The Republican National Committee (RNC) hits one out of the park with a new ad about Vice President Joe Biden.
Released Sunday, the ad focuses on the Biden-Ukraine corruption scandal.
The ad opens with ABC’s Tom Llamas asking, “Was Hunter Biden profiting off his dad’s work as vice president, and did Joe Biden allow it?”
The video cuts to the New Yorker’s Adam Entous saying, “I think there’s two separate issues here. The issue of whether it was wise of Hunter Biden to take this position at Burisma when his father was guiding policy in Ukraine — and, you know, the wisdom of Biden and Biden staffers, once they knew that, not to ask Hunter to step down. I think that’s a legitimate subject of scrutiny,” as The Daily Wire and others have pointed out.
The next clip shows Ian Bremmer, head of the Eurasia Group and an editor-at-large at Time magazine, who says “$50,000 a month for Hunter Biden – clearly to be selling influence because otherwise, no one would ever pay him that kind of money – for a company that, frankly, was pretty corrupt and has been before and has been since under investigation … It’s hard to imagine Joe Biden wasn’t aware of it.”
After several more quick clips, Rep. Vicente González, a Democrat, says on CNN: “Look, clearly something needs to be cleared up. So yes, of course I would want an explanation on that.”
Then HBO’s Bill Maher, a uber liberal, says about Biden’s son: “This kid was paid $600,000 because his name is Biden by a gas company in Ukraine, this super-corrupt country that just had a revolution to get rid of corruption. It just looks bad.”
The ad closes with a screenshot that says: “Joe Biden, What are you hiding?”
That ad follows another from his re-election campaign.
“Joe Biden promised Ukraine a billion dollars if they fired the prosecutor investigating his son’s company,” a narrator says as the screen cuts to Biden discussing his push for the Ukrainian government to fire Viktor Shokin, a prosecutor who was looking into the business dealings of a company at which Hunter Biden was paid $50,000 a month.
“If the prosecutor is not fired, you’re not getting the money. Well son of a bitch, he got fired,” Biden says in the ad, beaming a broad smile. The ad then cuts back to the narrator, who says, “But when President Trump asks Ukraine to investigate corruption, the Democrats want to impeach him. And their media lap dogs fall in line. They lost the [2016] election. Now, they want to steal this one. Don’t let them.”
The post says, “QUID PRO JOE!” Watch below.
