Hunter claimed that Joe Biden had taken Ambien the night before the debate and was unprepared, which led to him effectively dropping out of the race. Concha questioned this clarification, highlighting that Biden had ample preparation time and multiple debate coaches, and pointed out that the debate date was set by Biden&#8217;s own team with Trump&#8217;s agreement. He also criticized Hunter Biden for portraying his father as a victim, noting Hunter&#8217;s own legal troubles and recent pardon by Joe Biden for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/dcccs-new-senior-adviser-remains-on-parole-in-new-york\/\" title=\"DCCC\u2019s New Senior Adviser Remains on Parole in New York\">federal convictions<\/a>. Concha described Hunter&#8217;s statements as sanctimonious and unhelpful, reflecting negatively on the Biden family amid ongoing political challenges.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Joe Concha mocks Hunter Biden&rsquo;s &lsquo;sanctimony&rsquo;<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2175575\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p><em>Washington Examiner<\/em> Senior Writer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/in_focus\/3407108\/joe-biden-the-view-comeback-tour-democratic-party\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Joe Concha<\/a> dismissed Hunter Biden&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3477980\/takeaways-hunter-biden-interviews-drug-use-laptop-joe-dropout\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">excuses<\/a> for his father Joe Biden&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/3452327\/joe-biden-debate-against-donald-trump-haunts-democratic-party\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">poor performance<\/a> during last year&rsquo;s presidential debate.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\">Hunter Biden claimed his father had taken&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3477980\/takeaways-hunter-biden-interviews-drug-use-laptop-joe-dropout\/\" target=\"_blank\">Ambien<\/a>&nbsp;the night b<\/span>efore the June debate against Donald Trump, which would lead to his&nbsp;dropping out of the race&nbsp;completely.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/senate\/3478619\/john-cornyn-andy-kim-bipartisan-bill-purge-child-sexual-abuse-ai\/\">Senators introduce bipartisan bill to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/senators-introduce-bill-to-purge-child-sexual-abuse-from-ai-training-data\/\" title=\"Senators introduce bill to purge child sexual abuse from AI training data\">purge child sexual abuse<\/a> from AI training data<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3478708\/trump-indonesia-trade-deal-19-percent-tariff-rate\/\">Trump maintains 19% tariffs on Indonesia in new framework deal<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/3478791\/salena-zito-hunter-biden-interview\/\">Hunter Biden was &#8216;very intentional&#8217; in dunking Democratic Party: Salena Zito<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>Concha questioned the logic of giving an 80-year-old man with sleep apnea a sleep aid while on Fox News&rsquo;s <em>The Story with Martha MacCallum<\/em>.
