Hello Celticguy,
Absolutely not; but I do agree it is disrespectful to try to put words in somebody else's mouth.
He is completely in favor of eliminating fraud. Fraud has been the major problem for Ukraine which has been preventing it from having a middle class. Fraud is the whole reason Zelenski was elected. A political outsider who ran on a platform of fighting fraud. The problem here is that when you say 'eliminating fraud' we all know that's code for 'investigate Biden,' and officials have found nothing TO investigate. The corrupt guy who got tossed out of his job made those false claims AFTER HE WAS FIRED. Trump fans believed him and have been repeating the lie ever since.
It is not true.
Here is the truth: Biden was fighting corruption. Biden acted in accordance with the EU. Numerous world leaders were pleased when Shokin was fired, because he was enabling corruption. Hunter Biden is not implicated in any wrongdoing and was never under investigation. No investigation was stopped when Shokin got fired. The reason Shokin got fired is because he was NOT performing investigations and was allowing corruption to continue.
"At the heart of Congress' probe into the president's actions is his claim that former Vice President and 2020 Democratic frontrunner Joe Biden strong-armed the Ukrainian government to fire its top prosecutor in order to thwart an investigation into a company tied to his son, Hunter Biden.
But sources ranging from former Obama administration officials to an anti-corruption advocate in Ukraine say the official, Viktor Shokin, was ousted for the opposite reason Trump and his allies claim.
It wasn't because Shokin was investigating a natural gas company tied to Biden's son; it was because Shokin wasn't pursuing corruption among the country's politicians, according to a Ukrainian official and four former American officials who specialized in Ukraine and Europe.
Shokin's inaction prompted international calls for his ouster and ultimately resulted in his removal by Ukraine's parliament."
"Burisma Holdings was not under scrutiny at the time Joe Biden called for Shokin's ouster, according to the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine, an independent agency set up in 2014 that has worked closely with the FBI.
Shokin's office had investigated Burisma, but the probe focused on a period before Hunter Biden joined the company, according to the anti-corruption bureau.
The investigation dealt with the Ministry of Ecology, which allegedly granted special permits to Burisma between 2010 and 2012, the agency said. Hunter Biden did not join the company until 2014."
Explainer: Biden, allies pushed out Ukrainian prosecutor because he didn't pursue corruption cases
I'm sure you will either ignore the above or call it fake news. There is no way you can understand the above and still cling to the baseless Trump fan narrative of 'eliminating corruption.'
Trump fans are entitled to their own views.
They are NOT entitled to their own facts.
The rest of us are most definitely going to have to vote their senselessness OUT!
EVERY chance we GET.
And make SURE it never comes BACK.
