BREAKING NEWS – Washington, D.C. – Joe Biden’s claim that he hasn’t spoken with his son about Ukraine during a testy exchange with Fox News’ Peter Doocy, apparently conflicts with a New Yorker story on Hunter Biden.
According to The New Yorker, Hunter Biden said he spoke with his father about his business in Ukraine “just once.”
“In December, 2015, as Joe Biden prepared to return to Ukraine, his aides braced for renewed scrutiny of Hunter’s relationship with Burisma. Amos Hochstein, the Obama Administration’s special envoy for energy policy, raised the matter with Biden, but did not go so far as to recommend that Hunter leave the board. As Hunter recalled, his father discussed Burisma with him just once: “Dad said, ‘I hope you know what you are doing,’ and I said, ‘I do.’”
Shortly after that, a twitter war broke out between Joe and Hunter, that quickly devolved into becoming personal and nasty. Here is the thread:
Joe – “My son is lying, I never spoke to him about his business dealings.”
Hunter – “Is anyone in this nation dumb enough to rely on my dad’s memory?”
Joe – “I don’t have issues with my memory you ingrate!”
Hunter – “Really? At every family Thanksgiving dinner from 2012 to 2015, we all had to wear name tags so you would know who we are. And all of 2016 for your sake, President Obama had to wear one too.”
Joe – “I mistakenly thought he was the White House chef only twice and you know it! I should’ve let the Ukrainian government rightfully lock you up, you disloyal crook!”
Hunter – “I am tweeting while wearing a MAGA hat.”
