Just curious---was Sen. Rick Scott ever an honest person? Did he evolve into a hypocritical

liar or has he been one from the get-go?

Hearing his smarmy spew on CNN just now had the same effect as smelling someone else's fresh vomit.

NO, never.

and he's been on the government teat for his entire life including his tear jerking story about he and his mom being on welfare and food stamps when he was a child.

75 5th amendment answers to his deposition about his companies medicaid fraud sealed that years ago. Then after being elected governor of FLoriduh( gaud knows who votes for assholes like him), he got the legislature to pass a law that anyone on parole, probation, supervision, or receiving benefits of any type had to go thru urinalysis every month. He neglected to inform them that Solantic, a company his wife "owned" was going to be the sole testing agency.

he's definitely not an honest person imho.

He was already a troubled child when he was brought to Hogwarts.

By the time he learned about horcruxes, he was a lost cause. He was evil long before he tried to kill Harry Potter.

when he was CEO of Columbia/HCA. The company paid the biggest fine ever paid. He should have been jailed, but fat cats somehow get a different standard of justice than the average Joe.
