James Carville criticized Hunter Biden for speaking publicly about anything, given the disgrace he has brought to his family, the Daily Caller reported. The famed Democratic strategist excoriated the son of former President Joe Biden on the "Politics War Room" podcast released on Thursday, telling him to "shut the f--k up."
The impetus for this tirade came from a revelation in a new book, Retribution: Donald Trump and the Campaign That Changed America by ABC News's Jonathan Karl. In it, he claimed that Biden was angry over an incident that happened at a 2024 fundraiser where his father appeared with former President Barack Obama.
Joe Biden had one of his moments on stage, and Obama took him by the wrist to lead him off, which outraged the younger Biden. When Carville's co-host Al Hunt brought up the topic, Carville laid into the former president's son for being a grifter and embarrassing his family.
Carville pulled no punches when it came to the former president's son. "In terms of Hunter Biden, look — he did some really stupid g-----n things," Carville stated.
"That $50,000 a month from a Ukrainian energy company — I mean, if he cared so much about his father, it looks like he wouldn’t have done so much s--t to embarrass him. Getting him on the phone and whatever," Carville said.
Burisma employed Hunter Biden despite his lack of experience and education in the energy industry. There were also accusations that Hunter Biden was engaged in influence peddling and profiting from his famous name.
According to PBS News, Hunter Biden's former business partner, Devon Archer, accused him of using his famous father's influence to make a favorable impression. There were numerous shady dealings between Hunter Biden, his father, and business associates; however, Joe Biden pardoned his son on his way out of office.
"And I don’t criticize [former] President [Joe] Biden for pardoning his own son. I think he was a target of malicious prosecution, but I think he was guilty of some s--t. Okay?" Carville added. "He wasn’t like Chelsea Clinton or the Obama children or anything like that. He traded on his family name. But it would look like after you’ve gone through all of that, you would do the simple thing and just shut the f--k up.”
Carville is correct that Hunter Biden appeared to be intent on embarrassing his father, considering the abandoned laptop that would have become a career-ending scandal, had Big Tech not suppressed the New York Post's report. Still, the humiliating details of his alleged drug-fueled life of debauchery will never go away.
There were photos of Hunter Biden allegedly doing drugs, engaging with prostitutes, and all sorts of other activities. Rather than being discreet about it, Hunter Biden allegedly left behind this hard drive containing a trove of damning evidence at a Delaware repair shop.
Still, Hunter Biden continues to downplay the findings on the laptop and its origins. "So number one, there’s really never a laptop," Hunter Biden claimed.
"But there was a hard drive, and that hard drive became just a dumping ground for things that were hacked, stolen, fabricated, manipulated, real. Lot of — vast majority of things that are real," Hunter Biden said.
Joe Biden was no choir boy by any means, but his son seems to have surpassed him in the ways he could allegedly break the law and misbehave. If Hunter Biden had any sense, he never would have done those things, but he can't even manage to keep his mouth shut about it.
