Who could forget Joe Biden’s woeful debate performance against Donald Trump in June 2024, when the Democrat offered up a stream of incoherent responses that prompted party elites to push him out of the race?
Hunter Biden blamed the debacle on Ambien that he said his father took amid a demanding schedule.
“I think what happened in that debate, he flew around the world basically, the mileage that he could’ve flown around the world three times, he’s 81 years old,” Hunter said. “He’s tired. You give him Ambien to be able to sleep. He gets up on the stage, and he looks like he’s a deer in the headlights. And it feeds into every story that everybody wants to tell.”
Hunter Biden also tore into actor George Clooney, who wrote a Times op-ed calling on the president to bow out following his poor debate performance. (Joe Biden eventually stepped aside and endorsed the vice president, Kamala Harris.)
“Number one, I agree with [director] Quentin Tarantino,” Hunter huffed. “George Clooney is not a [expletive] actor. He is a [expletive] like, I don’t know what he is. He’s a brand. And by the way, and God bless him. You know what? He supposedly treats his friends really well. … And he’s got a really great place in Lake Como, and he’s great friends with Barack Obama. [Expletive] you.”
Addressing Clooney, he continued, “What do you have to do with [expletive] anything? Why do I have to [expletive] listen to you? What right do you have to step on a man who’s given 52 years of his [expletive] life to the service of this country, and decide that you, George Clooney, are gonna take out basically a full-page ad in the [expletive] New York Times?”
Skewering a who’s who of prominent Democrats who also called on his father to quit the race, Hunter cited Clinton adviser “James Carville, who hasn’t won a race in 40 [expletive] years, and [strategist] 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 [expletive] David Axelrod. And [former Obama aide] David Plouffe, and all of these guys and the Pod Save America [podcast] guys, who were junior [expletive] speech writers on Barack Obama’s senate staff, who’ve been dining out on their relationship with him for years, making millions of dollars. The [strategist] Anita Dunn’s of the world, who’s made 40, $50 million dollars off the Democratic party — they’re all going to insert their judgment over a man who has figured out, unlike anybody else, how to get elected to the United States Senate over seven times, how to pass more legislation than any president in history, how to have a better midterm election than anybody in history, and how to garner more votes than any president that has ever won.”
Biden also ripped President Trump and his draconian immigration crackdown.
“He is a [expletive] dictator thug,” Hunter said. “He’s somehow convinced all of us that these people are the [expletive] criminals? ‘People are really upset about illegal immigration,’ [expletive] you. How do you think a hotel room gets cleaned? How do you think you’ve got food on your [expletive] table? Who do you think washes your dishes?”
Also during the interview, Hunter discussed his well-documented struggles with addiction.
“I was drinking so much alcohol, almost a handle of vodka a day,” he told Callaghan. “And alcohol is the most destructive drug, not just to your body, but it puts you in more danger than any other drug that I’ve ever experienced.”
He also ingested large amounts of crack cocaine, he said.
“And then you add on top of that, the amount of crack that I was using at the time,” he said. “And crack cocaine, in terms of your physical health, is not as dangerous as the situation that you put yourself in to be able to obtain it. … The places that you can go get it are some of the most dangerous places in whatever location you happen to be in. And it’s everywhere. Mainly for that reason, I learned how to make my own.”
