Going for the Human Trafficker Vote
Florida Governor and Voldemort impersonator Rick "Not Great" Scott isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier. Case in point: his crack advertising team created a campaign commercial that shows a convicted human trafficker endorsing him. Maikel Duarte-Torres, who was convicted in 2011 of trying to smuggle two Cuban girls from St. Maarten to Miami, is shown in the now-withdrawn ad embracing Not Great Scott and exclaiming, "He's created jobs…I'm just like him…" Why, yes, you are. Excuse us; bwahahaha!
Not Great Scott, who is running for re-election, has a shady history himself, having run a health care company involved in the U.S.'s biggest Medicare fraud case. Birds of a feather.
