“Fox News Sunday” panelists Juan Williams and Newt Gingrich engaged in a heated debate over President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, and the implications of his actions on the current administration.

The discussion quickly turned into a comparison between the Biden and Trump families’ alleged nepotism, raising questions about the role family connections play in politics.

Williams opened the discussion by acknowledging Hunter Biden’s struggles with addiction, alcoholism, and sex addiction, and defended Joe Biden’s actions as a father trying to protect his son.

He argued that the President’s attempts to help his son were understandable and not a cause for criticism.

Williams then shifted the focus to former President Donald Trump, accusing his family of engaging in graft and grifting through their business deals, including Chinese shoe deals, and claiming that son-in-law Jared Kushner received billions from the Saudis.

Gingrich countered by pointing out the lucrative international business deals involving the Biden family, including the millions of dollars Hunter Biden received from the widow of Moscow’s mayor, money from Kazakhstan, Ukraine, and China.

Gingrich also mentioned the $3 million disclosed to have gone to the Biden family from a Chinese billionaire.

According to Gingrich, Joe Biden’s decision to take Hunter on Air Force Two to China for business deals was a cause for concern, especially given Hunter’s personal issues.

Williams interjected, arguing that nepotism is not a crime and that every president and famous family has engaged in it.

He highlighted Jared Kushner’s $2 billion deal as a specific example of nepotism in the Trump family.

Fox News host Shannon Bream stepped in, noting that accusations of nepotism had been leveled against both the Trump and Biden families, and asked if a double standard was at play.

In response, Williams reiterated that Hunter Biden’s business deals may have brought in money for the family, but it was unclear how much.

Gingrich remained unconvinced and asserted that no legitimate business would invest in Hunter Biden unless they believed they could gain something more significant from his connections, implying that they were actually investing in Joe Biden.
