Rick Scott Campaign: Charlie Crist 'Becoming Unglued'

Submitted by Anonymous on February 7, 2014 - 1:22pm

Gov. Rick Scott's campaign team fired back at former Gov. Charlie Crist on Friday after Crist said six people die every day because Scott didn't vote to expand Medicaid.

"[Scott] said he was for it, Medicaid expansion, for about 30 seconds. I'm exaggerating a little bit, but not much," Crist said on MSNBC's "Daily Rundown." "Didn't lift a finger to get it passed.

"What are the results? About a million of my fellow Floridians are not getting health care today, and I am told by friends at SIEU (sic) that means that six people in Florida die every day as a result of that."

Sen. John Thrasher, who serves as Scott's campaign chairman, called the comparison "crazy and irresponsible."

"Charlie Crist is coming unglued," said Thrasher. "Is the heat from his association with convicted felon Scott Rothstein getting to Charlie Crist after it was revealed that he may have sold judges in exchange for political contributions?Comparing opposition to any policy to homicide is crazy and irresponsible."
