Rick Scott gets an earful at Gainesville Starbucks

I saw that, and I'm also glad she called him out. He's such an ass.

Love it!!!!!!!!

That is one of the coolest things I've ever seen! It looks like the bastard left without his coffee... good!!!

i hate that SOB and so glad he got an earful in public, he's an absolute jackass..who's pockets are lined by big sugar and the insurance industry. He is also responsible for a bill back in 2013/14 which was supposed to eliminate frivolous lawsuits against the insurance industry. My mother died in a hospital after a botched cath lab procedure.....and we aren't able to bring a suit against the doctor or hospital because she didnt have a surviving spouse or child under the age of 25. He's an arrogant, uncaring douche, who isn't fit to hold public office

If that woman ever comes to Cape Coral I will buy her coffee!!  Good for her!!!

Yeah, that's the way to get things done. Disrupt everyone and champion for the down-trodden by yelling obscenities from behind your laptop at Starbucks. I'm sure the governor has been thinking long and hard about his decisions regarding the issue and is certain to change due to this brave woman's heroic confrontation. Where have all the adults gone?

So instead of Rick Scott just walking away the outburst at Starbucks he had to "drop" his own video with a response.

All it did, IMO, is as the article implies is making him look like a big douche bag.

There was absolutely no upside to releasing the video. 

Welcome to the new pod.

To be honest, I'm really not comfortable with that kind of public verbal attack on any public servant ... or any person, period.

However, the fact does remain that Rick Scott is a giant douche.

Hey, didn't Florida re-elect this guy already??

There are certainly better ways of letting an elected official know how unhappy one is with their performance.   However having said that our elected officials really do a pretty good job of insulating themselves from the masses.

I live in a small town.  My sister had an issue she wanted to talk about with the Mayor.  She stopped by City Hall and asked if she could make an appointment to talk to the Mayor.  The Administrative Assistant came out and asked my sister what she wanted to talk to the Mayor about.  She told her and the AA told her the only way to make an appointment to talk to the Mayor is if she made the request by letter.  My sister was not asking to meet with the Mayor right then and there she just wanted to set up an appointment.   I live close to city hall and she was on the way over so it made sense to stop by and make the appointment.  But apparently even in a small town one has to jump through hoops to meet with elected officials.   That is until they want your vote.  

So sometimes I guess when one sees their chance they take it.  

Ha! We say the exact same thing about our Gov Sam Brownback. Paul Davis was leading in all the polls, leading all night and then all of the sudden Brownback won. But then a statistician came forward and said she had reviewed the voting patterns and there are clear discrepancies and the count cannot be substantiated. So she sued to get access to the voter tapes from the machines and was turned down by a judge and Kris Kobachs office. So he remains our worthless ignorant Gov.
