Joe Concha mocks Hunter Biden’s ‘sanctimony’
Washington Examiner Senior Writer Joe Concha dismissed Hunter Biden’s excuses for his father Joe Biden’s poor performance during last year’s presidential debate.
Hunter Biden claimed his father had taken Ambien the night before the June debate against Donald Trump, which would lead to his dropping out of the race completely.
Concha questioned the logic of giving an 80-year-old man with sleep apnea a sleep aid while on Fox News’s The Story with Martha MacCallum. According to the president’s schedule at the time, he had ten days of preparation ahead of the debate and, Concha pointed out, some 17 debate coaches with him.
“These creeds from the president’s son goes to a whole new stratosphere of sanctimony and there appears to be no upside here because this is pretty negative stuff that’s coming out right now,” Concha said Tuesday.
Hunter claimed his father “flew around the world” in the days leading up to the debate. Concha fact checked the suggestion that the debate came at an inconvenient time for Biden.
“But it’s worth noting it was the Biden team that chose June 27th as the first debate date,” Concha said. “For Hunter Biden to make this excuse, well this is on Biden and his team because they laid out the ground rules and Trump agreed to all of them.”
“So to play the victim is quite rich from Hunter Biden, who would be in a jail cell if he had not been pardoned by his father on his way out the door.”
DEMOCRATS ARE DELUSIONAL IF THEY THINK MAMDANI PROVIDES ROAD MAP BACK TO POWER
Concha was referring to the former president using his lame duck days to pardon Hunter from the federal gun and tax fraud convictions, including those offenses he “may have committed or taken part in” dating back to 2014. For months leading up to the announcement, the president denied that he planned to pardon his son.
Hunter was the 26th person to receive a presidential pardon from the 46th president. It notably came after the Democratic Party ousted him as the Democratic nominee and after Vice President Kamala Harris lost the 2024 election to Trump. Previously, Biden had already set a record in presidential pardons, commutations, and clemencies affecting over 4,200 people.
