Pro-Francis Suarez super PAC flies ‘Prosecute Hunter Biden’ banner near first family’s Delaware beach house
A super PAC backing Miami Mayor Francis Suarez for president took a sky-high shot at scandal-ridden first son Hunter Biden over his father’s Delaware beach house on Friday.
“Prosecute Hunter Biden,” read the red, white and blue banner, which was towed by a plane that made several passes along the beachfront between North Shores and Dewey Beach.
President Biden’s $2.7 million “Summer White House” in Rehoboth Beach sits nearly square in the middle of the plane’s route.
The 80-year-old commander in chief was not at the house at the time.
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!”
The longshot candidate announced earlier Friday that he had met all of the criteria required by the Republican National Committee to qualify for the first GOP primary debate on Aug. 23.
“While our campaign only began a few weeks ago, I am humbled knowing that Republicans from all fifty states have donated to our campaign — nearly 50,000 thus far,” he tweeted.
Suarez had previously suggested that he would drop out of the 2024 race if he didn’t make it onstage for the first debate in Milwaukee.
Hunter Biden’s “sweetheart” plea deal on federal tax and gun crimes, that would’ve likely spared him any jail time, fell apart in a Delaware courtroom last month.
The dramatic July 26 hearing ended with the president’s 53-year-old son entering a not-guilty plea on the charges. He will now likely face trial and perhaps additional charges.
Delaware US Attorney David Weiss, tasked with handling the federal investigation into Hunter Biden, was elevated to special counsel by Attorney General Merrick Garland earlier this month.
On Friday, President Biden laughed off a question from a reporter on the Justice Department’s probe.
“I have no comment on any investigation that’s going on,” the president said when asked about his reaction to Weiss being granted special counsel authority.
“That’s up to the Justice Department. And that’s all I have to say,” he added.
Congressional Republicans are also looking into whether Joe Biden misused his office while vice president to enrich himself or his family and are looking into Weiss’ role in what whistleblowers say was a Justice Department coverup in the five-year-long federal probe into Hunter Biden.

Sussex County blocks state-approved plan for medical marijuana biz to open store
Chip Guy, the Sussex County spokesman, said Stark was mistaken in believing the county was awarding her a building permit.
“To be clear, the county DID NOT issue a building permit,’’ Guy said in an emailed response to questions about The Farm’s bid to put astore in Sussex.
Guy said an official “notified the applicant that the building plan review [tenant fit-out] had cleared initial steps. That is but one step that is part of the process in determining whether to issue a building permit in the first place.”
Guy said the county’s “due diligence’’ found that The Farm’s location simply did not qualify for approval.
Stark remains flabbergasted by the decision, saying she had relied on the state’s approval of the location as well as the state’s identified patient need for that area of Sussex.
“In my mind, when they approved that location and we started spending money and had rent to pay, and drawings put together, and had to start seeking other approvals and permits, it was an established use,” Stark said.
Robert Coupe, the state’s marijuana commissioner, said the state’s hands are tied as long as the current state law remains in effect.
“There’s nothing for me to do. They have to fight that fight,’’ Coupe said of Stark.
Coupe, whose office will soon issue 30 licenses for retail recreational marijuana stores statewide, added that Sussex’s “three-mile buffer, as it currently exists, definitely presents challenges for our selected applicants” in Sussex, where 10 retail licenses will be granted.
“If it appears that it will be difficult for them to find areas to operate, probably a focus for them will be on specific towns that have said they will allow operations,” he said.
Guy, who has not agreed to do any interviews on the Sussex law, wrote last month that he disagrees with the assertion that no parcels exist in unincorporated Sussex for retail stores. Yet he would not identify any permitted sites, or consent to a request by WHYY News to analyze the zoning map to find any.
Stark said she has spoken to a lawyer about her options, and if her efforts fail, is also considering whether to find a site elsewhere in Sussex, perhaps within the town limits of Frankford, which hasn’t banned cannabis stores.
“It’s ridiculous,’’ Stark said of her company’s predicament in Sussex. “And more people just need to know it’s ridiculous.”
