Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.), chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), took a jab at “treasonous” Republicans for “trash talking” GOP Senate candidates.

The statement seemed to be in part a response to comments from Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), who has suggested that “candidate quality” may prevent Republicans from retaking the majority in the upper chamber. Scott and McConnell have feuded on several occasions in the past over election strategy.
