When the Republican effort to malign President Biden over alleged corruption in Ukraine hit a fever pitch last summer, on July 21, 2023, congressional candidate Joe Kent unambiguously declared on his campaign’s social media outlets:
“Biden took bribe money & leveraged his position as VP to change US policy in a nation we are now sending billions to & risking WW3 for. This is the most egregious & dangerous high crime in US history. Biden & his entire cabinet, Garland, Wray etc all must be impeached now.”
Of course, we now know the Russian FBI informant who was the source of the Republican Party’s claims against the Bidens was arrested last week after being federally indicted for fabricating his serious allegations out of whole cloth. That’s right, folks, it was a big ruse.
Dishonorably, Mr. Kent never recanted the litany of lies he promulgated about the veracity of the 2020 election after they were proven false, and he refers to Trump’s Jan. 6 coup participants as “political prisoners.” Will he now retract his outrageous defamation about President Biden and our sworn ally from the 1994 Budapest Memorandum, or will he continue to be a mouthpiece for Vladimir Putin’s propaganda? Say it ain’t so, Joe.
