Hunter Biden's Still Lying: 'There Is No Laptop'

Hunter Biden is a shameless liar. It's just as true today as it was in the midst of his binges on crack and hookers. It's also true that the elitist media have long shown a deep desire to ignore him entirely, and when they couldn't, it was a sad family tragedy, so head for the handkerchiefs.

The Daily Caller reports that Hunter went on "The Shawn Ryan Show" podcast to unload more whoppers, and no lie was more shameless than this: "What I can tell you about the laptop is that there is no laptop. That's bulls--t." Ryan replied, "There was no f---ing laptop?"

Hunter implausibly claimed, "There is an actual physical laptop that somebody had, but the guy that had, that said he had the laptop, the existence of the search for the laptop came before he was even a twinkle in Rudy Giuliani's eye." He started babbling about how Lev Parnas "literally went to Ukraine" to get a laptop ... four months before John Paul Mac Isaac ever even ... existed. And so, what they did is they cobbled together (a) stolen, concocted, fabricated mishmash of digital information, largely, which is, you know, thousands and thousands and thousands of emails ... from 25 years. I mean, no laptop could have held all of that."

He later added: "There's nothing in the laptop other than a record of me being a degenerate, a degenerate drug addict in my, at the worst moment in my life."

All of this is false. Hunter brought the laptop to Mac Isaac's shop and then forgot it there for years. It was not "stolen" or "concocted." It contained evidence that Hunter Biden was exploiting his father's power for personal gain, which he then wasted on drugs and sex workers.

Fox News added that Biden also claimed in their interview that the super-rich always avoid the consequences for their actions. As if Hunter didn't avoid the consequences of his actions by having his daddy in the White House pardon him for everything that may have happened from 2014 to 2024?

Acting like an advocate for normal Americans -- a category he clearly doesn't fit -- Hunter said only the rich are benefitting today.

"Yeah. Not regular guys," he told Ryan. "Not the guys you served with, not the guys that I went to high school with, not the, you know, nobody that I know," Biden said. "You know the people that are benefiting and the people that seem to have always some way (to) avoid the consequences and win and that's, you know, the .1%. And it's not even the 1% anymore."

Biden clarified that he did not believe "all billionaires are evil" but that "every one of us" were "victims of the algorithm."

"What we do is that we allow ourselves to be driven by our algorithms to believe things that just are not even remotely true and which then we all give up. Like you just said, nobody's held accountable," Hunter said.

Hunter Biden is the one who's "not even remotely true," and yet, he's never been "fact checked" by the "independent fact checkers" at PolitiFact. There are pages for two Duncan Hunters, Todd Hunter, Tony Hunter and Hunter Schwarz, but no Hunter Biden. This isn't true of other presidential progeny: Donald Trump Jr. has 21 fact checks, Ivanka has nine, and Eric has five.

Almost every elitist media operative who brays about being essential to democracy or holding politicians accountable failed to report honestly on how the Bidens exploited national office for personal gain. Saving that mission for the Trumps alone just cements their partisan reputation.
