Pam Bondi blasts Joe Biden over nepotism just before Tiffany Trump speaks at RNC
Well, that was some awkward scheduling.
Former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi on Tuesday gave a speech during the Republican National Convention and blasted the Democratic presidential nominee, former Vice President Joe Biden, for nepotism, with a particular focus on his son Hunter Biden's business ventures in Ukraine and China. Once Bondi wrapped up her remarks, however, it was Tiffany Trump who took the stage, with Eric and Melania Trump also waiting in the wings. Some observers found the whole thing a bit ironic.
So Pam Bondi rails against nepotism... and the *very next speaker* is Tiffany Trump.

The RNC also ran a video highlighting the women who have worked for the Trump campaigns and in the White House, emphasizing that the president hires people on merit. The video, though, featured both Ivanka Trump and Kimberly Guilfoyle, the girlfriend of Donald Trump Jr.
It argued Trump hired based on merit while showing images of Ivanka and Guilfoyle and then segued to Tiffany.
