The Daily Show Asks Gov. Rick Scott To Urinate In A Cup To Prove He’s Not On Drugs | Earlier this year, Florida Gov. Rick Scott (R) signed a likely unconstitutional law requiring the state’s welfare recipients to take a drug test before they could receive benefits. An effort to save money in a tight budget situation, test runs of the law failed when only 2 percent of the state’s recipients failed the drug test. If those results hold true, the state would save between $40,000 and $60,000 on a program that cost $178 million to implement. During a Scott press conference today, however, The Daily Show’s Aasif Mandvi asked Scott to pass a drug test of his own — by presenting him with a cup to urinate in. Unfortunately, Scott didn’t accede to Mandvi’s demand. Watch it, courtesy of The Shark Tank:
