Republican Governor Choses Sexual Assault Awareness Month to Veto funds for Rape Crisis Centers

From the department of you really can’t make this stuff up:

Florida Gov. Rick Scott (R) shocked the Florida Council Against Sexual Violence this week when he vetoed $1.5 million in funding for 30 rape crisis centers in the middle of Sexual Assault Awareness Month. State lawmakers allotted the money to offset an increase in need and a lack of sufficient funding for victim services.

I’m starting to wonder if Republicans are actively trying to lose the election or are really this tone deaf.
