Fellow Republicans skewer Sen. Rick Scott's rescue America plan as 'polarizing' and 'grist for the
Trump mill'
Sen. Rick Scott said he hoped his ultra-conservative plan to "Rescue America" would stir criticism from the "woke" left, Washington insiders as well as some on the right. He's getting his wish and then some.
The 11-point plan to "Rescue America," which declares "there are two genders" and calls for naming a border wall after twice-impeached former President Donald Trump, has stunned some Republicans and created campaign talking points for Democrats, who have been flooding the Internet with tweets about his goal of forcing millions of low- and middle-income Americans currently exempt from income taxes to pay up so "they have skin in the game." .
"If I'm a Democrat looking at this list, this is candy in a store to go after," said former Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele. "No matter how much red, white, and blue you wrap around it, there are some real problematic issues that are raised by what's in this plan."
The agenda could be used by Republicans who are in tough primary challenges but many of its parts could be "difficult to defend by Republicans trying to unseat Democrats in swing states for the general election," said Ron Bonjean, a former spokesman for Republican leaders in the House and Senate.
