“The Democrats want to destroy this country, and they will try to destroy anyone who gets in their way. Today it’s Herschel Walker, but tomorrow it’s the American people,” Scott said in a statement sent to CNN on Saturday. “I’m proud to stand with Herschel Walker and make sure Georgians know that he will always fight to protect them from the forces trying to destroy Georgia values and Georgia’s economy, led by Raphael Warnock.”

This is a direct quote from a sitting US Senator. I mean, consider who he is, but this is ridiculous. I get it's election time, but the dems want to destroy this country? Come on. What a scumbag.

1. FUCK ALL REPUBS!!! FUCK 'EM ALL!! nt

2. The anti democracy republicans want to destroy the country. The party that attacked the Capitol.

The party that keeps people from voting.
The party who wants to control women.
The party who oversaw more than one million dead Americans from COVID.
The party who wants to take away social security and Medicare.
Republicans are lying garbage. Only those who are lying garbage believe them and their media apologists.

3. Don't forget who Scott is.

His company committed the largest fraud against Medicare in history. He spent $64mil of stolen money to get "elected" governor of Florida. He should be in prison.

5. That's about it..he's Scott's choice

I always thought he looked like Frankenstein..just need a bolt in his neck

[Septua]

6. "..but the Dems want to destroy the country?"

It's not just a sitting Senator saying it. It's also a Hitler-esque propaganda tactic.

"Accuse the other side of that which you are guilty."

[riversedge]

12. Many Repugs have said this. And RW media says it.

[Roy Rolling]

7. Of course

“The Democrats want to destroy…Herschel Walker”.

Well duh.

Herschel needs to catch up on his child support before ruining the country like he’s ruined the lives of his children.

[Lunabell]

8. How about this asswipe concentrating on Florida.

Hundreds of people died in a huge hurricane last week, dome head!! Thousands are homeless or without power. Concentrate on Florida you power hungry piece of shit!

[Probatim]

9. The hot mics that are likely to happen will be fantastic.

[Mr.Bill]

10. So Rick drew the short straw.

13. Looking Forward to seeing who's

coming to Georgia to Campaign with Sen Warnock!

[Bucky]

14. The basic pitch for Walker among white Republicans is that he WON'T be a leader

He's one of "the good ones", they're not saying.
But they're definitely thinking "He'll do as he's told"

The utter contempt for democracy is clear even among the ones who don't support the Big Lie mythology

[DemocraticPatriot]

17. "token negro" ?

sorry, but that is the truth in this case.

[not fooled]

Hard to pick the worst prospective candidate...Voldemort Scott, DeSatan, Fist-Pump Fascist Hawley...and of course red don.

[DemocraticPatriot]

21. Republicans are always projecting.

"The Democrats want to destroy this country,..." says a member of a party who wants to end Medicare, Social Security, the Post Office, Public Schools, the EPA, environmental regulations, women's rights, civil rights, and which is led by a former reality show star who steals our most sensitive nuclear secrets and stuffs them in his desk at his golf club where he poses for pictures with Russian spies.

[tavernier]

22. And that's just skimming off the top.

[czarjak]

23. The rich. The dumb. Republicans.

[ancianita]

24. Only a bold faced liar who voted NO for disaster aid would say Dems want to "destroy this country."

GOP corporate funded lies are always about what Dems will do "tomorrow," which most people know never comes.
