Ouch.

Republican Senator from Florida Rick Scott penned an op-ed for the Wall Street Journal in March, criticizing New York for its high taxes and claiming that residents were fleeing Governor Andrew Cuomo's state because of his economic policies.

Scott went on to say "If you cut taxes and make state and local government efficient, maybe you can compete with Florida again."


Spoiler alert: Governor Andrew Cuomo isn't having it.

Cuomo said:

"New York doesn’t add to Florida’s bills. We pay them."

Cuomo responded with his own op-ed, scathingly titled Florida Gets Welfare From New York.

"If Sen. Scott wants to return to New York the $36 billion that we give to Florida every year, I’ll end my campaign to reinstate SALT deductibility."

Talk about putting the SALT in salty.

State and local tax (SALT) deductions allow taxpayers in states with high local tax to deduct those tax payments on their federal returns. Trump made a change to the policy under his Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, instituting a cap of $10,000 on total SALT deductions.

"This represents a tax increase of more than $600 billion nationally," Cuomo wrote, "with dire implications for New York."

"What they did was increased our taxes and they subsidized Florida with our taxes," Cuomo said on public radio's The Capitol Pressroom. "That's not rhetoric. That's a fact."

"The law was passed by a Republican president, a Republican House and a Republican Senate," Cuomo wrote, adding "The hypocrisy is breathtaking."

Scott has yet to respond to Cuomo, but doesn't look like the two are going to end their grudge match any time soon.

Trump Ripped After Going Off On Bonkers Rant About Room's Decor During Cabinet Meeting

During Tuesday's cabinet meeting while the press was in attendance, MAGA Republican President Donald Trump gave a rambling stream of consciousness speech that went all over the place before landing on paint versus gold leaf, leading people to again question the POTUS' mental acuity amid a notable cognitive decline.

In a disjointed monologue about the decor in the cabinet room, Trump said he stole a grandfather clock from Secretary of State Marco Rubio's office and chose a painting of James Polk because the frame matched the frame around his favorite President—Andrew Jackson.
