American Greatness: “Weekend at Bernie’s” rumors are swirling in Georgia as an elderly Democrat congressman runs for reelection without debating his Republican rival, or campaigning.
Rep. David Scott, 77, has made no public appearance in the past month, and some Republicans are now wondering if he’s even alive.
Scott was last seen in public at a Financial Services Committee hearing in Washington D.C. on September 21.
Two videos featuring the congressman were posted on his YouTube channel in October, but it’s not clear when they were recorded. The latest one on October 28 shows Scott delivering remarks on the Inaugural Black Farmers Ball while sitting in front of a window with green-leaved trees in the background. However, according to Scott’s opponent, GOP candidate Caesar Gonzales, the trees in Atlanta are displaying Autumn colors right now.
Gonzales told American Greatness that he has heard from multiple Democrat sources who have told him that Scott is currently in hospice. Another source allegedly said the congressman is “on ice in Annapolis.”
Gonzales noted it would be easy to dismiss one or two of these rumors, but since he’s heard it from six different individuals, it’s worth looking into.
“Where there’s smoke, there’s fire,” he said. MORE
His death will be announced after the election, which he will “win,” and his wife or daughter will be seated as rep.
Sorry, it’s the cynic in me.
Dead voters.
Dead representatives.
Dead politics.
Dead party.
You’d think my work was done, but, nooooo.
File an habeas corpus lawsuit.
Judicial Watch?,
Tom Fitton?
So the upshot is that Congressman Scott is now more qualified than the President.
If he were to die and get re-elected, the Governor cannot appoint family member. It would have to be a special election.
Special election.
