
By D'Angelo Gore
Posted on February 24, 2022 | Updated on June 9, 2022
A multipart policy plan released by Sen. Rick Scott on Feb. 22 says “all Americans” should have to pay “income tax,” while saying that “over half of Americans” currently do not.
But in an interview later that day, after criticism from congressional Democrats, the Florida senator falsely claimed that he had not suggested increasing federal income taxes for that many people.
“Of course not,” Scott said when Fox News’ Sean Hannity asked him if his plan called for raising taxes “on more than half of Americans,” including seniors and working families, as Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer had tweeted.
Hannity told Scott that he could not locate the proposed tax increase in Scott’s plan and joked that it may have been written in “invisible ink.”
We found it on page 35 of the proposal — titled “An 11-Point Plan to Rescue America” — which clearly states: “All Americans should pay some income tax to have skin in the game, even if a small amount. Currently over half of Americans pay no income tax.”

What a P.O.S.
He should be held accountable for the massive Medicare fraud his company perpetrated.
