“I’ve Been Taken Hostage”: Republican Senator Rick Scott GOES OFF On Adam Schiff And Democrats Over Impeachment (VIDEO)
Republican Senator Rick Scott of Florida claimed that Senators have been “taken hostage” in Washington and are being forced to listen to the “rantings” of Democrat Adam Schiff.
“As you may have heard, I’ve been taken hostage along with ninety-nine other people in the U.S. Capitol. We are receiving only milk and water and we are being subjected to the cruel and unusual punishment of listening to the rantings of Adam Schiff, a person from a parallel universe.”
Senator Scott claimed that the impeachment trial is nothing more than political theater and that the Democrats have been aiming to impeach President Trump since before he was in office.
“Everything that has happened in Washington around this impeachment fiasco is political theater. None of it is real and nothing will come of it. This entire drama that has consumed our federal government for months should have been conducted at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, not the US Capitol.” Senator Scott continued, “The Democrats hate Donald Trump. They don’t just dislike the guy. They hate him. They decided to impeach him even before he took office. The case they presented to the Senate was embarrassingly weak.”
According to polling data from January 29, 2020, from ‘FiveThirtyEight,’ a majority of Americans do not support removing President Trump from office for the charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.
Scott issued a warning to Democrats regarding their desire to call more witnesses, saying that if the Senate votes to hear from witnesses then former vice president Joe Biden will be called to testify about his son Hunter.
“I will promise you this, if we end up having witnesses in the U.S. Senate, Joe Biden will be called to testify. If that happens, he will be too cowardly to show up. But if he did show up, here’s what I will ask him. Mr. Biden, why did you as Vice President of the United States, threaten a foreign country and force them to fire a prosecutor who was investigating a company that was paying your son $83,000 a month. Also, Mr. Vice President, are you proud that you got away with that? And do you think the American people are that stupid? We all know what went on here. You are not fooling anyone.”
