Willie DavidTAMPA, Fla. – Today, the Rick Scott for Florida campaign announced the fourth and final ad as part of a multi-million-dollar Hispanic ad buy.
The fourth ad, “Verdad” is running in multiple TV and radio markets in Florida and statewide across multiple digital platforms as part of the seven-figure buy. “Socialismo,” which was announced last week, is also continuing to run on TV.
The ad discusses how many schools in America are pushing socialism on our children, and how we need to instead teach them the truth about our values as Americans. While Joe Biden, the Democrats and Congresswoman Debbie Mucarsel-Powell continue to embrace socialism and turn a blind eye to dangerous dictators in our hemisphere, Senator Scott has been clear that socialism has no place in America, and especially not in our schools. He remains committed to standing with every Floridian who wants a freer and more prosperous future, and every child who deserves to be taught the truth: America is the greatest nation in the world.
Watch the ad in English HERE.
Watch the ad in Spanish HERE.
Watch the ad above and see the full script here:
As parents, we teach values to our children, the difference between right and wrong, truth and lies.
But then we send our kids to school where some radical socialist teacher doesn’t teach them math or English.
No, they’re taught that men can have babies and become women, and that we should worship the god of Government, not the God who created us.
That is socialism.
I’m Rick Scott, our schools should never undermind our values.
I approve this message.

Como padres le enseñamos valores a nuestros hijos. Lo que está bien y lo que está mal. La verdad y la mentira.
Pero cuando van al colegio maestros socialistas no enseñan matemático o inglés.
No, enseñan que un hombre puede tener un bebé y convertirse en mujer. Que el gobierno debe ser el todo.
¡Eso es socialismo!
Soy Rick Scott, las escuelas no deben socavar nuestros valores.
Yo apruebo este mensaje.

La campaña de Rick Scott para Florida lanza el anuncio final de su campaña publicitaria Hispana multimillonaria
TAMPA, Fla. – La campaña de Rick Scott para Florida anunció el cuarto y último anuncio hoy como parte de una compra multimillonaria de anuncios hispanos.

El anuncio cuenta cómo muchas escuelas en Estados Unidos están promoviendo el socialismo a nuestros hijos, y cómo en cambio debemos enseñarles la verdad sobre nuestros valores como estadounidenses. Mientras Joe Biden, los demócratas y la Congresista Debbie Mucarsel-Powell continúan abrazando el socialismo y haciendo la vista gorda ante dictadores peligrosos en nuestro hemisferio, el Senador Scott ha dejado claro que el socialismo no tiene lugar en Estados Unidos, y mucho menos en nuestras escuelas. El Senador mantiene su compromiso de apoyar a cada floridano que desee un futuro más libre y próspero, y a todo niño que merece ser enseñado con la verdad: Estados Unidos es la mejor nación del mundo.
