I thought he was Skeletor (although he also bears a striking resemblance, IMHO, to many of the aliens that grace the covers of the National Enquirer, et al.

Rick Scott is an asshole.

Florida Sen. Rick Scott has been publicly dressed down by Republican leader Mitch McConnell, privately rebuked by his colleagues and repeatedly accused of running the National Republican Senatorial Committee in a way that benefits his own future over the candidates he was hired to get elected.
He has directed a sizable share of his fundraising as NRSC chair to his own accounts, while shifting digital revenue away from Senate campaigns and buying ads promoting himself that look all but identical to spots he does for the national committee.
But during the seven weeks of turmoil since Scott dropped a provocative conservative policy bomb on an unsuspecting party — a plan that called for tax increases and expiration dates for all federal laws, including those establishing Social Security and Medicare — he has not once expressed regret. Instead, the former hospital chain CEO and two-term governor, the richest man in the Senate, argues that he owes his detractors nothing.
But the fundraising has come with significant grumbling from fellow Republicans. High dollar donors at some of Scott’s fundraising events, including in a swing through Florida in the summer of 2021, have been asked to give their first $10,800 to his campaign account and a separate leadership PAC, before anything goes to the NRSC, a departure from the practice of his predecessors who were less reliant on such fundraising vehicles.

From what I know, Rick Scott is probably the same level grifter as DFO.

We as a society are going to have to do something about the psychopaths who have wormed their way to the top of some of our biggest corporations - and government.

Wonder if that's where part of the NRSC $$ ended up.

Re: Richard Lynn Scott (né Myers) aka Voldemort
Better to skim the articleRick Scott is making his move to oust McConnell. Shortly after huddling with Trump at Bedminster, Trump trashes Mitch today and Scott writes this OpEd: “Trash-talking our candidates .. amazing act of cowardice .. treasonous to the conservative cause.”

Whoa, I would definitely be really upset if Mitch McConnell and Rick Scott had a little war against each other. That's a good example of Democrats in disarray, huh? Here's why that's bad news for Joe Biden ...

Voldemort, along with many other Republicants, voted against funding that included relief for Hurricane Ian. Because of course he did.

Asked on CNN about Trump seemingly making a death threat against Mitch McConnell, Rick Scott refuses to condemn it, saying "the president [sic] likes to give people nicknames. I'm sure he has a nickname for me."
