We’d expected President Trump to come out of the gate at Thursday night’s debate with the Hunter Biden email story, and he did make a sly wink at it by suggesting that Joe Biden had made a lot of money somehow. But in a surprise move, Biden was the one to bring up the New York Post’s story by invoking Rudy Giuliani, suggesting he was parroting Russian disinformation.

Biden brings up Giuliani before Trump brings up Hunter

Biden bringing up Rudy Giuliani is opening up the potential for the inevitable Hunter Biden battle…

Joe Biden just made a big mistake. He should have shut his trap about his crackhead son's laptop. #PresidentialDebate2020 #Debates2020.

Joe Biden just brought the Hunter laptop into play by mocking Rudy Giuliani, and referring to him as a Russian pawn. Big mistake. For Joe.

LOL Joe Biden just opened the door by bringing up Rudy Giuliani allegations… major blunder #debate

Biden is challenging Trump to bring up Hunter right now. Let ‘er rip, tater chip.

WELP. Joe Biden was the first to bring up the Hunter Biden scandal in the debate, claiming @RudyGiuliani is "being used as a Russian pawn." Any response, Rudy? #Debates2020

Biden brings up laptop issue by mentioning Guiliani. Trump notes that Biden family got $3.5M from Moscow mayor's wife. "The kind of money you were raking in, you and your family. It should have never happened. I think you own an explanation to the American people."

Biden just pulled the “Russian disinformation” line
This is an ABJECT lie and anyone with a 3 digit IQ knows it
Trump should crush him on this now
— Buck Sexton (@BuckSexton) October 23, 2020
That was bold and he knew it was a mistake as soon as he said it…
— Right side of The Road ?? (@RightsideofThe3) October 23, 2020
YUGE mistake!

He opened a can he shouldn’t have
— Alicia Fassio (@AliciaFassio) October 23, 2020
Biden can't explain the Hunter allegations. He talks about his tax returns, and Trump's. #debate

“YOU’RE THE BIG MAN, I THINK”

Biden: “I haven’t taken a penny from any country ever.”
— Megyn Kelly (@megynkelly) October 23, 2020
The Big Guy says he's never taken a penny from a foreign country. Will that stoke media interest, and will they look at what Hunter was pulling in?

Biden says Hunter didn’t make money at all from China? Really?
— Guy Benson (@guypbenson) October 23, 2020
Joe Biden falsely claimed tonight his son never made any money off of China. He did, after taking a ride with Joe on Air Force Two.
— Katie Pavlich (@KatiePavlich) October 23, 2020
Not heard from Biden: those emails are fake. The laptop isn’t Hunter’s.

Moderator to the rescue!

Yep.
The moderator's oppo research is 100% aimed at Trump. #debate
