Radical leftists aren\u2019t the only ones capable of issuing travel advisories and Florida Sen. Rick Scott (R) triggered more than a few with a re-upped warning for those who balk at \u201cfreedom, liberty, capitalism \u2014 things like that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Having preceded America\u2019s Governor Ron DeSantis as the executive of the Sunshine State, Scott has done his fair share of upsetting the Washington, D.C. establishment \u2014 including serving one combative term as chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, often bucking Republican Senate Leader Mitch McConnell\u2019s status quo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now, as The New York Times recently reported,<\/a> he may be considering his own late entry into the increasingly crowded 2024 GOP presidential nomination contest, the Florida lawmaker, already seeking his second term in the Senate, has drawn a line in the culture war against communists and socialists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSen. Rick Scott here. Let me give you a travel warning,\u201d he began in a video posted Tuesday morning that had over five million views at the time of this posting. \u201cIf you\u2019re a socialist, communist, somebody that believes in big government, I would think twice, think twice, if you\u2019re thinking about taking a vacation or moving to Florida.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n I\u2019m warning socialists and communists not to travel to Florida. They are not welcome in the Sunshine State.pic.twitter.com\/ZB4RVz6XdK<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2014 Rick Scott (@ScottforFlorida) June 27, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe\u2019re the free state of Florida. We actually don\u2019t believe in socialism. We actually know people and we \u2014 some people in our state lived under it,\u201d the senator continued, alluding to immigrant populations who fled regimes like that in Cuba in search of freedom. \u201cWe know people lived under socialism. It\u2019s not good. It\u2019s not good for anybody.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSo, if you\u2019re thinking about it \u2014 if you think about coming to Florida and you\u2019re a socialist or a communist, think twice. We like freedom, liberty, capitalism \u2014 things like that,\u201d he closed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Of course, despite the fact that the NAACP, Human Rights Campaign, and other left-leaning groups had already issued their own<\/a> travel advisories against Florida, meant as an attack against DeSantis and the Republican legislature\u2019s repeated victories against Marxist ideologies, Scott\u2019s suggestion that they not \u201cNew York his Florida\u201d was cause for a hyperbolic response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fuck off, Fascist<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2014 Keith Olbermann\u2199\ufe0f (@KeithOlbermann) June 27, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n \u201cthanks, rick for threatening americans, continuing to hold us hostage after letting trump get away with treason, after letting trump get away with obstruction, after letting trump get away with abuse of power, after letting russia get away with interfering in our elections\u2013but no,\u201d came one unhinged reply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSorry my dude, this is America, the greatest country on earth,\u201d opined another. \u201cMove to North Korea if you want to impose restrictions on citizens traveling about the country.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n thanks, rick for threatening americans, continuing to hold us hostage after letting trump get away with treason, after letting trump get away with obstruction, after letting trump get away with abuse of power, after letting russia get away with interfering in our elections\u2014but no<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2014 Luke Zaleski (@ZaleskiLuke) June 27, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Sorry my dude, this is America, the greatest country on earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Move to North Korea if you want to impose restrictions on citizens traveling about the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2014 John Creighton (@jwcreighton3) June 27, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Is this a threat ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2014 Jesca Hoop (@JescaHoop) June 27, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n This is ridiculous.

A sitting U.S. Senator
Is threatening American citizens that they better stay out off Florida based on their political ideologies
So apparently
Florida is it\u2019s own country now
And that country is 1930\u2019s Nazi Germany<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
