Twitter users are mocking Donald Trump after Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) shared a photo of a so-called “Champion of Freedom Award” that was given to the former president after he called Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell a “dumb son of a bitch” over the weekend.
The National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) promoted the event by retweeting Scott’s photo on Monday, triggering an avalanche of negative comments.
Some commenters accused the NRSC of inventing the award as a ruse to stage a photo op between Trump and Scott.
Check some reactions below.
This weekend I was proud to recognize President Donald Trump with the inaugural @NRSC Champion for Freedom Award.
President Trump fought for American workers, secured the border, and protected our constitutional rights. https://t.co/4jjy88FRVr pic.twitter.com/A9I2sATdkn

You realize he'll turn his back on you, call you names, insult your family, and deny even knowing you the SECOND you become embroiled in a scandal, publicly disagree with him, or ever say something unflattering about him. You know that … right??🤨

Scott probably has some dirt he don't want anyone to know about.

This is embarrassing. Y'all made up an award and then gave it to him. Do you not see how your entire identity is wrapped in praising this man. That's it.

Also led a riot of the Capitol with the intention of murdering his Vice President of the United States. Good show!

Doesn't it seem a little odd that the guy receiving the inaugural Champion for Freedom Award incited a violent insurrection to overturn the results of a free and fair presidential election, just four months ago?
Is it just me?

The GOP is just too funny…you give Trump an award from the National Republican Senate the same day he insults the Republican leader.
We Democrats have our flaws but you guys are just plain flat-out fucking crazy.

Trump was presented with the wrong award. The summary should read:

OmG! What kind of person worships a morally and ethically bankrupt man… Mr Scott, you know the answer. You truly love your cult leader.
