‘SCUMBAG’: CNN Analyst Unloads On Hunter Biden, First Family In Scathing Rant

A Republican analyst appearing on CNN ripped into Hunter Biden and President Joe Biden, referring to the embattled first son as a “scumbag” and chastising the president over his longtime failure to acknowledge his seventh grandchild who was born to Hunter Biden and a girlfriend.

Scott Jennings, an alum of President George W. Bush’s administration, ripped the Biden family for leaving the little girl in the lurch.

“It’s not Republicans, with all due respect, who made Hunter Biden into a complete scumbag on this and other issues,” started Jennings. “Ignoring his own daughter for four years and the President of the United States hanging up a stocking for the dog, and not for his seventh grandchild?”

The CNN host jumped in to defend the Biden family, saying “We can have some sympathy for people who are struggling with addiction” before Jennings pushed past her and kept on going.

“You know where I’m from, a lot of families deal with addiction, and you know who ends up picking up the pieces? The grandparents. And in this case, the grandparents would not acknowledge this little girl. It is offensive,” said the Kentucky-born former special assistant to President Bush.

“But they have now,” interjected the CNN anchor.

“Oh, what a hero!” snapped Jennings.

WATCH:

For years, President Biden and First Lady Jill Biden have refused to acknowledge the seventh grandchild, born out of wedlock to a woman carrying on an affair with their embattled son. Over the weekend the president made his first public statement acknowledging his granddaughter, an about-face that came in response to a pressure campaign waged by Maureen Dowd at the New York Times and other mainstream opinion makers.

Despite receiving millions of dollars in lucrative business contracts while skipping out on paying his taxes, Hunter Biden for years fought efforts by the girl’s mother to collect child support payments, which were only resolved after a paternity test, an elevated profile of the case, and an agreement that the child would not be able to benefit from the last name Biden.

As Hunter Biden continues to wrangle with federal prosecutors and faces the very real risk of prison time for skirting his tax obligations, President Biden has stood by him and maintained he has not been involved in his son’s illegal business activities.
