First lady Jill Biden defended her son Hunter Biden against an onslaught of attacks from Republicans in an interview that aired Thursday, saying the barrage of allegations against him has been “cruel.”
“I think what they are doing to Hunter is cruel,” the first lady said in an interview with MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski. “And I’m really proud of how Hunter has rebuilt his life after addiction. You know, I love my son and it’s had — it’s hurt my grandchildren. And that’s what I’m so concerned about, that it’s affecting their lives as well.”
The first lady lamented the shift in rhetoric in the country when asked about the constant attacks from Republicans against the Biden family, including from former President Trump, who frequently calls President Biden “incompetent.”
“I mean, to look at it, what we used to have, and what the other side, the extremists have turned this country into. I mean, we would never see things like that, say 10 years ago,” Jill Biden said.
My tin-foil-hat theory is that the cruelty is the point, and their long term goal is to make being a Democrat president such a miserable experience that no one even remotely competent wants anything to do with the job.
According to Trump’s legal defense, Biden could have Trump and the entire Republican Congress assassinated without any repercussions. He could assassinate anyone who would vote to impeach him, and assassinate anyone who would vote for someone who would impeach him, and still be legally in the clear, as I understand it.
Just gotta make sure to get a dem majority in Congress too, and then their ability to do stupid bullshit is much more limited
All I know is that with all the Republicans have revealed about him, I am definitely not voting for Hunter Biden in 2024.
That sounds like some leftist speak to base decisions on information. Fuck you, commie! Hunter Biden '24! Make America Biden Again! #MABA #librulsarepoopieheads #clownmakeup
“I think what they are doing to Hunter is cruel
I mean, it is because he's being politically targeted for who his family is...
But also, you'd hope this would make the Bidens more progressive on addiction as a whole. Doing stuff like legalizing cannabis to separate it from the black market, going after opioid manufactures and hard drug traffickers.
Lots of people in America have trouble caused by drugs. Whether it's legal trouble or addiction.
Hunter might be targeted now because of his connections and wealth, but without them he'd also have run into trouble by now too. So it's hard to really have sympathy.
Rich connected people complaining a family member might face consequences (even when targeted for political reasons) is pretty tone deaf.
Downvoting & blocking the fascist symp cheerleading for Old Three-toes immediately makes the thread better.
She must not have been paying much attention in all her years in DC - the cruelty is the fucking point.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Her interview aired a day after House Republicans voted to advance a contempt of Congress resolution against Hunter Biden, teeing up a full House vote and the potential for criminal charges for the president’s son.
The White House has repeatedly denied the president was involved in his son’s business dealings.
House Republicans have repeatedly focused on Hunter Biden’s business deals as part of the inquiry into the president.
Hunter Biden was central to GOP attacks during the 2020 election, when the Trump campaign zeroed in on the contents of an old laptop that contained graphic images of the president’s son.
Hunter Biden is also facing federal tax charges, as well as charges for lying in October 2018 on a federal form for gun purchasers when he swore at the time that he wasn’t using or addicted to illegal drugs.
The president has repeatedly said he is proud of his son and has noted Hunter Biden has been open about his struggles with addiction.

I love threads like this because they're basically just roll-calls for trolls to add my block list.
What they’re doing to Hunter is less than most get.
He’s a rich prick, who’s had connections his whole life, and gets away with things that could see you or I in prison for life.
What’s cruel is the 1994 crime bill, what Hunter is getting is privilege.
He is not her son. Just saying.
I refer to my step-children "sons" & "daughter". They call me "Dad".
This just makes you look pedantic & pathetic.
What are you doing step family?
Actual legitimate criminal. Actually a piece of shit.
"What they're doing is so meeeeean :("
Laughably ridiculous. Keep running from accountability; fearing MTG was such a good look for you in your pathetic stunt.
MTG is your go-to? You just flunked the intelligence test 😂
It's like not even the trolls are making an effort any more. What has the world come to. :(
You interpreted every republican in congresses terrified silence after being asked if he should testify right then at the hearing he attended and they initiated allegedly to have him testify as him being terrified?
Jesus your brain worms must be starving.
troo lmao
