Fraudster senator got special treatment and wants the same for Trump
Florida Sen. Rick Scott has bitter complaints about the alleged persecution of Donald Trump, and he’s using his own trials and tribulations to illustrate his point. Trump himself loves to claim he’s been treated more unfairly than any politician ever, including Abraham Lincoln, whose reward for freeing millions of brutally enslaved men, women, and children was being shot in the back of the head by a Confederate jabroni.
You may recall that conservatives claim Trump is being unfairly crucified for allegedly trying to quash a story about an affair he allegedly had as his wife allegedly cooled her haute heels at home with their infant son. Just like Jesus—if Jesus had worn Hugh Hefner pajamas during the Last Supper and conspired with Yahweh to keep Black people from moving into Galilee.
But instead of proving that Trump is being unfairly targeted, what Scott really demonstrated is how unnervingly easy it still is for rich white men to get away with egregious shit in America.
In fact, it’s so easy that on Thursday, Scott felt emboldened enough to dredge up an old scandal no politician in their right mind would want to relitigate. Then again, he probably feels bulletproof. Because despite having presided over one of the worst Medicare frauds in American history, in subsequent years, Scott was able to get himself elected first as Florida’s governor and then its junior senator.
