America is tired of Joe and Hunter Biden ‘weaponizing addiction’ as a get-out-of-jail-free card

People have been sympathetic and indulgent toward Hunter Biden all his life — and maybe that’s part of his problem.
Only a heart of stone could fail to ache for the little injured boy who lost his mother and baby sister in a car accident, who was used as a wan, bandaged prop by his power-hungry father for a campaign photograph at his hospital bedside that has underpinned Joe Biden’s political career ever since.
But at 53, it’s time to grow up.
Hunter’s self-pitying op-ed in USA Today was ridiculous.
It was a transparent attempt at misdirection as congressional investigators close in on his father’s financial involvement in the family’s corrupt influence-peddling scheme.
“What troubles me is the demonization of addiction, of human frailty, using me as its avatar and the devastating consequences it has for the millions struggling with addiction, desperate for a way out and being bombarded by the denigrating and near-constant coverage of me and my addiction on Fox News … and in the New York Post,” he wrote.
But our coverage is of corruption, not addiction.
