Meghan McCain TORCHES Biden and ‘nepo-baby scumbag son’: ‘As long as you’re rich and powerful, anything goes’

June 24, 2023 | | Print Article

Meghan McCain is out with a column excoriating President Joe Biden for inviting his scandal-plagued son Hunter Biden to a state dinner this week.

As previously reported, Hunter made an appearance Thursday evening at a state dinner with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

What made the appearance of the president’s son at the state dinner so remarkable was that it came only days after he accepted a sweetheart plea agreement that critics said was highly unusual for the crimes he committed.

His appearance also came around the same time that a new report broke that he’d “invoked President Joe Biden’s name in a text message, threatening his Chinese business partner to come down on him with their full weight if the business partner did not fulfill his ‘commitment,’” as reported by the Washington Free Beacon.

Yet despite these scandals, Hunter was seen living the high life Thursday evening, and McCain was not pleased:

“Hunter Biden could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and still get invited back into the Presidential fold,” her fiery column began.

Oof.

It continued with her documenting how Hunter attended a state dinner on Thursday while “dressed in a flashy tuxedo and hobnobbing with the most powerful people in the world at a state dinner in honor of India’s prime minister.”

“In attendance were celebrities, powerful politicians, global leaders and – most pertinently – Attorney General Merrick Garland, who leads the Justice Department that just handed Hunter no more than a pathetic slap on the wrist for tax and gun crimes,” McCain wrote.

“That’s right, buried amid tragic news about the Titanic Five, it emerged that – following an arduous five-year investigation – the President’s only surviving son cut a deal with prosecutors. If he pleads guilty to two misdemeanors for ‘failure to pay taxes,’ as well as, lying on a firearm transaction record, he’ll likely avoid jail time,” she added.

The problem, of course, is that what he’s pleaded guilty to are just a few of the many, many, many additional crimes he’s committed.

“This is a man who appears to have concealed millions in income through tax dodging. Who proudly brandished a gun on camera, as he snorted and smoked all manner of drugs alongside a coterie of prostitutes,” McCain noted.

“[This is a man] [w]hose lover – his dead brother Beau’s widow – dumped his weapon in a grocery store trash can across from a school in 2018, only for the Secret Service to swoop in and seemingly launch a cover-up,” she continued.

So how did he get away with such a sweetheart plea agreement?  Because, according to McCain, he’s an “ultimate scumbag” and “the ultimate product of nepotism.”

Fact-check: TRUE.

Put differently, “Hunter’s a good boy worthy of representing the United States.” Or so his father appears to believe. McCain staunchly disagrees.

“‘I’m very proud of my son,’ Joe repeatedly mumbles like a broken record. Would he please shut up with that nonsense! No one buys it. What makes me truly sick to my stomach is that his father – our President and the leader of the free world – doesn’t express one ounce of shame for his son’s behavior,” she wrote.

“This 53-year-old man won’t even apparently allow his own daughter, Navy Roberts, the right to take his last name, for God’s sake. President Biden and the First Lady refuse to even acknowledge the four-year-old child, the offspring of a relationship – that Hunter claims he can’t remember – with a former Washington DC exotic dancer,” she added.

Hunter has also been fighting in court for lower child support payments. This week he reportedly won that battle.

“Lunden Roberts, 32, the mother of Hunter’s long-unacknowledged 4-year-old daughter, agreed to her $20,000 monthly child support payments being slashed after she showed up in person to his deposition in Little Rock last week,” the New York Post reported Tuesday.

“Roberts’ lawyer, Clint Lancaster, [said] late Thursday that final terms were still to be determined and declined to confirm that his client had agreed to a reduced monthly payment of $5,000,” according to the Post.

Yet, McCain continued in her column, this same man was able to afford the pricey $75,000 membership fee to join a private sex club in Los Angeles.

That being said, what McCain’s most concerned about at the moment are the latest allegations against the president’s son.

“On Thursday, the Republican chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee released new testimony from whistleblower Gary Shapley, a 14-year veteran of IRS and another anonymous agency source. It is potentially damning,” McCain wrote.

“Shapley was tapped to oversee Hunter’s IRS probe. He previously alleged that the Justice Department’s Tax Division and the Delaware U.S. Attorney’s Office ‘provided preferential treatment’ toward Hunter and intentionally ‘slow-walked’ the investigation, which took a whopping 5 years to complete,” she added.

She further noted that “the most shocking evidence” is a WhatsApp message that Hunter sent a Chinese businessman and Communist Party official in 2017 telling said official to either pay up or face his father’s wrath.

Hunter’s lawyer tried to dismiss the allegation by citing Hunter’s history of substance abuse.

“Any verifiable words or actions of my client in the midst of a horrible addiction are solely his own and have no connection to anyone in his family,” attorney Christopher Clark said in a statement on Friday.

McCain did not care for this.

“Here we go again. Nothing Hunter did or said during his addiction can be taken seriously, according to his defenders. Yes, they can. Joe has long claimed that he wasn’t aware of Hunter’s overseas dealings. He has said that he was oblivious to the fact that Hunter was raking in millions from a shady Ukrainian energy firm, called Burisma,” she wrote.

“But now, the Biden administration appears to be hedging on that. ‘As we have said many times before, the President was not in business with his son,’ the White House said Friday. Notice the subtle switch here? No longer are they claiming that President Biden was unaware of Hunter’s behavior. Now they’re saying that father and son weren’t ‘in business’ together,” she added.

Concluding her column, McCain then summed up her thoughts with one simple sentence: “A White House state dinner is not a family BBQ – it is a reflection of our nation. And Thursday night’s image screamed: in America, as long as you’re rich and powerful, anything goes.”
