Hunter Biden talks about dad’s worst failures, says ‘I don’t even know if I’m a Democrat anymore’

December 23, 2025 | | Print Article

Hunter Biden, the son of former Democratic President Joe Biden, appeared to somewhat concede in an interview with former Navy SEAL Shawn Ryan that premiered on Monday that his father’s border policies were disastrous.

“We need immigration — we need a vibrant immigration — but we don’t want immigrants that are coming here illegally, draining us of resources, and also being prioritized above people that are actual literal heroes that are coming home or that are still recovering from twenty-one, twenty years of endless war or anybody else in our society,” he told Ryan.

The sad states of affairs he described perfectly mirrored the state of illegal migration under his Democrat father.

However, Hunter then turned around and blamed then-GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump for the mess that his father had created.

Hunter first described how a small handful of Republicans decided to work with Democrats to “create a piece of legislation that a sitting president will sign into law that’ll at least begin to address some of these problems.”

As reported at the time, the allegedly “bipartisan” deal was a weak mess, especially compared to the broader GOP’s H.R. 2 bill. That’s why Trump at the time urged congressional Republicans to vote down the “bipartisan” deal and pass H.R. 2 instead. For this, he was vilified by the left. Hunter continued with this vilification in his interview.

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

No, Trump did not urge Republicans to vote against the bill because he wanted the border crisis to continue.

To Hunter’s credit, he did at least blame the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan entirely on his father.

“I think the failure, one of the failures was the way in which they executed the withdrawal from Afghanistan,” he said. “I think it was an obvious f—ing failure. I think thirteen Marines are dead. I think that there was a better way to do it.”

“And I think that I can blame it on his generals. I can blame it on the people, the way in which we did it, but my dad always knew this, also, that the buck stops with him. I think that was a failure,” he added.

Correct.

During the lengthy interview with Ryan, Hunter also admitted that he’s in massive debt — and this despite his having been allowed during his father’s tenure in office to sell his finger paintings for millions of dollars.

“I’ve been tied up in criminal and civil and in courts, and, you know, I mean, like, I got, you know, I don’t know, fourteen, fifteen million dollars in debt that I have no idea that I’m going to be able to pay off,” he said. “I have, you know, I mean, millions of dollars in debt that, you know, nobody’s riding to the rescue for Hunter Biden.”

“My dad, you know, entered the presidency as the poorest man to ever take the office, and he left the presidency, not the poorest, which is fine. But have no generational wealth. I don’t have any, despite what these guys say, there’s no billions of dollars buried underneath my dad’s house in Delaware,” he added.

At one point during the interview, Hunter also questioned whether his beliefs still align with the Democratic Party.

“I don’t even know if I’m a Democrat anymore,” he said. “I don’t know if I’m a part of any political [party], because it’s just, you know, pox on all your houses in my opinion.”
