Hunter Biden throws shade at Kamala, suggests she was picked VP because she's Black

Hunter Biden threw some not-so-subtle shade back at Kamala Harris over her new book.

Harris wasn’t exactly kind when referencing her old boss in her recently released memoir, “107 Days”. When Joe Biden’s youngest son, Hunter, was asked about it, he let her have it.

“I didn’t read it. I really didn’t. I’m just really disappointed. I’ve just heard some of the things. I tried to block it out,” Hunter told journalist Tommy Christopher during an interview.

“I’d have to admit, it’s personally painful,” he continued, “for her to, in a book, to try to distance herself and take what I would call the really easy path to distance herself to what I guess she thinks … the biggest complaint about the vice president has always been is that — which I never believe, and I really mean it — is that she is not authentic.”

Later in the interview, he paid the former VP what appeared to be a back-handed compliment.

“Let me tell you about loyalty,” Hunter went on. “The reason that he picked Kamala Harris is because of the fact that he believes, and I certainly believe, the most powerful force within the Democratic Party is and always has been the African American women.”

FOX News’ Jesse Watters picked up on the dig, saying Hunter essentially admitted she was a “DEI hire.”

Hunter Biden admits that Kamala Harris was a DEI hire.

What they get wrong is calling her a Black DEI hire … Kamala IS NOT black.

Kamala is of India and Irish descent … she doesn’t have a black drop of blood in her body or ancestry.

X users weighed in with reminders of Harris’s heritage:

Absolutely spot-on! Kamala Harris’s background is Indian and Irish, not Black. The only connection to Black heritage is through her Jamaican ancestors who owned slaves, which is a far cry from the narrative she’s pushed. Calling her a DEI hire is accurate, but let’s get the facts…
