Florida Politicians React to Hunter Biden Guilty Plea

Share

After the news broke concerning President Joe Biden’s (D) son, Hunter Biden pleading guilty to three criminal charges including two misdemeanor tax-evasion charges and a felony gun possession charge, Florida politicians responded to the development.

According to initial reports by NBC News, it appears that Hunter Biden will not face any jail time as long as he “meets certain conditions.”

While Governor and presidential candidate Ron DeSantis (R) was on the campaign trail, he stated that Hunter has received “a sweetheart deal.”

“Two different sets of rules, depending on whether you’re a member in good standing of elite society or not. If Hunter were a Republican, he would’ve been in jail years ago,” stated Gov. DeSantis.

Representative Byron Donalds (R-FL) mentioned that the justice system works a lot more efficiently when looking to prosecute a Republican and that the “wheels of justice” turn slower for Democrats and their associates.

“Like I said, when Democrats are investigated everything is slow walked and it ends with a slap on the wrist. Don’t believe me? Just look at Hunter Biden. Three questions: When does evading millions in federal income taxes get a slap on the wrist? (Ask Wesley Snipes) 2. Did Hunter Biden pay his fair share on those millions? (Thoughts AOC?) 3. POTUS, where is YOUR $5M from Burisma?” tweeted Rep. Donalds.

Congressman Donalds went on Fox News to share his feelings towards the justice system in America when it comes to high-ranking politicians.

“When it comes to Donald Trump, the wheels of ‘justice’ turn very, very fast. Some would say recklessly. Most would say completely out of control and political. But when it comes to Joe Biden, when it comes to Hillary Clinton, or any Democrat, they turn very, very slowly. There’s a lengthy investigation that typically ends up nowhere, mostly with a slap on the wrist and Americans are sick of it.”

Senator Rick Scott (R-FL) called the outcome of Hunter’s plea deal a “slap on the wrist” and a “mockery of our legal system.”

“A slap on the wrist for Hunter Biden while ‘The Big Guy’ continues to hunt down his top political opponent. This doesn’t show equal justice. It’s a mockery of our legal system by a family that has no respect for our laws,” stated Sen. Scott.

This is a developing story.
