Rick Scott Tells GOP Critics to ‘Pipe Down’

Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL), the head of the Senate Republican campaign arm, writes in the Washington Examiner that fellow Republicans should “pipe down” their criticism of the party’s Senate nominees.

Writes Scott: “Unfortunately, many of the very people responsible for losing the Senate last cycle are now trying to stop us from winning the majority this time by trash-talking our Republican candidates. It’s an amazing act of cowardice, and ultimately, it’s treasonous to the conservative cause.”

He added: “If you want to trash-talk our candidates to help the Democrats, pipe down. That’s not what leaders do.”
