Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) said that he is issuing what he described as a “formal travel advisory for socialists visiting Florida” in response to a controversial advisory that was released by the NAACP earlier this week.
“The state of Florida devalues and marginalizes the contributions of, and the challenges faced by socialists and others who work in the Biden Administration,” Scott, a former Republican governor, said in a press release. He added that the state is “openly hostile” to socialists and their backers.
