The first GOP debate is set for August 23 and some Republicans are scrambling to position themselves to break out from the pack. All of them at this point are lagging far behind former President Donald Trump who will not be attending the debate. So they have to be thinking about what can they do at this point to get more attention and have people think them worthy of consideration.
A super PAC for Miami Mayor Francis Suarez thought of a unique way to get attention while making a big point to Joe Biden.
They flew a plane over the beach and right over the area where Joe Biden's Rehoboth Beach house is, making several passes between North Shores and Dewey Beach on Friday. The plane was dragging a big banner that said, "Prosecute Hunter Biden."
Biden was at Camp David on Friday before flying out to Lake Tahoe, so he wasn't in Rehoboth Beach. He's now in Maui, making remarks on the disaster there and botching them badly. He made jokes, butchered the names of senators and representatives, and then completely zoned out at the end of the speech.
But still, the Suarez people did manage to make a great point, creatively.
The stunt was organized by SOS America PAC, which pledged to fly the banner if 1,000 people donated to Suarez’s 2024 Republican presidential campaign.
“Hunter Biden should be behind bars. Joe Biden has abused the power of the President to protect Hunter, and the world needs to know,” the group wrote on a page soliciting donations for the 45-year-old candidate.
So give $1 today and watch us fly this banner over Joe Biden’s beach house in Delaware to tell the world: LOCK HIM UP!”
Now, it's not clear if he's met the debate criteria yet. Suarez claimed on Friday that he had, but the RNC has not as yet confirmed that. He said if he didn't he would drop out. But it looks like he's certainly trying hard to get attention to make it to the stage and I'll have to give his people points for creativity. He's flying the sentiment we all feel about the Biden family scandal, that it's past time for it to be properly pursued. Not just regarding Hunter Biden, but regarding Joe Biden as well, since he's the object/brand that was being sold to help Hunter with his foreign business deals. There's so much there that has been ignored for so long that needs a proper investigation and people to be held properly accountable.
It's unclear if Suarez, Will Hurd, Larry Elder, and Perry Johnson meet the requirements. Ron DeSantis, Nikki Haley, Asa Hutchinson, Tim Scott, Vivek Ramaswamy, Doug Burgum, Mike Pence, and Chris Christie have all qualified.
