The Spin
Republican narrative
Hunter Biden and his father, the most powerful politician in the world, should never have been given a plea deal due to the countless crimes they've committed together. Pres. Biden has helped cover up his son's illicit drug usage, solicitation of prostitutes, and international money laundering schemes with countries such as Ukraine and China. Given that the president just sent cluster bombs to Ukraine, it's more important than ever to take off the kid gloves and investigate every detail of their million-dollar sellout of America.
Democratic narrative
Hunter Biden is just the latest child of a Democratic president who Republicans like to ruthlessly attack. They mocked 12-year-old Chelsea Clinton, 10-year-old Malia Obama, and now Hunter Biden — a man recovering from drug addiction who happens to be the son of a politician. Interestingly, however, the GOP was never up in arms over Donald Trump's Daughter Ivanka and her husband Jared Kushner's nefarious foreign business dealings while he was president. This is just another example of political theater for the GOP to use ahead of the election.
