The Spin
Republican narrative
Hunter Biden believes that he can continue to use his family name to avoid personal responsibility, but House Republicans are holding him accountable for defying two legitimate congressional subpoenas. There's ample evidence that Hunter and his father made a fortune selling political influence, and the Bidens must be willing to answer to the American people.
Democratic narrative
Republicans have spent years peddling baseless conspiracy theories about Pres. Joe Biden and his son, yet they have no evidence to show the public. Instead, they are resorting to political games with a sham impeachment inquiry and issuing bad-faith subpoenas. If the GOP actually cared about discovering the Bidens' so-called corruption, they would not have rejected Hunter Biden’s offer to testify publicly.
