Showing Original Post only (View all)Hunter Biden blames his father's poor 2024 debate performance on sleeping pill [View all]
Hunter Biden blamed the sleeping pill Ambien for then-President Joe Biden's disastrous debate performance against Donald Trump last year.
The younger Biden made the remarks in an expletive-laden interview on YouTube's "Channel 5 with Andrew Callaghan" that was released Monday, the first anniversary of his father's decision to drop out of the presidential race.
"I know exactly what happened in that debate. He flew around the world, basically mileage that he could have flown around the world three times, hes 81 years old, hes tired as s---, they give him Ambien to be able to sleep, hes gets up on the stage and he looks like hes a deer in the headlights," Hunter Biden said in the interview.
"And it feeds into every f---ing story that anybody wants to tell."
The former president's office declined to comment.

Definitely worn out. But gave him Ambien before debate, or he was still feeling it 20 hours later?

He isn't. He's attacking Dems and giving the GOP meat while the GOP is melting down.

He spent from Saturday to that Thursday morning at Camp David (same time zone as Atlanta debate)

Yes. Also, Hunter's driving his father's 1960s Corvette the day after the plea agreement did not help.

I empathize with his outrage but he's the wrong vessel for that, in my view.
