"Because they are building missiles and wanted to kill all of us, Scott told her. She replied that U.S. intelligence said Iran was no threat to the country. Scott said that was bogus and asked whether she ever followed the news. He said Iran's theocratic regime had been working on building its nuclear program and riled up supporters with its Death to America rally cry."
"Oh, so people that are building weapons and say they want to destroy America and we shouldn't take them seriously? How dumb are you? How dumb are you? Scott fired back. He then asked, You think that it's okay for people to say they want to destroy us and it's okay, we should just ignore that?"
"Show me a @codepink protestor, and I'll show you someone who hates America, loves our enemies and denies reality. @medeabenjamin, I know how upset you are about the death of your dear leader, the Ayatollah, but I'm not sorry for your loss."
Senator Rick Scott engaged in a heated confrontation with a Code Pink protester wearing a "Peace With Iran" shirt who questioned why the U.S. is at war with Iran. Scott argued that Iran is building missiles and poses a threat to America, citing the country's nuclear program development and anti-American rhetoric. The protester countered that U.S. intelligence indicates Iran is not a threat and that Iran's "Death to America" statements are merely slogans without actionable intent. Scott dismissed this perspective as ignorant, questioning how one could ignore threats from a nation building weapons while expressing desire to destroy America. The exchange ended when Scott walked away. Scott later posted the video on social media, characterizing Code Pink protesters as people who hate America and love enemies.
