In a speech at the White House last week, Democratic President Joe Biden called out Republican Senator from Florida Rick Scott for his GOP "Rescue Plan," saying:
"Rick Scott of Florida proposed a plan, I wish I had enough copies to hand out...proposed a plan requiring Congress to vote on the future of Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid every five years."
\u201cPresident Joe Biden called out Sen. Rick Scott whose "Rescue America" plan would make Congress vote to reauthorize all federal legislation including Social Security and Medicare every five years. "I would think I'm exaggerating if I didn't look at it myself," he said.\u201d— Newsweek (@Newsweek) 1663175325
Scott, who is also a former Governor of Florida, has been pitching his Rescue America plan hard lately. And after Biden's call-out, Scott figured he'd give Biden what he asked for.
Scott posted on Twitter:
\u201c.@JoeBiden said he wished he had enough copies of my Rescue America plan, so I stopped by the White House today to make sure he did. \n\nThanks for spreading the word, Joe! \n\nCheck it out at: https://t.co/7ZLQG7dZy3\u201d— Rick Scott (@Rick Scott) 1663110228
The website for Scott's brilliant plan that he's so proud of includes such gems as:
"Humans are born male and female, there are two genders, and to deny that is to deny science."
"We are going to eliminate racial politics in America."
"No tax dollars will be used to pay for any diversity training or other woke indoctrination that is hostile to faith."
Biden fired back over Twitter just a few hours later though with a savage trolling tweet.
\u201cCouldn\u2019t agree more, Rick. And if anyone else wants to read your plan to put Social Security and Medicare on the chopping block, they should go to https://t.co/xDudwYX85v. \n\nThanks for stopping by.\u201d— Joe Biden (@Joe Biden) 1663126260
Twitter users immediately took the opportunity to rip on Scott, with many bringing up his significant past failures.

\u201c@JoeBiden I and all seniors and those who receive 'Social Security and Medicare" will remember Rick Scott's plan for sure at the ballot box Mr. President! Goes for all the GOP as well.\u201d— Joe Biden (@Joe Biden) 1663126260
Scott's plan to earn some online clout seems to have done more to give his opponents a chance to dunk on him than anything.
