Former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi mocked Joe Biden’s economic presidential slogan “Build Back Better” during her Republican National Convention speech Tuesday evening.
“If they want to make this election a choice between who’s saving America and who’s swindling America, bring it on,” Bondi said. “Joe says he will build back better. Yeah, build the Bidens back better.”
Bondi also criticized the former vice president’s son, Hunter Biden, for corruption over his foreign business ties.
“A corrupt Ukrainian oligarch put Hunter on the board of his gas company even though he had no experience in Ukraine or in the energy sector. None. Yet he was paid millions to do nothing,” Bondi said of Hunter Biden joining Ukraine-based Burisma Holdings’s board in 2014.
“He only had one qualification that mattered. He was the son of the man in charge of distributing U.S. aid to Ukraine,” Bondi said.
“Joe Biden flew to China on Air Force Two with Hunter along for the ride,” Bondi said. “In Beijing, Hunter didn’t just go sightseeing. He had meetings with his Chinese bank partners.”
The New York Times fact-checked her remarks, finding them “misleading,” writing that “Hunter’s lawyer has said that he has never been paid for his role on the board and has not profited financially since he began as a part-owner.”
“For Joe Biden, it’s been the land of opportunism, not opportunity,” Bondi added during the speech.
The Republican National Convention is scheduled to kick off its third night on Wednesday evening and is slated to feature speakers such as Vice President Mike Pence, White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany, and South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem.
