President Biden's son Hunter Biden says he was hoping former President Trump would attack him over his previous drug and alcohol abuse when Trump debated his father last year in the run-up to the 2020 presidential election.
"The one thing that I was hoping for was that attack from Donald Trump, because I knew my dad would answer from his heart," Biden said during a recent appearance on Donny Deutsch's podcast. "And I knew that my dad would answer in a way that would speak to the millions and millions of people that have somebody that they love, or they themselves, that has suffered from the disease of addiction."
Trump, during the first debate between the two candidates in September, claimed "Hunter got thrown out of the military. ... He was thrown out, dishonorably discharged, for cocaine use."
Joe Biden shot back in defense of his son.
"My son, like a lot of people, like a lot of people you know at home, had a drug problem," Biden said. "He's overtaken it, he's fixed it, he's worked on it, and I'm proud of him."
Hunter Biden called Trump's attack on him "a gift" to his father's campaign and an opportunity to show his compassion and forgiveness.
"I knew in that instant that they handed me a gift to show everyone exactly who my dad was as a parent," he said. "My dad didn't say that my addiction was an excuse for anything."
Biden has spoken and written openly about his past drug and alcohol abuse since his father was elected president. In a memoir published earlier this year, Biden wrote that at one point in his life he was "so desperate for a drink that I couldn’t make the one-block walk between a liquor store and my apartment without uncapping the bottle to take a swig.”
This guy is just like his father...doesn’t know when to shut up.
I imagine that the grandchildren don't consider having PedoJoe as a grandfather to be "a gift"...
Grown ass man still wanting daddy to save him.
There is something wrong with Biden and his family.
Biden’s response to the President’s question about Hunter was way out of line and disrespectful to President Trump and the American people.
joek’s first wife was only able to save herself and her daughter from the Child Molester In Chief...
There is indeed.
Hunter is 51!
Birds of a feather. Twin scum bags. Joe Biden and his dirt bag son.
The Father was a terrible influence on his son and a bag example and Commie Joe hasn’t changed his stripes.
Both are demented.
Except when he lied on the ATF Form 4473 (federal criminal background check). He lied. He hid the truth. It’s a felony.
I read some of the comments at The Hill. I was stunned. They were all anti-Trump and had no criticism at all for Hunter Biden and his crooked father. We truly do exist in 2 different worlds. When do we get to separate from these people?
Well, all the money Hunter made off dad truly is a "gift", he never earned a penny.
Hunter Biden, unlike millions of Americans with drug problems, has a father with connections to the CPP and others for billions in business, where the Big Guy gets a cut.
>>”...had a drug problem,” Biden said. “He’s overtaken it, he’s fixed it”
Would he pass a random drug test today?
Makes me wonder how many times he carried drugs and illegally-earned money onboard all those flights he took on taxpayer-funded transports.
Trump does have a stupid habit of going after people in ways that make them sympathetic.
“....Would he pass a random drug test today?...”
Most likely not.
But then, he doesn’t have to.
Daddy is the “Big Guy” that’s getting 10% of everything now.
