First lady Jill Biden defended her son Hunter Biden against an onslaught of attacks from Republicans in an interview that aired Thursday, saying the barrage of allegations against him has been “cruel.”
“I think what they are doing to Hunter is cruel,” the first lady said in an interview with MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski. “And I’m really proud of how Hunter has rebuilt his life after addiction. You know, I love my son and it’s had — it’s hurt my grandchildren. And that’s what I’m so concerned about, that it’s affecting their lives as well.”
The first lady lamented the shift in rhetoric in the country when asked about the constant attacks from Republicans against the Biden family, including from former President Trump, who frequently calls President Biden “incompetent.”
“I mean, to look at it, what we used to have, and what the other side, the extremists have turned this country into. I mean, we would never see things like that, say 10 years ago,” Jill Biden said.
I mean, it is because he’s being politically targeted for who his family is…
But also, you’d hope this would make the Bidens more progressive on addiction as a whole. Doing stuff like legalizing cannabis to separate it from the black market, going after opioid manufactures and hard drug traffickers.
Lots of people in America have trouble caused by drugs. Whether it’s legal trouble or addiction.
Hunter might be targeted now because of his connections and wealth, but without them he’d also have run into trouble by now too. So it’s hard to really have sympathy.
Rich connected people complaining a family member might face consequences (even when targeted for political reasons) is pretty tone deaf.
The phrase is “tone deaf.”
