Florida Governor Rick Scott called for the resignation of FBI Director Christopher Wray on Friday, Feb. 16, hours after the FBI admitted to ignoring a tip about school shooting suspect Nikolas Cruz last month.

“We constantly promote ‘see something, say something,’ and a courageous person did just that to the FBI. And the FBI failed to act,” Scott said in a statement, according to the New York Post.
