The Hill reports:
Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) has crafted an 11-point plan laying out what the agenda should be for Republicans and conservatives if they retake control of Congress this year and the White House in 2024.
Scott, the chair of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, released what he called a plan to “rescue America,” which includes a promise to finish a wall along the Southwest border with Mexico and name it after former President Trump.
The plan also calls on Republican leaders to “strip all federal funding from ‘sanctuary cities’ and prosecute any elected officials who flout our immigration laws.”
Read the full article. Scott, rather obviously, is burnishing his MAGA cred in case he runs for president.
Tucked in Rick Scott’s 11 pt GOP plan is a call for a tax hike, however small, on the lowest incomed Americans. It’s an ancestor of Romney’s 47% comments (minus the moocher talk) pic.twitter.com/UbUaErvzww

Once again, I am begging Republicans to learn literally any other line from Martin Luther King Jr’s vast body of work.
Here we have Rick Scott quoting MLK’s “character” line — not once, but twice! — to argue against affirmative action programs that MLK explicitly championed. pic.twitter.com/Z6Ej5Gv8SQ

Rick Scott’s new thing is mostly shrewd demagoguery but I’d be interested to know how many 2022 candidates agree with his proposal to raise taxes on retired people … it seems like a bad idea to me. pic.twitter.com/qKx8WM11lX

Rick Scott apparently wants to roll back some voting rights for members of the US Military.?
“Ballots can only be submitted to a polling location by a voter or the post office. No ballots that show up after election day will be counted, ever.”https://t.co/xJyCaNmNuh

To really experience how bonkers this is, you have to read it in its proper manifesto form… not as cleaned up in an article… pic.twitter.com/gqBz478uMB
