Hunter Biden is hiding something important about his identity, something shameful. For years, he has felt trapped in the wrong body. The reality is that under the liberal-normative Biden household, Hunter has been forced to hide a core part of who he is. But the secret’s out, and he should be proud.
Hunter Biden is a raging conservative — an IRS-hating, Gadsden flag-waving, gun-toting conservative. And from what I’ve been told, he has a “Big Government Sucks” TPUSA sticker on his laptop, and he has read Bob Spitz’s Reagan: An American Journey — twice. He was confused — not knowing that drugs, corruption, and prostitutes are bad — but he gets it now.
A few days ago, the feds indicted Biden for illegally possessing a gun, as he was using illicit substances at the time. But Hunter and his legal team know their Constitution well. After all, Hunter is an originalist, and he is making a case against regulatory overreach.
Last year’s New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen, which ruled that the right to keep and bear arms permits solely for restrictions grounded in “history and tradition,” angered liberals (including Hunter’s dad). But liberty-minded Hunter loved it.
“Since 1911, the State of New York has required individuals who would like to carry a concealed weapon in public to show a need to do so for the purpose of self-defense and to acquire a license,” President Joe Biden said in regard to the decided case. “This ruling contradicts both common sense and the Constitution, and should deeply trouble us all.”
This Monday, Hunter’s team made another announcement: He is suing the IRS, alleging that agents “targeted and sought to embarrass” him.
“Mr. Biden is the son of the President of the United States. He has all the same responsibilities as any other American citizen, and the IRS can and should make certain that he abides by those responsibilities,” the lawsuit said. “Similarly, Mr. Biden has no fewer or lesser rights than any other American citizen, and no government agency or government agent has free rein to violate his rights simply because of who he is.”
You may be thinking: Are Hunter’s lawyers Ted Cruz–live-action–role playing for convenience? But you would be wrong. Hunter is a conservative. He’s kept it a secret because his dad is backwards and conservaphobic. It shouldn’t be this way, though. Hunter deserves to be loved just for who he is.
