Hunter Biden is destroying his father’s reelection hopes
Hunter Biden seems to have substituted an addiction to attention for his nasty drug habit.
The drama queen, long in the shadow of older brother Beau, constantly sows chaos and seeks headlines, perhaps in some misguided attempt to win his father’s heart and devotion. In reality, Hunter’s antics are destroying his family and his father’s cherished dream of reelection.
Every time Hunter dominates the news cycle, voters are reminded of his shady business dealings in China and Ukraine, indictments on tax cheating and an illegal gun purchase, as well as alleged influence peddling — and of his father’s evident involvement. That Joe Biden was party to and may have profited from those activities has already corroded the president’s image; when he first took office, most voters considered the president honest, but that is no longer the case.
An AP poll from last fall indicates nearly two-thirds of the country thinks the president has acted illegally or unethically in connection with his son’s dealings.
Just recently, Hunter turned up unexpectedly and uninvited to a House hearing that was debating whether he should be held in contempt of Congress for not complying with two legal subpoenas issued earlier. Hunter was accompanied by his lawyers and left just before Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) was to speak in favor of the contempt motion.
The White House press corps went into overdrive, of course; with President Biden having zero items on his public schedule, they had little else to occupy them.........
