Rick Scott says 'Fire politicians!', twitter wonders if he should be the first one
“This year we get to fire the politicians!” Florida Governor Rick Scott told the crowd on the third day of the Republican National Convention. It was well received, but some on the internet were quick to point out that the governor himself, is in fact a politician.
If there’s one thing that the internet loves, it’s a failure to understand irony. Case in point: Florida Governor Rick Scott proudly announcing plans to fire the politicians. Given that this came from a politician, it received mixed reviews on Twitter.
Can Mike Pence and Rick Scott be the first two to be fired? https://t.co/kntbj5Ng1z

I always find it ironic when politicians say with excitement, "It's time to fire the politicians!" just like Rick Scott just did #RNCinCLE

He also said, “The Democrats have not led us to a crossroads, they have led us to a cliff,” provoking further disdainful responses.
