“Hunter Biden Isn’t the First Presidential Son Caught Up in Controversy. Anybody Remember Neil Bush?”

— Esquire, Wednesday

We say: Yikes. Esquire published a piece based on the premise that President George H.W. Bush pardoned his son, Neil.

One problem: He didn’t.

But Esquire was so eager to whitewash Joe Biden’s corrupt pardon for his son, it went on in the subhead: “Shut the f-ck up about Hunter Biden, please.”

After blowback, the mag first corrected and then totally yanked the piece.

Moral: Don’t let ChatGPT write your columns.

This claim:

“Joe Biden has played by all the rules that people told him you need to play by.”

— MSBNC’s Symone Sanders-Townsend, Tuesday 

We say: What? Biden lied repeatedly to Americans, allowed his son and brother to influence-peddle off his name, bragged about getting the Ukrainian prosecutor who was reportedly investigating the firm employing Hunter fired, hid his cognitive decline as he ran for re-election and spent his entire presidency ignoring US immigration laws to disastrous results.

That’s what Sanders-Townsend calls “playing by the rules”? 

This assertion:

“I haven’t seen what the proof is that the FBI has been weaponized against a political party or the Department of Justice.” — Rep. Jamie Raskin, Sunday

We say: Pure denialism.

The raid on Mar-a-Lago, the botched and biased investigation into “collusion” with Russia, the FBI siccing Big Tech on right-wing accounts, the endless lawfare against Donald Trump as he campaigned — how much proof does Raskin need? 

This statement:

“[Hunter Biden is] one of the finest people I know.”

— Sean Penn, Wednesday

We say: Who is Penn hanging out with?

If a crack-smoking, prostitute-hiring, tax-evading nepo baby who used his father’s position to clinch lucrative business deals and land high-paying jobs is the finest person you know, it doesn’t say much for the rest of your social circle.
