Hunter Biden is not afraid to critique the choices his father, Joe Biden, made during his presidency, and recently called him out for the hand he played in not prosecuting Donald Trump following the January 6th attack on the US Capitol. Calling it “the single greatest mistake of my father’s administration,” Hunter did not hold back his true feelings on the matter. Keep reading for more information.
Hunter Biden Thinks Joe Biden Made One 'Greatest Mistake'
Over the weekend, Hunter appeared on an episode of Jennifer Welch's I've Had It podcast, and the topic came to Biden's appointment of Merrick Garland as US attorney general. "One of the things that pisses me off is the Merrick Garland DOJ and the not prosecuting of Trump. And that they prosecuted you," Welch said.
"My take is this, and removing myself from it as much as I can, my personal feelings, is the single greatest mistake of my father’s administration was the leadership of Merrick Garland," Hunter began.
"The reason that we are in the situation that we’re in right now can almost… by the way, the buck has to stop with my dad," he continued. "He was the president and he chose him. Now, once he chose him, he played by the, you know, a higher standard than the Marquess of Queensberry rules. He played by the Constitution and the tradition that the president will never, you know, particularly since Nixon, involve himself in any decision-making as relates to anything at the Department of Justice. So, I guarantee you there was a division between church and state there."
He also turned to Garland for the blame in not prosecuting Trump for any role in the January 6th riots at the Capitol. "If Merrick Garland had started a completely 100% legitimate investigation rather than thinking like let’s not fan the flames… did you not watch what I watched? Did you not see the people storming the Capitol of the United States of America, beating cops and running congressmen and senators literally out of the building? You didn’t see that? You didn’t see a president and know that it was a concerted and planned effort on their part beginning all the way back from the day before the election when they knew they were going."
Hunter then suggested that his father only chose Garland as a favor to Obama, who previously pushed him for Supreme Court justice. "Obama picks this milquetoast candidate. Your dad is a decent man, felt bad about what happened to Merrick Garland. And he played integrity politics. Like, well, ‘I’m going to make him whole and make him attorney general.’ And then Merrick Garland gets there, and he’s like, 'Well, we can’t upset these crusty White Republicans,'" Hunter said. "Massive mistake."
