A Republican senator who is facing blowback from both sides after releasing his “11 point plan” to “rescue America” battled with a Fox News host over the weekend over whether proposed income tax hikes were a “Democratic talking point”.
Sen Rick Scott released the policy proposal in late February; the plan calls for shrinking the federal workforce by one quarter and selling government assets while also hitting on a number of other GOP talking points from critical race theory to voting rights legislation, which it falsely refers to as “institutionalizing dishonesty and fraud” in election systems and generally as an attempt to “rig elections”, playing on Donald Trump’s false claims regarding the 2020 election.
