Hunter Biden, Class(less) Act

The Biden crime family seems beset on all sides lately, and now we learn that the source of a lot of their problems, Hunter Biden, is doing what he usually does: being a screwup and making things worse. The latest? When the Hunter family moved out of a luxurious Venice Beach rental in 2021, they reportedly left it trashed. Now the owner, Sweetgreen CEO and co-founder Jonathan Neman, is going public.

Hunter Biden left his multimillion-dollar Venice Beach, California, rental home in a state of ‘disarray and disrepair’ and owing approximately $80,000 in outstanding rent, DailyMail.com can reveal.

The scandal-mired First Son rented the sprawling property on the edge of the Grand Canal two years ago and moved in with his then ten-month old son, Beau, and second wife, Melissa, 37, in February 2021.

According to one well-placed source, ‘Hunter and Melissa were horrible tenants. Not only did they stiff the owner for months of rent, they left the house in terrible condition.’

At the time, the imposing three-story property was owned by Sweetgreen CEO and co-founder Jonathan Neman.

Indeed, “terrible condition” just doesn’t seem to cover it:

The source added, ‘They were totally disrespectful of Jonathan and [his wife] Leora’s property.

‘Melissa was rude and entitled. They destroyed the stereo equipment in the home and when someone came to fix it, they were uncooperative. They also left the place dirty.’

Property records show that Neman sold the home, which rented out for $25,000 a month, last March for $3.9million. It is now valued at $4.2million.

But according to one well-placed source the former owner could only shift the property after cleaning up the Bidens’ mess and was left out of pocket when Hunter, 53, shorted him more than three months’ rent.

More than three months’ rent, if we can use Neman’s statement, is $75,000. Not a fortune to a guy who is probably worth millions, but not insignificant, either.

We’ve known for some time now that Hunter Biden was as crooked as a barrel of fish hooks. In that sense, the apple didn’t fall too far from the tree. But this episode reveals a Brobdingnagian sense of entitlement, a self-centeredness, a sense of elite snobbery, and a callous disregard for others that is just inexcusable. Apparently, that has spread to Hunter’s wife, as well.

What’s next? Droit du seigneur?

One wonders if Hunter, and old Joe, are actual sociopaths. Their arrogant defensiveness when confronted with the vast amounts of evidence of corruption speaks volumes. Now we have further evidence in Hunter’s callous disregard for a property belonging to someone else, a property he leased, whence the lease almost certainly described the condition in which the property was to be returned, which is assuredly some version of “not trashed.” The Bidens are just, to put it bluntly, horrible people.

But then, politics has always attracted horrible people.

It seems, sadly, that the property owner won’t be taking Hunter to court.

But the source said, ‘Neman decided not to take Hunter to court for the arrears. It’s not that he needed the money and frankly it was embarrassing.’

The 3,735 square foot home perched on the edge of Grand Canal has been repainted by its new owners and the Secret Service details whose blacked out SUVs became a familiar feature in the small community are long gone.

That’s a shame. Hunter, his father, and countless pols like them do these things, engage in these corruptions, for the same reasons that San Francisco retail thieves shoplift: because they get away with it. Nobody calls them to account; oh, there are investigations, and subpoenas, and photo-ops, and live interviews, and outrage expressed by all the usual suspects, but in the end, nothing happens, barring the occasional Strongly Worded Letter.

Strongly.

Worded.

And now that will happen here, and Hunter will get away with another malfeasance.
