Hunter Biden on why he continues to speak about his addiction and recovery “They created this platform for me. They tied me to a post, threw their fruits and vegetables, lit me on fire. And when the fire went out and the crowd went home, I was still standing. And I still had a platform.”

      He seems like a genuinely compassionate and sensible person who is trying to do the best he can for others with the platform he’s been given on account of his father. I’m by no means a fan of the Democratic Party, particularly the establishment, but at least he’s goddamn respectable which is more than you can say for most of the folks riding Trump’s coattails to disgusting amounts of wealth.

      Wasn’t this the dude who was offered a lucrative job in Ukraine’s nuclear program while being dumb AF?

      He’s probably just been caught in the crossfire. People do it to trumps kids too, baron etc., it’s really sad. Just cause your father’s the pres of the opposition doesn’t mean we should attack their families.

      I appreciate that he’s owned up to his mistakes. That’s such a challenging part of getting clean

      The Trump administration really made fun and villainized an addict, expecting the country to laugh and point. Or shame him.

      Yet, millions across the world have suffered with addiction. Or has a loved one who has suffered, and/or died. This is not something to entertain. I’m proud of him for standing his ground, and clapping back at them. He was used as a punching bag for far too long. And it’s endearing to see him recovering and fulfilled.

      I love how he is reclaiming the conversation about himself and owning it. Not letting the right define his journey. I also love that he is being so messy and shady sometimes.
