Reportedly contained on Hunter Biden’s laptop is a draft letter penned to his father, current President Joe Biden, after then-VP Biden accepted the Presidential Medal of Freedom in a speech delivered on Jan. 12th, 2017.

Measuring almost 750 words, the letter is an emotional, oftentimes incoherent rant in which the younger Biden appears to express resentment over his father allegedly not paying certain family members their due tribute during his acceptance speech.

The letter, as reported by The National Pulse, begins with Hunter describing a weird, bizarre family structure in which everybody’s beholden to his father, yet his father has paid them back by allowing them to be publicly and privately humiliated again and again.

“Dad you have to listen- then you can do whatever you want. I’ll make it the last time and you can ignore it or i hope at least acknowledge that the three people On earth who have lived their lives in service to you who love you more than the next 30 combined have suddenly all Concluded for their own reasons that you have finally crossed the line- that we won’t be publicly and privately humiliated while those that publicly and privately humiliate us our [sic] held to the world as the loves of your life the life of your…,” the first barely coherent paragraph reads.

Based on the wording, it’s suspected that Hunter’s referring to his step-mother, Jill Biden, because he notes how the person who “publicly and privately humilate[s]” them is considered the love of his father’s life.

Hunter continues by contrasting the way his father expresses love with the way his beloved aunt and uncle do.

“Love is an action dad not an emotion. Think how your brother and sister express their love for you. They do anything you tell them to do and have their whole lives. You act as if I have no right to tell you about what you did or didn’t have or haven’t done with your siblings. Well that’s just absurd,” he writes in a rare moment of total lucidity.

The next part grows incoherent again, but it appears he’s complaining about his father only thanking his wife, Jill, for “saving” the family.

He specifically writes about how he and his own brother Beau (who died of cancer in 2015) — both of whom were sons of Biden’s first wife, Neilia Hunter Biden, not Jill’s — had relied on his uncle, his aunt and his “mom mom,” i.e., his grandmother on his father’s side, to get by after Neilia’s death.

“Uncle Jimmy is my best friend and aunt Val is my mother – and if you make me ever feel like saying that is somehow la [sic] betrayal than [sic] know this every time over the last 30 years you say ‘she saved OUR lives‘ with aunt Val standing right next and never mention her I feel like grabbing the mic and saying she may have saved his life but beau and I were pretty happy with Mom mom and Aunt Val,” he writes.

It’s believed the “she” highlighted above is Jill. And indeed, the then-VP did only thank Jill (and not his brother, sister and grandmother) in his acceptance speech by saying those exact words, “she saved our lives.”

Note that “the accident” Biden referred to in his speech was a reference to the tragic death of his first wife and their daughter, Naomi.

The letter continues with Hunter talking more about family members — sans Jill — helping him and Beau overcome losing their mother, though it begins to grow quite incoherent. It’s believed he’s specifically talking about how his aunt wasn’t mentioned in his father’s acceptance speech.

“Loosing Mommy was more like expect it might be to be born without legs you know something really really important isn’t there but don’t quite know why it feels so incredibly absent when you can’t remember it’s presence. And then you learn to walk and get bionic legs and a set of wings,” he writes.

“Mom mom and Aunt Val saved MY life dad they saved Beaus life Dad you saved our lives— i understand the lie serves your purpose Dad but to make two boys who had the three greatest mothers god could conceive taken from them that they had to buy into it or they would be betraying you is pretty awful- because that is not choice we would ever even let sit in our minds a moment. That’s an act of love dad and the greatest act of love is that your sister never once even in the slightest way would allow us to believe that it must be torture to be written out of the greatest love story ever told.”

The last paragraph repeats the same pattern, except this time Hunter zeroes in on his uncle.

“Do you who has done more for me been more loyal and is actual embodiment of your line – if you have to ask it’s too late. Uncle Jimmy is the only person I have ever known by a factor of ten that has never asked first . 1 have seen him take punch after punch in the face from every drowning family member he has saved and when the crowd of gawkers gather around and say wow that was so brave so selfless he without exception says what do vou mean that was my brother who not me. Well where did you get the broken nose and black eye- and the whole family says well you know Jim he’s reckless he’s a hothead he leaps before he looks– he’s a lovable tornado. How do you let that stand?” he writes.

“Because it there is one hero in this story that deserves the Medal of Honor for throwing himself on the grenade it’s my uncle and it’s like Groundhog Day no matter how hard he try’s to rewrite the story each time he puts himself back together again it’s the same ending-/ there’s a grenade in the living room on Christmas Eve and the whole family gathers around and postures and pontificates or hides under the couch or pushes someone in front of them and there’s uncle Jim missing both legs in a wheel chair with one eye and maybe not until Ive seen him do it a hundred times before does he say ‘come on – guys at least heip me out of my chair and this time please don’t make me drive myself to the hospital- get me a cab and I’ll pay you back.'”

“So dad on arguably the most rewarding day in your career you [fail] to even say and I want publicly thank the heart and soul of this family the…,” the letter concludes as inherently as it’d begun.

Below is his father’s acceptance speech. Biden indeed never once mentioned his brother, sister or mother in it …
