ABC News' report on former Vice President Joe Biden and his family's questionable links to foreign business deals in Ukraine and China is an attempt to take the 2020 Democratic presidential frontrunner out, says conservative radio show host Rush Limbaugh.
"That's it, folks. If ABC News is going after the Hunter Biden-ChiCom-Ukraine scandal, it's over," Limbaugh said on his show Thursday. "Somebody in the Democrat-media complex has decided it's time to take Plugs out. Don't know the specific reason. We've been talking about these deals. Conservative media has educated their audiences on all of this China, Ukraine, Joe Biden setting his sons up to become obscenely wealthy. Nobody was interested. Now, all of a sudden, out of the clear blue . . . It's not in the clear blue."
ABC News' Tom Llamas on "Good Morning America" on Thursday brought up son Hunter Biden's role in a Chinese investment fund and his appointment to a Ukrainian natural gas company that was under investigation.
"Somebody's decided it's time to take [Biden] out. I'm not makin' this up," Limbaugh said. "They could have done this story any time. But the one thing, the one thing the Democrat Party cannot ever permit is to have anybody in it appear to be even understanding or respectful or friendly with people who they claim are racist, sexist, bigots, homophobes, and what have you. This is how the Drive-By Media gets you when they decide they're gonna get you. This doesn't happen to Democrats, folks."
