See I told you so!
When your military
wear their hats, it is to show pride in their service to you and your country.
When a politician
wears a military hat it is to better themselves by ‘Show and Tell’!
When there is a

"I see Rick
Scott wearing that Navy hat everywhere he goes but let me tell you what he did
to veterans," Alan Madison, a Navy veteran opens the 30-second ad.
Under Scott's tenure
as CEO of Columbia/HCA, the for-profit company was fined $1.7
billion for defrauding millions from Medicare, Medicaid and TRICARE, a
military health care program,
with the Justice
Department states.
The ad specifically
targets the defrauding of the military's health care and his pleading of the
Fifth Amendment during a civil case about the matter.
It even includes
decades-old footage from Scott being deposed under oath.
WASHINGTON -
When there is a
crisis in Florida there is always one thing you can count on: Gov. Rick Scott
in his trademark Navy hat.
The Republican
governor of Florida, who is running for Senate against
incumbent Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson, always seems to have handy the
dark-blue cap emblazoned with "NAVY" on the front.
It's made its way to campaign events for years and
graced television screens this week as millions across the nation
watched Scott give updates on Hurricane Michael's devastation in the
Panhandle.
But now,
the hat is
being used as a target on Scott's record when it comes to veterans and health
care.
An ad by VoteVets,
a
left-leaning veterans group,
rips the governor's former life as head of the
nation's largest private hospital chain.

As you're probably well
aware, Florida governor Rick Scott's Navy ball cap is a regular fixture during
any natural disaster, or pretty much any scenario that requires the governor to
appear as a non-rich guy capable of mingling amongst the proletariat.
Paid for by VoteVets, the ad focuses on Scott's time with
healthcare conglomerate Columbia/HCA, which you might remember as the
company he ran while also overseeing the
largest Medicare fraud in U.S. history. The ad
features Navy veteran Alan Madison, who rips the governor for "defrauding
the military's healthcare program," and how he "pled the fifth and
walked away with a fortune."
"Governor,
this hat represents what the Navy stand for," says Madison in the ad.
"My question for you sir, where's yours?"

Democrats had some
fun with Photoshop after Florida Gov. Rick Scott released an ad promoting term
limits in Congress.
shows Scott, who is
running for U.S. Senate, in front of a white board with an outline of the
United States behind him. Halfway through the ad, Scott puts a red X next to
Washington to illustrate his point that it's "the only place that doesn’t
want term limits."
