Hunter Biden just dropped a bombshell critique of his own father’s presidency that’s got Washington buzzing.
In a marathon five-and-a-half-hour podcast on "The Shawn Ryan Show" released Monday, Hunter tore into President Joe Biden’s handling of immigration and the Afghanistan withdrawal, calling both catastrophic failures, the New York Post reported.
For hardworking American taxpayers, this isn’t just political theater—it’s a gut punch, with an estimated 2.4 million immigrants entering the U.S. annually under Biden’s watch, per the Congressional Budget Office, and a staggering 60% of them crossing borders without authorization, according to Goldman Sachs analysis.
The financial burden of supporting unauthorized migration strains public resources, leaving folks wondering why their hard-earned dollars aren’t prioritizing veterans or local communities first. This demands a full investigation into where accountability lies.
Hunter didn’t hold back, admitting the need for a robust immigration system while slamming the current state of affairs. “We need vibrant immigration,” he said on "The Shawn Ryan Show," but quickly added a caveat.
“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,” Hunter continued.
He even claimed the Biden administration had brokered a bipartisan border bill with Senators James Lankford (R-Okla.), Kyrsten Sinema (I-Ariz.), and Chris Murphy (D-Conn.), only to see it derailed.
While the White House argued legislation was the only path to secure the border, critics note that executive action—used effectively by others—has been sidelined. It’s a classic case of passing the buck when leadership is needed most.
Turning to foreign policy, Hunter’s critique of the Afghanistan withdrawal was equally scathing, labeling it a disaster that could’ve been handled better. The pullout, marred by chaos, saw a devastating ISIS-K suicide bombing at Kabul’s Hamid Karzai International Airport, claiming the lives of 13 brave U.S. service members aiding Afghans fleeing the Taliban.
“Was an obvious f—ing failure,” Hunter bluntly told Shawn Ryan on "The Shawn Ryan Show." For military families and veterans, this isn’t just a policy critique—it’s a reminder of lives lost and a mission fumbled at the finish line.
While Hunter conceded that exiting Afghanistan after 20 years was the right call, he didn’t shy away from pointing out the execution flaws. He suggested the buck stops with his father, even if generals or others share the blame. It’s a rare moment of candor, but one that leaves conservatives asking why accountability hasn’t been demanded from the top.
Visuals tied to this story paint a stark contrast between personal and policy moments. One image shows President Biden and Hunter shopping in Nantucket, Massachusetts, on November 29, 2024, a snapshot of family normalcy amid political storm clouds.
Another haunting image captures U.S. soldiers on the tarmac at Kabul airport on August 30, 2021, as a military aircraft prepared for takeoff, a somber reminder of the withdrawal’s deadly cost. These pictures aren’t just photos—they’re symbols of leadership under scrutiny.
For many on the right, Hunter’s public airing of grievances feels like a crack in the Biden family armor, but it also raises eyebrows.
Is this genuine criticism, or a calculated move to distance himself from a sinking ship? Either way, it fuels the MAGA call for transparency and results over rhetoric.
