The verdict undermines their claims that the U.S. Department of Justice has been “weaponized” against Donald Trump and his supporters.

Several prominent Republicans said they were not impressed by the guilty verdict against President Joe Biden’s son on Tuesday, complaining that the government should have busted him for worse crimes.

A Delaware jury found Hunter Biden, 54, guilty on three counts related to a gun purchase in 2018 when he was addicted to crack cocaine. Hunter Biden’s crimes carry a prison sentence of up to 25 years.

“This trial has been nothing more than a distraction from the real crimes of the Biden Crime Family, which has raked in tens of millions of dollars from China, Russia and Ukraine,” Karoline Leavitt, a spokesperson for Donald Trump’s Republican presidential campaign, said in reaction to the verdict.

      The Saudis are not China nor Russia nor Ukraine. They are ultra-cool chads who we love because of their traditional family values and based fossil fuel empire.

      The Ukrainians are woke, soy, and gay, so you’re not supposed to make money from them. The Russians are Evil Communists who want to Destroy America (except when they’re chads we love because they’re Trad Orthodox Christian or based fossil fuel guys). And the Chinese are China, which is the worst of the lot.

      This is all very obvious to a person who knows things. If you don’t know these things, you’re probably also woke and gay.

      Jared Kushner’s technically his son*-in-law*.

      Nevertheless, Jared got rich because he was smart and cool and good at deals. Hunter got rich because he was dumb and lame and a lazy piece of shit. Its totally different, because Kushner codes as “rich” and Biden codes as “poor”.

    I thought the Right To Bear Arms was NOT to be Infringed? I’m SURE Republicans will be Angry soon enough that Hunter Biden’s Right To Bear Arms was Infringed on! Or does Hunter Biden need to murder a classroom full of Kindergarteners before Republicans come to his 2A Defense?
