Assessments
The claim is specifically that Rick Scott would introduce a bill called the Tiananmen Square Memorial Act to rename the street outside the Chinese Embassy and change the embassy’s address. The available evidence does not show that Scott introduced such a bill. Official Rick Scott press-release archive pages contain no Tiananmen reference, and broader legislative/news indexing surfaces other embassy-renaming efforts by different lawmakers, such as Ted Cruz’s Liu Xiaobo Plaza bills and later Li Wenliang proposals, rather than a Scott-led Tiananmen Square Memorial Act. Because the promised action was bill introduction itself, and there is no documented record that Scott carried it out or made a serious identifiable attempt short of introduction, the promise is best judged not delivered.
