Rick Scott: 'Jesse Jackson Owes Every Floridian an Apology for his Reckless and Divisive Comments'

Gov. Rick Scott fired back at Jesse Jackson who had called Florida an apartheid state and the Selma of our times and demanded an apology.

Jesse Jackson owes every Floridian an apology for his reckless and divisive comments, Scott said. It is unfortunate that he would come to Florida to insult Floridians and divide our state at a time when we are striving for unity and healing. Floridians are a strong, resilient people. We are fortunate to live in a great state where all Floridians enjoy opportunities to get a great job and a world-class education.
