DeSantis says Hunter Biden would be in jail if he was Republican

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis slammed Hunter Biden during an appearance on Fox News Monday — claiming the first son would already be in the slammer if he was Republican.

“If Hunter were a Republican, he’d be in jail by now,” the GOP presidential candidate said on “Special Report.”

Fox News Anchor Bret Baier asked DeSantis his reaction to former Hunter Biden business partner Devon Archer’s recent testimony that the president sat in on calls with foreign patrons.

The governor said there are “two standards of justice.”

“You look at all this smoke, and yet the FBI, where’s the search warrants? Where’s the grand jury? Where’s the aggressiveness that they have shown going after some Republicans? You just don’t see it,” he said.

He added that the FBI went after his opponent, ex-President Donald Trump, aggressively but did not show the same thoroughness to Democrats Hillary Clinton and now Hunter Biden.

DeSantis then mocked the first son’s budding art career.

“But look at all the possible corruption. I mean, Hunter, he’s selling paintings for over a million dollars?” he said. “My 6-year-old daughter does better paintings than him. Maybe we will put ours up and see what kind of things she can fetch.”

DeSantis’ wife Casey tweeted an image of their daughter’s artwork in response to her husband’s remarks.

“Fact Check: True,” she said. “Madison’s Art Rocks.”

The Sunshine State leader also took a shot at Trump while slamming the Bidens.

“Look, Donald Trump was president for four years,” DeSantis said. “This problem got worse under him. He did not succeed in draining the swamp.”

He claimed that he would clean up Washington DC “very, very quickly.”

The Republican also said that he does not believe Trump could beat President Biden in a general election after his first loss.

“I think that there’s too many voters who just aren’t going to vote for him going forward,” he said.

He also claimed that it’s not just the voters who don’t support Trump, but potential leaders who he’d need to be within his administration.

“If you want to slay this administrative state, you got to be disciplined, you got to be focused, and you got to have people surrounding you that are going to go and support the mission,” DeSantis said. “I think the former president would have a very difficult time getting the type of personnel to join the administration that you would need to actually bring this stuff to fruition.”
