DeSantis-aligned PAC Never Back Down released a blistering ad on Tuesday attacking President Joe Biden over allegations that he allegedly accepted $5 million in bribes from a Ukrainian oligarch.
The ad accuses of the Biden and his son, Hunter, of accepting bribe money from the Ukrainian energy company Burisma, drawing on allegations made in an FBI confidential human source report uncovered by Republican investigators in Congress. The ad accuses the Biden administration of holding a double-standard in enforcing laws, and touts Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who is running for president, as the candidate to fix a broken justice system. “For years, the Biden crime family cashed in on Joe’s influence and power, especially in Ukraine where Hunter and Joe secretly received millions of dollars in bribes from the gas company Burisma,” the ad begins. “And when a Ukrainian prosecutor tried to investigate Burisma’s corruption, Biden bribed Ukraine’s president to fire the prosecutor.”
The prosecutor was Ukraine’s former prosecutor general, Viktor Shokin, who Biden, as U.S. vice president, had a hand in ousting in 2016. Shokin was under suspicion of corruption and widely mistrusted internationally. He was also pushing an investigation into Burisma while Hunter Biden sat on the company’s board.
Then-Vice President Biden threatened to withhold $1 billion in U.S. loan guarantees from then-Ukraine President Petro Poroshenko unless Shokin was fired.
“Well, son of a b****, he got fired,” Biden related later at a Council on Foreign Relations event in 2018.
The DeSantis ad suggested that Trump’s first impeachment was part of an attempt to cover up corruption and protect Biden.
“When Trump tried to get to the bottom of it, Democrats impeached him and the FBI hid Hunter’s laptop, burying the damning evidence it contained. Now, we know Biden is hoarding classified documents,” the ad says. “And Biden’s DOJ? They don’t care. Is Biden hiding the evidence of his get rich quick scheme?”
The ad then touts DeSantis as the candidate to rein in a rogue Justice Department and FBI. DeSantis released his plan to reform the Justice Department earlier this week.
“We need a president who will get to the bottom of it and end the weaponization of our justice system. Ron DeSantis will,” the ad says.
Will American voters ever see this ad?
So what? DeSantis is owned by the GOP establishment and GOP establishment has known how crooked Biden is for decades and doesn’t care.
We need to be hitting this issue hard.
Why are you “firing” on someone who is firing on Biden?
We really shouldn’t engage in setting up circular firing squads. IMHO, of course.
Please cite for me PRECISELY any GOPe decisions, governing positions, leadership choices Desantis made while Governor of the State he has exceptionally managed. Now, before you go on with who his donors are be careful, because I can give you dozens where if you apply the same litmus test to Trump then you must say the same thing. We’re not even covering appointments. That’s a whole different ball of wax. Instead of just chirping something and implying Desantis is something he is completely not, how about you feel grateful we have BOTH exceptional leaders fully capable that are running. This is like a candidate dream team. We win hugely with either!
You... are... a... broken... record! DeSantis is pretty amazing, but, you know, facts seem immune to you. So, yeah 😑🙄
This.
Every Trump supporter says the deep state wants to put President Trump in jail. Have they ever considered the deep state may have President Trump killed outright?
Last I knew Trump's security team reported to the deep state. Not to mention those “lone wolves” that seem to pop up at inopportune times.
If so, then what? Write Trump's name on the ballot next year?
That is not a winning strategy. We need a conservative bench that is two and three deep, meaning someone capable of picking up and running if the worse happens. Someone with a support team and maybe 80 million dollars in the bank.
I don't claim to be smart but even grandpa and grandma need a succession plan for the farm.
Of course. They love RDS! Right. *cough*
It is on Twitter, so many will.
It is on Twitter, so many will.
DeSantis and Trump are both part of the republican establishment. Evidently yes.
However they are not part of the deep state. Thats all that matters.
Putin is the super ultra pro-government Russian deep-state guy though!
He told Wagner Prigozhin to sign a contract to have his private army nationalized (socialist commie style is back in force)! Thats why Prigozhin is mocking Putin openly every day now and has told him to “shove it”.
It’s time to understand that Russia is on the verge of a civil war.
It’s bad news for the entire planet. No one wants Russia to implode to such a degree. Wagner and the 39 other private armies in Russia have become a huge menace for the Kremlin deep-staters. tic toc... tic toc....
Well stated, Jarhead. Thank you.
Kazan seem to be working for the Kremlin.
He always tries to divide Republicans here. Just look at his past comments.
WOW.....WOWEEEEEEE.
This is both shocking and exhilarating.
Good grief ...someone should have thought of this LONG AGO
DeSantis Transfers $83 Million Raised for Governor Race to National Campaign PAC
I bet team desantis says it's entirely legal,
but then, what do you expect from desantis or his campaign, that's been shown to lie about things.
I expect nothing less from neocon scumbag that supports the proxy war in Ukraine.
Half the voters get their education from television.
Simply true, but desperation doesn’t care.
TV, the corrupt Hollywood media and government school systems, to name a few.
