CNN panelist defends Hunter Biden against charge that he's a 'complete scumbag'

Brett T. | 6:00 PM on July 31, 2023

The big news of the day on CNN was that President Joe Biden has finally acknowledged that he has a seventh grandchild. Isn't that great? Hunter Biden argued that he wasn't the father and was so high on coke that he didn't even remember having sex with the mother of his child. Finally, a court-ordered DNA test proved that he was. This was all the way back in November 2019, so Joe and Jill Biden had no excuse for not acknowledging their newest family addition then.

But as the New York Times Nick Kristoff explained, the entire Biden family to-do is really a story about a father's love for his son. Let's not lose sight of that.

We've all seen the photos of a nude Hunter Biden smoking crack and cavorting with hookers. The poor guy was an addict, you see?

CNN's host tried to use the "addict" excuse to refute the assertion that Hunter is a "complete scumbag."

Joe's fresh acceptance of Hunters daughter is only the results of polls. Nothing more.

The apologetic contortions are mind-blowing.

Some have suggested he might have been on crack when he sent that WhatsApp message extorting a Chinese businessman and warning him that his father was in the room.
