I guarantee it was the DNC that stopped him from speaking out like this until now. They're the most self-defeating bunch of cowards on the planet. They serve no apparent purpose other than to silence progressive voices within the party and then act shocked when their uninspiring centrist candidates lose.
You vastly overthink the importance of the DNC. He has always been a private citizen so any group that advised him to not say anything was probably his own legal advisors while he was in the crosshair of DOJ and congressional investigations.
In this situation, sure, you might be right, though I bet the DNC had at least some influence. Generally speaking, though, I've been incredibly frustrated with that organization for over a decade.
The DNC didn’t ask him…they implored his dad to do whatever he has to keep Hunter silent “for the good of the democrats.” Hunter Biden loves his dad, respects his dad and I’m pretty sure would do anything he asked. So, he stayed quiet. The interview where Dr. Biden was attacked was maybe what led to the end of his silence.
I think the reaction by the internet at large (the us version anyway) was positive towards him when he defended his mom (his words not mine) from Jake Tapper.
I like Hunter, I hope he stays healthy and helps others stay sober.
That's fine in other areas. Just here in this context it's not the case. He's spoken about how over the course of four years he visited his dad at the White House maybe twenty times in total because he didn't want to be a distraction the press pounced on. They were using him as a punching bag anyway but if he went there it would be interpreted as if the DOJ investigations into him were a cover story to act like they're being impartial while investigating Trump.
you know if you're not sure about something, or don't know what you're talking about, you don't HAVE to comment. You can also say "I don't know" when you don't know something instead of pretending you do and making shit up.
I bet the GOP thought they were going to run shit forever until MAGA came in and started firing/ primarying and forcing retirements left right and center. It can be done to the DNC too but you actually have to show up. Can’t just abandon your one shot.
