Daily Mail, McCain blasted Hunter, son of President Joe Biden, for recently cutting a deal with prosecutors. Hunter has pleaded guilty to two misdemeanors relating to non-payment of taxes and a charge of dishonesty on a firearms form.
He will likely avoid jail time.President Biden has always shown support for his son. Asked last week by reporters about the plea deal, Biden Sr merely said, “I’m very proud of my son.”Hunter was reportedly in attendance at a White House event on Thursday night held in honor of India’s Prime Minister.
Also in attendance was Attorney General Merrick Garland. The presence of both men at the same White House function, in the same week as news of Hunter’s plea deal emerged, enraged McCain, daughter of the late Republican Senator John McCain.“We’re dealing with an elitist scumbag, the ultimate product of nepotism,” McCain said of “America’s disgraced First Son”, with no trace of irony.She went on to list what she perceived as Hunter’s many failings and alleged dodgy business dealings.“Hunter is still trading on his family name,” McCain said. “He’s selling artwork to anonymous buyers for hundreds of thousands of dollars.
And we all know the only reason that he can command those prices is because his dad is president.”Coincidentally, Meghan retained her own maiden name when she married husband Ben Domenech in 2017— but that’s probably nothing to do with the status of the McCain brand, right?Here are a few responses on Twitter.Meghan McCain calls Hunter Biden “an elitist scumbag, the ultimate product of nepotism”.
