“A trophy of literal participation”
US Senator Rick Scott (R-FL) and Donald Trump are heating up after the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), which the Florida Senator currently chairs, created a new award, the Champion for Freedom, specifically for the former president. who instigated a rebellion to overthrow a free and fair election.
“This award is given to conservative leaders who have worked tirelessly to create good jobs, protect the values that make our country great, and stop the Democrats’ socialist agenda,” the NRSC said in a press release.
Jake Sherman, founder of Punchbowl News, notes that the award comes after Trump called the country’s highest elected Republican a “stupid son of a bitch,” which he did on Saturday.
The @NRSC presented Donald Trump with an award. Over the weekend, Trump called @LeaderMcConnell – Senate Gop Leader – a stupid son of a bitch. Below is the photo of @SenRickScott giving the award to Trump, contained in an email the nrsc sent out this morning. pic.twitter.com/VCr3a4gy0C

I still can’t believe Republicans let Trump go for treason. They had him attack the US Capitol in broad daylight in an attempt to overthrow the election / government. Then he gets a treason trophy for it. Their gall is only matched by their contempt for the American people who fail them

So they came up with an award to caress the ego of their dear guide. How fitting.

Now are you making up awards so that he can feel special? Is his ego really that fragile?
