This is funny. As this editor pointed out in a recent post, Democrats are ready to throw Hunter Biden and any other member of the Biden family under the bus so they don't taint the saint-like President Joe Biden. Democrats at first didn't seem to think Hunter should be jailed for felony gun possession, but in recent replies, they've turned on Hunter, saying this is a matter for the courts, not Congress, and he should be punished if found guilty of any crimes. He was ready to plead guilty as long as he had that sweetheart deal that gave him immunity from future prosecution for his overseas shenanigans.
Throw Hunter in prison for life if you have to, but you can't pin anything on "the big guy." There's "zero evidence" he's done anything other than help guide his troubled son back from addiction.
Matthew Dowd had some thoughts:
Many in news media constantly talk about Trump’s support from his base. The reality is Biden is more popular among Dems than Trump is among GOP voters. https://t.co/4HR12FYv2F

That inspired David Frum to xeet:
Yes but if Biden shot a man in Fifth Avenue, Biden supporters would almost unanimously want him punished for the crime. https://t.co/w2P1ta9JUU

Sure they would. That's why they're fighting so hard to deny the mounting evidence that Biden was involved in a foreign bribery scheme.
No they would not.

They wouldn’t even know about it, Dave.
— JayJay McMaster, CD (@tantrumblue1) August 9, 2023
True. CNN and MSNBC wouldn't even report on it.
Absolutely untrue.

His supporters would blame it on Trump.

But there are steps to go through first.

1) I wasn't even in town that day
2) I was in town but I don't know that guy and have never been on that street
3) I might know that guy
4) I do know that guy but I never meant to hurt him
5) I don't own a gun
6) My gun wasn't loaded
He accidentally got into Hunter's stash of crack and went crazy … that's it.

What if he did it for love of his son?

Does, "They would blame the victim" sound like a plausible answer here as well?
— CaptSchark (@CaptSchark) August 9, 2023
It was Hunter's crack dealer!
They don't want him punished for his current provable crimes.

The media would scour the social media accounts of whoever was shot to see if he ever tweeted something transphobic or ultra-MAGA.
