Rick Scott (R-FL) slammed Democrat President Joe Biden in a statement Tuesday over his mental fitness for office \u2014 an attack that the president quickly showed was a legitimate concern.<\/p>\n<p>Biden attacked Scott last week for criticizing the administration\u2019s economic plans, adding that supporters of former President Donald Trump\u2019s policies were \u201cthe most extreme political organization that\u2019s existed\u201d in recent American history.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSenator Rick Scott of Florida \u2026 released what he calls the ultra-MAGA agenda. It\u2019s a MAGA agenda all right,\u201d Biden <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2022\/05\/04\/biden-maga-extreme-political-organization-00029969\">claimed<\/a>. \u201cLet me tell you about this ultra-MAGA agenda. It\u2019s extreme, as most MAGA things are.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ahead of Biden\u2019s remarks on Tuesday, Scott released a statement slamming Biden\u2019s mental fitness for office, saying that he should resign.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wordsection1\">\u201cLet\u2019s be honest here. Joe Biden is unwell. He\u2019s unfit for office. He\u2019s incoherent, incapacitated and confused. He doesn\u2019t know where he is half the time. He\u2019s incapable of leading and he\u2019s incapable of carrying out his duties. Period,\u201d Scott said.\u00a0\u201cEveryone knows it. No one is willing to say it. But we have to, for the sake of the country. Joe Biden can\u2019t do the job.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Scott said that if Biden wanted to solve the inflation crisis that has unfolded during his administration, the \u201cquick and easy solution\u201d is to have Biden resign.<\/p>\n<p>Scott included a tweet in his statement from Washington Post fact-checker Glenn Kessler that pointed out that Biden\u2019s speech was centered around blatant false claims attacking Republicans.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\ud83d\udc40\ud83d\udc40\ud83d\udc40\ud83d\udc40when the WH&#8217;s week-ahead schedule shows the president will repeat a false claim that already earned Three Pinocchios (barely missing Four). <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/UeDQ67XwK6\">https:\/\/t.co\/UeDQ67XwK6<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Jqc7R6ICIL\">pic.twitter.com\/Jqc7R6ICIL<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Glenn Kessler (@GlennKesslerWP) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GlennKesslerWP\/status\/1523656783168180226?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 9, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Shortly after Scott released his statement, Biden attacked him during his speech and forgot what state Scott represents in the U.S. Senate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSenator Rick Scott of Wisconsin, a member of the Senate Republican leadership, laid it all out in a plan,\u201d Biden said. \u201cIt\u2019s the Ultra-MAGA agenda.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Biden was later asked by a reporter during the press conference about Scott\u2019s comments.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou called out Rick Scott a little while ago in your remarks,\u201d the reporter said. \u201cEarlier today, anticipating your remarks, he said \u2014 and I\u2019m just quoting here \u2014 that the best thing \u2014 \u2018the most effective thing Joe Biden can do to solve the inflation crisis he created is resign.
