Jill Biden: ‘What they are doing to Hunter is cruel’
thehill.com

First lady Jill Biden defended her son Hunter Biden against an onslaught of attacks from Republicans in an interview that aired Thursday, saying the barrage of allegations against him has been “cruel.”

“I think what they are doing to Hunter is cruel,” the first lady said in an interview with MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski. “And I’m really proud of how Hunter has rebuilt his life after addiction. You know, I love my son and it’s had — it’s hurt my grandchildren. And that’s what I’m so concerned about, that it’s affecting their lives as well.”

The first lady lamented the shift in rhetoric in the country when asked about the constant attacks from Republicans against the Biden family, including from former President Trump, who frequently calls President Biden “incompetent.”

“I mean, to look at it, what we used to have, and what the other side, the extremists have turned this country into. I mean, we would never see things like that, say 10 years ago,” Jill Biden said.

He is not her son. Just saying.

I refer to my step-children "sons" & "daughter". They call me "Dad".

This just makes you look pedantic & pathetic.

As a step person I can firmly say that no one that is not my parent can claim me as their child.

That is the last thing a silly little troll like yourself needs to be concerned about.

Next, you will say that your step children are “OK” with it. Like they have a choice.

LOL, triggered much, clownshoes?

Three of them are adults, they can call me whatever they want. Guess what they call me?

Sorry no one loved you growing up.

Sure thing. I am sure they all agreed to your decision to call them sons and daughters. That would be ok if true.

Also, you are arrogant for doing so.

Explain?

If they are adults and asked you to call then son or daughter that is ok. But if they are children then you are arrogant for asking them to call you that.

If they are adults and asked you to call then son or daughter that is ok.

So you admit that it's a personal matter that is none of your business. Maybe Jill and Hunter had that conversation at some point during the last 45 years and didn't bother to consult you about it.

Maybe or maybe not.

And I stand by my comments to all of the step parents out there who think it is OK to call their step children son or daughter.

That doesn't mean she can't think what they're doing to him is wrong, just saying.

Just saying that she is saying that he is her son and he is not.

If you read the article.

Throw that on the pile of impeachable offenses then, I guess?

A stepparent can call their spouse's children their own. That's not a lie or a gotcha moment.

What is the purpose of you pointing it out? Do you have an agenda or are you simply a pedant?

I don’t care about anything he has done. But she is not his Mom and he is not her son. So pedant.

Lmmfao, if she considers herself his mother who the fuck are you to say otherwise? Your semantics are irrelevant, and so is biology to who a person might call their parent/child.. 🤦‍♀️

As a step person I can firmly say that no one that is not my parent can claim me as their child.

That is “who the fuck” I am.
