Hunter Biden, claimed in a podcast interview this week that “very sick” Republicans were “trying to kill” him to end his father’s presidency.
Hunter Biden suggested in a rare interview on the podcast “Moby Pod,” hosted by the musician Moby, on Friday that Republicans were “engaging in a public campaign to lure him into a substance abuse relapse in an effort to damage his father’s presidency,” NBC News reported.
Podcast co-host Lindsay Hicks told Biden there was “real beauty” in how “vulnerable” he was in the memoir by sharing many intimate details of his addiction. She noted that others may read it and feel that they don’t have to be ashamed of their secrets.
“That’s the one thing — one of the reasons why I’m going to survive this — and I’m going to survive it clean and sober — is because I am not going to let these motherfuckers use me as just another example of why people in recovery are never going to be okay, never to be trusted, they’re all degenerates. I’m just not going to let that happen. I’m just not going to let it happen,” Biden said.
He went on to agree with the hosts’ opinion that people targeting Hunter, specifically Republicans, were addicted to inflicting their own hurt on other people
“I’m absolutely am positive of that. If you can’t look at some of these people like Marjorie Taylor Greene or Paul Gosar and see someone that have been bullied, that are just absolutely suffering— They’re suffering people. And that doesn’t excuse the things that they have done to others and to me, but you see people that are in anguish. They’re not healthy people,” Biden said.
He claimed that those going after him were trying to end his life with the ultimate goal of hurting his father, President Biden.
“I recognize that none of this is necessarily about me,” Hunter Biden claimed. “They are trying to in their most illegitimate way, but rational way, they’re trying to destroy a presidency. And so it’s not about me and their most base way, what they’re trying to do is they’re trying to kill me knowing that it will be a pain greater than my father could be able to handle and so therefore destroying the presidency in that way.”
“And so I realized that, that it’s not about me,” he continued. “And then the second thing that I realize is that these people are just sad, very, very sick people that have most likely just faced traumas in their lives, that they’ve decided that they are going to turn into an evil that they decide that they’re going to inflict on the rest of the world.”
Hunter Biden also attacked X owner Elon Musk, claiming that he was a “very damaged human being” and that he was “the dumbest smart person I think that the world has ever known.”
“Elon Musk doesn’t care about the goddamn First Amendment,” he lashed out. “He doesn’t care about anybody but himself. And so all of this idea that he’s a champion for the First Amendment and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Elon Musk doesn’t care about democracy. Elon Musk doesn’t care about our freedom to vote. He doesn’t care about that. Is there any time that you’ve ever saw anything from him that has any rational defense of democracy of what we’ve created here as Americans as his adopted country?”
Biden went on to blame former President Donald Trump for the “underlying sickness” facing the country, claiming he “gave voice” to feelings of rage, and making it okay to express that.
He later dismissed the idea of the “Biden Crime Family,” arguing that any claims of corruption within his family were refuted by the decades his family had been in the public light.
“Think about this, okay? My dad has been a senator since I was two years old. He has released decades-worth of his tax returns. He has lived in the public light. We have lived in the public light. We have gone through four presidential campaigns. My entire life has been before the public. It took until, oh, low and behold, Donald Trump figured out that somehow this is a criminal enterprise,” he joked.
