Hunter Biden blasts prominent Democrats for abandoning his father in 2024
The rant largely criticized Democrats who called for former President Joe Biden to drop out of the race after he lost a presidential debate last year, including famed Hollywood star George Clooney who was one of the first notable Democrats to urge Joe Biden to drop out.
Former first son Hunter Biden on Monday slammed several notable Democrats in a profanity-laced rant for abandoning his father last year ahead of an election that ultimately saw President Donald Trump elected to a second term.
The rant largely criticized Democrats who called for former President Joe Biden to drop out of the race after he lost a presidential debate last year, including famed Hollywood star George Clooney who was one of the first notable Democrats to urge Joe Biden to drop out. Former Vice President Kamala Harris later became the Democratic nominee in the former president's place.
Hunter Biden, who appeared on YouTuber Andrew Callaghan's podcast, claimed Clooney was not an "actor" but was more like a "brand," and questioned why other Democrats listened to the Oscar winner.
“What do you have to do with f‑‑‑ing anything? Why do I have to f‑‑‑ing listen to you?” Hunter Biden asked of Clooney. “What right do you have to step on a man who’s given 52 years of his f‑‑‑ing life to service of this country and to decide you, George Clooney, are going to take out basically a full page ad in the f‑‑‑ing New York Times.
"And James Carville, who hasn’t run a race in 40 f‑‑‑ing years, and David Axelrod who had one success in his political life, and that was Barack Obama and that was because of Barack Obama, not because of f‑‑‑ing David Axelrod and David Plouffe and all of these guys," he continued. "And the Pod Save America Guys, who were junior f‑‑‑ing speechwriters on Barack Obama’s Senate staff who had been dining out on their relationship with him.”
Hunter Biden also appeared to blame his father's poor debate performance on the drug Ambien, which the former president allegedly took after traveling overseas ahead of the debate.
He traveled to France for five days to commemorate the 80th anniversary of D-Day from June 5-10, 2024. A few days later he traveled to Italy to meet with G7 leaders from June 13-15, 2024. Biden went to Camp David on June 20, where he remained until the debate on June 27th.
