A few days ago, a video of Florida’s Republican Gov. Rick Scott being shouted down by an angry woman in a Starbucks went viral.
The woman, who was working on her laptop, immediately started screaming obscenities at Scott as he entered the coffee shop. The governor apparently didn’t have anything nice to say, so he said nothing at all and stormed out the door – without his coffee.
The super PAC that supported his 2014 reelection must have had some money left over and they chose to spend it on hunting down the woman and laying into her with an attack ad.
In the ad, the narrator says the “terribly rude” woman, identified as Cara Jennings, “clearly has a problem.” Well that much is obvious – her problem is clearly with Rick Scott. The narrator then claims she was an anarchist who refuses to say the Pledge of Allegiance.
“A million jobs?” Jennings screams at Scott, “Great, who here has a great job?”
The super PAC’s narrator chimes in, “Well, almost everybody – except those that are sitting around coffee shops, demanding public assistance, surfing the Internet and cursing at customers who come in.”
After the original video went viral, Jennings invited Scott out for a cup of coffee so they could discuss Planned Parenthood, voting disenfranchisement, increasing the minimum wage, climate change and deaths in the Florida prison system.
But as soon as the attack ad went out, she told the Sun Sentinel, “So I guess this means that he doesn’t want to meet me for coffee."
Yeah, probably not.
