Joe Concha Mocks Hunter Biden’s ‘Sanctimony’
UNITED STATES, JUL 22 – Hunter Biden walked back his claim that Joe Biden took Ambien immediately before the June 2024 debate, attributing poor performance to travel and jet lag, amid ongoing political scrutiny.
- Hunter Biden claimed in a June 2024 interview that his father’s poor debate performance was partly caused by taking Ambien the night before the event.
- This claim emerged amid ongoing investigations by the House Oversight Committee into President Biden’s cognitive state and whether family members managed his duties.
- Joe Concha, a writer for the Washington Examiner, rejected Hunter Biden’s justifications, emphasizing President Biden’s thorough debate preparation and questioning the sense in administering Ambien to an elderly man suffering from sleep apnea.
- Concha criticized Hunter Biden's justification, arguing that responsibility lies with Biden and his team since they established the debate conditions that Trump accepted, and described Hunter's remarks as particularly self-righteous.
- The controversy underscores political tensions as Hunter received a presidential pardon late last year from Joe Biden, who set records with over 4,200 clemencies, while Republican investigations and Democratic criticism continue.
