Biden Is a Proud Father

Biden Is a Proud Father

As one scandal after another swirls around Hunter Biden, his father dodges the inquires – resorting to two mantra-like responses, “I never discussed Hunter’s business deals” and “I am proud of my son.”

No matter how far the various investigations go, the first statement is a blatant like – proven so by emerging evidence in the form of emails, text messages, confirmed conversations, meetings and golf outings with Hunter’s business partners.  Those matters are the subject of ongoing investigations.

As a father myself, I can understand a parent loving their child in the face of unseemly behavior, but Biden uses the word “proud.”  That means he is supportive of Hunter’s activism – finds them worthy of praise.

Hunter has had innumerable encounters with hookers – and documented them with porn video that became public when he forgot his laptop at a computer repair company.

“I am proud of my son,” says Papa Biden.

Hunter has periodically been addicted to drugs and alcohol.

“I am proud of my son.”

Hunter fathered an out-of-wedlock daughter – first denied it, has nothing to do with his love (Lust?) child and fought against paying child support.  He keeps the child from being embraced by the Biden family.

“I am proud of my son.”

Hunter cheated on his taxes and has been convicted of felony tax evasion.

“I am proud of my son.”

Hunter lied on an application form to get a gun illegally – for which he was prosecuted and fined.

“I am proud of my son.”

Hunter represented foreign governments and failed to register as a foreign agent as required by federal law.

“I am proud of my son.”

When his brother died, Hunter, while still married, entered into an affair with the widow — his sister-in-law.

“I am proud of my son.”

Hunter was kicked out of the Navy for using cocaine.

“I am proud of my son.”

I understand Joe loving his son, but “proud” seems to be a very inappropriate word.  There is very little in Hunter’s life of which any father could be proud.  By all measures, Hunter’s has so far been an ill-spent life.  And it seems from the investigations and media reports, we have not seen the end of Hunter’s misdeeds – and there is the potential that they may drag Papa Biden into the muck.  I wonder if old Joe will still proclaim his pride in his son.  Oh wait!  Maybe Papa Biden is actually proud of all the money Hunter has brought into the family.

So, there ‘tis.
