From Rick Scott warns 'woke' businesses about a 'day of reckoning'
"the Florida governor's rhetoric was mild compared to the open letter his predecessor, Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.), published on Fox Business' website a day later.
"The senator's rather creepy letter, directed at "Woke Corporate America," mocked executives for criticizing voter-suppression measures, derided their "elitist friends," accused them of "supporting" violent activists, insisted that they're "lying" about Georgia's perfectly reasonable voter-suppression law, and derided their "moral inferiority."
"At times Scott's open letter bordered on hysterical, lashing out at businesses that "feed the rabble leftist mob," and work alongside the "liberal corporate news media" that is "just as dishonest" as private-sector executives. He also condemned President Joe Biden, insisting he "demonstrates how to lie in public and get away with it."
"It was around this point at which the senator's statement took an even darker turn, sounding a bit like a two-dimensional villain from a poorly written action movie:
"Let me give you woke corporate leaders a heads-up: Everybody can see the game you are playing. Everybody can see your lies. You are the naked emperor.... And here is another bit of news for you: There is a massive backlash coming. You will rue the day when it hits you. That day is November 8, 2022. That is the day Republicans will take back the Senate and the House. It will be a day of reckoning."
And what, pray tell, will happen if there's a GOP Congress? According to Rick Scott, Republicans will "make corporate welfare a thing of the past. There will be no number of well-connected lobbyists you can hire to save you. There will be no amount of donations you can make that will save you. There will be nowhere for you to hide."
