Controversy
On August 6, 2009 Scott lost his temper at a townhall meeting over health care after being asked tough questions over health care reform. Scott then accused his audience of not even being constituents in his district.
He then yelled at the audience "not one single one of you had the decency to call my office and set up for a meeting. Do that! You wanna meeting with me on healthcare, I’ll give you one."
The man asking the questions was Dr. Brian E. Hill, an opponent of government-run health care, who was in fact a constituent and contected Scott’s office on numerous occasions asking whether his representative is going to host any healthcare events. He was told no. [2]
