In a lengthy, profanity-laden interview on the ‘Channel 5’ podcast, Hunter Biden accused George Clooney of sabotaging his father’s presidential campaign and compared Trump’s supporters to the Ku Klux Klan. He also criticized Democratic leaders, accusing them of undermining his father’s campaign.
Biden took aim at both Clooney and Trump, with the former accused of undermining his father’s campaign. During the interview, he stated that Clooney, a well-known actor, had taken a stance against his father’s re-election bid by endorsing former President Barack Obama and his allies, which he claimed had a significant negative impact on his campaign.
Biden also expressed strong opinions on immigration policies, drawing parallels between Trump’s actions and historical racial segregationist policies. He referred to Trump’s supporters as akin to the Ku Klux Klan, calling him a ‘thug’ who is deporting illegal immigrants to a ‘concentration camp’ in El Salvador.
He further criticized Democratic leaders, including former President Barack Obama and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, for their roles in his father’s campaign. Biden stated that these leaders had a negative impact on the campaign by not fully supporting his father’s candidacy. He accused his father of taking Ambien to sleep during the campaign, which he claimed was a factor in his poor debate performance.
Biden also criticized former Vice President Kamala Harris for not receiving full support from Democratic leaders, despite his belief that she would have been an excellent president. He expressed disappointment over the lack of unity within the Democratic Party and the absence of political courage among its leaders.
The interview, which spanned several hours, included various personal attacks and criticism of prominent political figures. Biden’s comments have sparked significant media attention and debate, with many questioning the validity of his claims and the implications of his statements on his father’s campaign and the broader political landscape.
