GOP Rep Spells Out Biden Family Corruption, CNN Host Ends Conversation
27th December 2024
In one of the few times right-leaners weren’t outnumbered on CNN’s Thunderdome (aka CNN NewsNight), on Thursday night, Republican Congressman Mike Lawler (NY) (with back up from CNN commentators Scott Jennings and Coleman Hughes) spelled out the Biden family corruption scheme; only to have host Abby Phillip cut short their conversation with claims she’ll only talk about it if formal charges were brought (despite being reminded that Hunter Biden’s pardon covered the alleged time period).
As they were reacting to a recent tone-deaf and false complaint from President Biden that he supposedly didn’t have much money given how he’d worked in government his whole life, Hughes pointed out that the President had no legs to stand on given his family’s alleged antics.
“I think Biden should not talk about money at all. I think the Biden family’s got away with murder in the sense that – metaphorically, in the sense that they’ve really escaped a lot of close scrutiny over their foreign business deals. Hunter Biden, Jim Biden, et cetera,” he explained.
Far-left columnist Solomon Jones invoked some supreme whataboutism by trying to shift the focus to President-elect Trump. “I’m trying to figure out why we’re talking about corruption, when you’ve got a convicted felon … you’ve got a convicted felon that you’re sitting here defending who’s getting ready to be the president of the United States,” he whined.
Phillip stepped in to scold Hughes that such “speculative” conversations about Democrats would not be happening on her show.
