Hunter Biden is once again in the spotlight, and this time, he’s made some remarks that may cause further headaches for the Democrat Party. In a recent interview, he voiced his frustration with Kamala Harris, particularly regarding her new book. His comments are sparking controversy, and it’s clear that the Biden family dynamics are a lot messier than they may appear.
Hunter, in an interview with Substack writer Tommy Christopher, expressed his deep disappointment with Harris’ book, calling her comments “personally painful.” He admitted to not reading the book but was clearly upset by what he had heard about it. He criticized Harris for being “inauthentic,” claiming she was playing “both sides” and distanced herself in a way that felt politically motivated. The remarks came across as a vague, disjointed ramble, but the core sentiment seemed to be that Hunter felt betrayed by Harris’ actions.
He went on to explain his view on loyalty, noting that his father, Joe Biden, chose Kamala Harris because of the powerful role African-American women play within the Democratic Party. He argued that Harris had an “incredible resume” and was perfectly capable of becoming president but was disappointed that she appeared to take an “expedient path” rather than maintain loyalty to the Biden family.
What’s perhaps the most interesting—and controversial—aspect of Hunter’s comments is his admission that his father picked Kamala Harris because she is an African-American woman. While he quickly added that she had an impressive resume, this comment will likely fuel the ongoing conversation about the role identity politics plays in political decisions.
The interview, especially Hunter’s remarks, have stirred the pot within Democrat circles. Megyn Kelly ran a clip from the interview on her show, where her guests, including former Democrat operative Dan Turrentine, acknowledged that Harris was indeed chosen partly due to her race, which is something the party would prefer to avoid discussing publicly. Turrentine also pointed out that with both Hunter and Kamala saying negative things, combined with upcoming books from Joe and Jill Biden, this internal drama isn’t helping the Democrats move forward.
And then, of course, there's White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, who, when confronted about the situation, seemed clueless, which only adds to the chaos. As Turrentine put it, “We have not heard the last of this.” It’s clear that the Biden family’s internal drama is far from over, and these revelations are not doing the Democrats any favors heading into future elections.
As the 2024 race heats up, Hunter Biden’s words have only added fuel to the fire, showing that the internal rifts within the Democratic Party could get even messier. It seems like the chaos is far from over.
