Rick Scott, a prominent political figure, recently took to social media to express his views on international and domestic issues. His tweets covered topics ranging from political violence in Colombia to U.S. foreign policy stances and support for the current administration.

On June 11, 2025, Rick Scott commented on the political situation in Colombia. He highlighted recent violent incidents, stating: “Between an assassination attempt on Miguel Uribe’s life, threats to Álvaro Uribe, and now multiple explosions, Pres. Petro should remember the days of Biden’s weak appeasement policies are over.” Scott further mentioned that there is a “new sheriff in town,” referring to President Trump and Secretary Rubio’s stance.

In another tweet posted on the same day at almost the same time, Scott reiterated his statement in Spanish: “Entre el atentado contra la vida de Miguel Uribe, las amenazas a Álvaro Uribe y ahora múltiples explosiones, el Presidente Petro debería recordar que los días de las débiles políticas de apacitamiento de Biden han terminado.” This repetition emphasizes his concern over the issue and highlights his support for a change in approach under new leadership.

Later that day, at 15:57 UTC, Rick Scott expressed gratitude towards the President of the United States with a brief message: “Promises made, promises kept. Thank you, @POTUS! “ This tweet indicates his approval of actions taken by the current administration.
