ESSEX FILES: Hunter Biden’s Scandals Are a Legacy of Shame for the Biden Name

Townhall Media

Hunter Biden, the embattled son of the former president, stormed back into the spotlight this week, spewing profanities at Hollywood elites like George Clooney and dismissing conservative heroes like President Trump as “dictators.” In a three-hour tirade on a podcast, he defends his father’s failed presidency while not getting questions about cocaine in the White House, his eyebrow-raising marriage to his brother’s widow, and his refusal to acknowledge his own child. His media blitz is a masterclass in deflection and a case study in elite arrogance.

In the podcast, Hunter lashes out at Clooney for daring to write a New York Times op-ed in July 2024, urging Joe Biden to step aside after a debate performance so disastrous it left him looking like a “deer in the headlights.” “F‑‑‑ you,” Hunter snarls, as if Clooney’s critique single-handedly sank his father’s campaign. Never mind that Joe Biden’s stumbling—initially blamed on Ambien (before being slightly walked back) and jet lag—confirmed what conservatives have been shouting from the rooftops: the Biden family’s grip on power was built on denial, not competence. Hunter’s venom extends to former Obama aides like David Axelrod and Anita Dunn, dismissing their expertise while boasting about his father’s Senate wins.

Then there’s the cocaine scandal. In 2023, a baggie of white powder turned up in a White House locker, and now the FBI’s sniffing around again, with Hunter in the crosshairs. His defense? “I’ve been sober since 2019!” he protests, as if we’re supposed to believe he’d never be so careless as to leave his stash in the West Wing.

Sure, Hunter, and I’m the next governor of Kansas. The man who once turned the White House into his personal playground wants us to take his word over hard evidence. This is a slap in the face to every American who values integrity. But the rot runs deeper. 

Hunter married Hallie Biden, his late brother Beau’s widow, in 2019. Beau, a decorated veteran, needed to rest in peace rather than have his memory tangled in his brother’s tabloid-worthy antics. And let’s not forget Hunter’s refusal to acknowledge his daughter with Lunden Roberts until a paternity test forced his hand in 2020.

Some might argue Hunter’s just a loyal son, standing up for his father against a sea of critics. They’ll point to his alleged sobriety since 2019 or his claim that Democrats’ disloyalty, not Joe’s failings, handed Trump the White House in 2024. But loyalty doesn’t excuse lying about cocaine, shirking fatherhood, or cozying up to your brother’s widow while the family name crumbles. If Hunter wants redemption, he can start by owning his mess and cleaning it up instead of blaming everyone else.

Hunter Biden’s meltdown isn’t just a personal implosion—it’s a window into the rot of a liberal elite that’s been fleecing America for decades. 

The time for excuses is over. We can’t let elites like Hunter Biden dodge accountability while our country fights for its future. Demand transparency, investigate the White House cocaine and Ukraine deals, and hold the Biden family to the same standards as every hardworking American. Let’s send a message: no more scandals, no more Biden, no more lies.
