Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden, wrote an op-ed accusing Fox News and The New York Post of running a “disinformation campaign” to use his personal struggles to attack his father.
He discussed his battle with substance abuse and expressed concern that the focus on his personal issues would marginalize others who struggle with addiction.
“My struggles and my mistakes have been fodder for a vile and sustained disinformation campaign against him, and an all-out annihilation of my reputation through high-pitched but fruitless congressional investigations and, more recently, criminal charges for possessing an unloaded gun for 11 days five years ago – charges that appear to be the first-ever of their kind brought in the history of Delaware,” Biden claimed.
China wired Hunter's company $5 million. Then Hunter's company wired Hunter $400,000. They wired Biden's brother money- and then Biden's brother's wife wrote Joe a check for $40,000. What's 10% of 400k? That's 40,000- 10% for the Big Guy. pic.twitter.com/cYIlh8YPlj

“What troubles me is the demonization of addiction, of human frailty, using me as its avatar and the devastating consequences it has for the millions struggling with addiction, desperate for a way out and being bombarded by the denigrating and near-constant coverage of me and my addiction on Fox News (more airtime than GOP presidential candidate Ron DeSantis) and in The New York Post (an average of two stories a day over the past year),” he said.
Critics dismissed his argument and criticized him for exploiting addiction to avoid accountability for his alleged crimes.
“Don’t talk about Hunter Biden enriching himself off of the CCP at the expense of national security, engaging in human trafficking, violating gun laws and FARA because you’re ‘demonizing’ his coke addiction,” radio personality Dana Loesch said.
“Shame on privileged Hunter Biden for exploiting addiction to dodge accountability for his crimes. Not all addicts sell out their country to the CCP and not all criminals are addicts,” she wrote.
