GOP Senator Suggests Biden Is ‘Compromised’ by China Because He ‘Won’t Stand Up to Dictators’

GOP Florida Sen. Rick Scott on Sunday accused President Biden of repeatedly “pacifying” China and suggested the commander in chief may be “compromised” somehow by the Communist country.

Scott told John Catsimatidis on his WABC 770 AM radio show that no American company should be doing business in China or Russia, saying the US must “focus on what’s good for America, what’s good for Americans, what’s good for our children, our grandchildren.

“​All that Biden does is pacify China. I mean, I don’t know why he does it​. I don’t know if he’s compromised. I don’t know what it is​. But ​this is a guy that won’t stand up to dictators around the world​,” Scott said.

The president has had to deflect questions for months about his role in first son Hunter Biden’s business dealings in Ukraine and China, which were first reported by The Post in October and November 2020.

Scott reiterated comments he made on Twitter last week in response to a poll that showed Americans are now more concerned with China’s influence around the world than Russia’s, and that 58% disapprove of how Biden is handling relations with Beijing.

Rick Scott Launches Leadership Challenge to McConnell

Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., launched a bid for Senate leader on Tuesday, challenging current Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell for the top spot in the Republican conference.

“I’m writing to you today because I believe it’s time for the Senate Republican Conference to be far more bold and resolute than we have been in the past,” Scott wrote in a letter to colleagues. “If you simply want to stick with the status quo, don’t vote for me.”

Scott’s challenge comes a week after the midterm elections yielded disappointing results for Republicans who had anticipated a wave election that would produce powerful GOP majorities in the House and Senate. On Monday, however, Democrats cemented another two years as the majority in the upper chamber after the Nevada Senate race was called for incumbent Sen. Catherine Cortez-Masto. The House was called for Republicans moments before former President Donald Trump took the podium to announce his third consecutive run for the White House on Tuesday.

Scott’s move to rival McConnell also comes after the incumbent leader tasked with reclaiming the Senate undermined GOP chances for a Republican majority. In September, as the fall midterms heated up, McConnell complained about “candidate quality” when discussing Republican nominees.
