Fred Guttenberg on Gun Control: Governor Rick Scott Doesn’t Exist Anymore

EXCERPT:

GUTTENBERG: "I love Sen. Murphy and I love his optimism, and I know he’s working 24/7 at this right now, and yet you still can’t find ten Republicans to do this, and I don’t think he will. I think this party is hell-bent on thwarting the will of what the majority of America wants for whatever reason. When I — and I’ll give you two reasons why I’m less optimistic than he is. One, the leader, Mitch McConnell still won’t say the word 'gun,' and two, Gov. Rick Scott, who came to Jamie’s funeral, who I spoke with on a really regular basis to pass legislation in Florida and, in fact, he led the way, he led the way as governor in Florida to do really important things to raise the age of 21, to pass red-flag laws, to do a waiting period, Gov. Rick Scott doesn’t exist anymore and Sen. Rick Scott is running away from the Gov. Rick Scott. Sen. Rick Scott wants nothing to do with this. That to me is a tell-tale sign that this is going to be an issue that we, Americans, will have to vote on.”
