Scott made the comment during a Fox News interview about a new bipartisan tariff measure.<\/p>\n

“Americans work five days a week, the minimum we ought to work is seven days a week,” Scott said. “I’m a business guy. Business people have to work every day. We need to work every day to get this stuff done.”<\/p>\n

Social media users reacted to the remark.<\/p>\n

Lawyer and veteran Don Dechert wrote on Bluesky that he took umbrage with the word “we.”<\/p>\n

“The non-royal we; the common folk,” Dechert wrote. “You know, like us. The people who aren’t senators or didn’t dodge the medicare fraud with no jail time.”<\/p>\n

Jesse Schoolnik, former Senate staff and nonprofit lobbyist, wrote on X that Scott’s own source of employment presented a problem.<\/p>\n

“A member of Congress saying everyone else doesn’t work enough,” Schoolnik wrote. “I’d laugh if I didn’t want to cry.”<\/p>\n

Added progressive political commentator Megan McCollough, “Says the guy who works 4 days a week (sometimes).”<\/p>\n

“Yeah if it were up to him and his billionaire donors people would work every day, no holidays, no sick days, no health insurance, no benefits no nothing. He\u2019s a walking poster for why unions and organized labour are so important,” user MMorden, a political commentator with more than 20,000 followers, wrote on Bluesky.<\/p>\n
