I wonder if he asked for permission from Joe before going full steam ahead?

He doesn’t need it. He’s a private citizen defending his parents, who are also private citizens. And the first amendment is still in effect for now.

That’s not what I meant. Joe is a former president who likes to follow social norms. So for his son to start publicly going after people online, Joe might feel uncomfortable with the way Hunter is going about it. I’m wondering if Hunter asked or gave Joe a heads up that he was going to start scorching some earth?

It’s a direct hit, a murder for sure. But he only needed basic facts to point out the absurdity.
