DeSantis PAC’s Ad: Biden Accused of Receiving Millions Secretly

DeSantis-aligned PAC Attacks Biden Over Bribery Allegations

Never Back Down, a PAC aligned with Governor Ron DeSantis, released a scathing ad on Tuesday targeting President Joe Biden. The ad accuses Biden of accepting $5 million in bribes from a Ukrainian oligarch.

The ad focuses on allegations that Biden and his son, Hunter, accepted bribe money from the Ukrainian energy company Burisma. These allegations were uncovered by Republican investigators in Congress through an FBI confidential human source report. The ad criticizes the Biden administration for a perceived double-standard in enforcing laws and presents Governor Ron DeSantis as the candidate who can fix a broken justice system.

The ad begins with a powerful statement:

“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. And when a Ukrainian prosecutor tried to investigate Burisma’s corruption, Biden bribed Ukraine’s president to fire the prosecutor.”

The prosecutor in question was Viktor Shokin, Ukraine’s former prosecutor general, who Biden, as U.S. vice president, played a role in ousting in 2016. Shokin was suspected of corruption and lacked international trust. He was also investigating Burisma while Hunter Biden served 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 later recounted at a Council on Foreign Relations event in 2018.

The ad suggests that Trump’s first impeachment was 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 claims. “And Biden’s DOJ? They don’t care. Is Biden hiding the evidence of his get rich quick scheme?”

The ad then highlights DeSantis as the candidate who can rein in a rogue Justice Department and FBI. DeSantis recently unveiled his plan to reform the Justice Department.

“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 concludes.
