Lincoln Day Dinner: DeSantis slams Hunter Biden, claims no pocket-filling for his son.
Gov. Ron DeSantis Criticizes Hunter Biden’s Foreign Business Dealings
During the Iowa Republican Party’s Lincoln Day dinner in Des Moines, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) took aim at Hunter Biden’s controversial foreign business dealings. With the recent collapse of Biden’s federal tax and gun crime plea deal in court, DeSantis didn’t hold back in his criticism.
“My son is only 5 years old, so he’s not going to be lining his pockets with money from foreign governments,” DeSantis stated.
DeSantis’s Strong Stance on Border and Public Health Policies
The audience at the dinner responded enthusiastically to DeSantis’s strong stance on border security and public health policies. His anti-government weaponization position also garnered a boisterous reaction.
“You don’t coddle bureaucrats like Dr. Anthony Fauci,” DeSantis declared, referring to the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. “You bring them in and say, ‘You are fired.'”
Earlier in the day, DeSantis distanced himself from former President Donald Trump’s legal troubles and addressed criticism regarding the Florida Board of Education’s new black teaching standards. These standards were changed to align school curricula with DeSantis’s Stop WOKE Act.
“When they’re shooting at you, the way you handle it is not shoot yourself in the foot and then make sure you keep your eye on the ball,” DeSantis explained after a small business stop in Albia. “So that is what we’re gonna do: keep our eye on the ball, stay focused on the mission, and deliver results for the American people.”
