Hunter Biden Torches Dad’s Presidency In Jaw-Dropping Interview

Hunter Biden unloaded on his father’s legacy in a bombshell podcast interview, calling out the Biden administration’s border policies and the disastrous Afghanistan exit.

Appearing on “The Shawn Ryan Show” in a five-and-a-half-hour interview released Monday, the 55-year-old son of the former president criticized policies that defined much of Biden’s White House tenure.

“We need vibrant immigration,” Hunter Biden said. “But we don’t want immigrants that are coming here illegally, draining us of resources, and being prioritized above people that are actual, literal heroes, that are still recovering from 21, 20 years of endless war — or anybody else in our society.”

During Joe Biden’s presidency, an estimated 2.4 million immigrants entered the U.S. each year, according to the Congressional Budget Office, with a Goldman Sachs analysis finding that roughly 60% crossed the border illegally.

Hunter Biden also claimed earlier in the interview that the White House had secured Republican support for a broad border bill negotiated by Sens. James Lankford, R-Okla., Kyrsten Sinema, I-Ariz., and Chris Murphy, D-Conn., before it collapsed in an election-year standoff.

“And then Donald Trump stepped in six months before the 2024 election, and told Republicans that he was gonna primary every single one of them that voted for that, because we’re addicted to the problem,” he said.

While the Biden administration argued it needed congressional action to secure the border, Trump relied heavily on executive authority during both of his terms to tighten enforcement and curb illegal immigration.

Hunter Biden was even more blunt when discussing the chaotic 2021 exit from Afghanistan, calling it “an obvious f—ing failure.”

“I think that there was a better way to do it, and … I can blame it on his generals, I can blame it on other people for the way in which we did it, but, and my dad always knew this also, is that the buck stops with him,” he told host Shawn Ryan.

The withdrawal culminated in an ISIS-K suicide bombing at Kabul’s Hamid Karzai International Airport that killed 13 U.S. service members as they worked to evacuate Americans and Afghan allies amid the Taliban takeover.

Hunter Biden said he still believed leaving Afghanistan was the right decision, but echoed Ryan’s frustration with how it unfolded.

“I think leaving Afghanistan was the right thing to do,” he said, before agreeing with Ryan’s assessment of the withdrawal. “I hear your anger about that. And I don’t have any response to it other than the fact that I know that my dad came from a position that 20 years was enough, and it was not in the interest of anyone in the United States [to remain there].”

The remarks mark some of the most direct public criticism yet from the former president’s son of decisions that defined Joe Biden’s presidency.
