Overview
- Scott, who posted the photo Saturday, addressed TMZ and said he was at Disney with his grandkids and that he does not set the schedule in D.C.
- TMZ has asked the public to send photos of vacationing members of Congress to highlight inaction as thousands of federal employees, including TSA officers, go without pay.
- Following Scott's message, TMZ replied that leaders told lawmakers to leave for recess but argued members failed to compromise for two months as workers missed paychecks.
- Congress left Washington for a two‑week recess without a DHS deal, after the House rejected a Senate bipartisan plan and leaders floated a two‑track approach to funding.
- Critics also noted Scott's 2022 op‑ed pledging to boycott what he called a 'woke' Disney, portraying his return to the park as a reversal.
