Yes, spot on! Before all of the Hunter Biden smearing by the media, I had read Hunter Biden's book about his addiction and was very impressed by his honesty. So all the "smears" I already knew about because Hunter Biden wrote about them in his book! Including the prostitutes.

One part of the book in particular that really got to me (I cried when I read it) was when Hunter describes an "intervention" that Jill and Joe tried to stage to get Hunter back into rehab. The ruse was a family dinner but as soon as Hunter walked in he saw two counselors from a rehab he'd been to previously. He said he look up at his dad and saw the fear in his eyes. Hunter got angry and walked out, his father (Joe) ran after him saying: "Hunter, I don't know what to do! Tell me what to do!". He said his father just looked terrified and hugged him, crying and asking him (Hunter) how he could help him.

I'm so sick of the circular firing squad, and I'm glad Hunter Biden is calling it out.
