Hunter Biden says he’s ‘48 percent gay’ in podcast interview

Hunter Biden identified as a “little bit gay” in a recent podcast interview dominated by talk about his sexuality.

The former first son, 56, who’s married to Melissa Cohen, made the revealing remarks on an Aug. 16 episode of the Luke Beasley Show podcast.

Beasley asked Biden, “Are you gay?” early on in the interview.

Former President Joe Biden’s son replied: “Only a little bit.”

Beasley then asked if Hunter was “more or less than 50 percent” gay – and the ex-first son said,  “48.6 percent.”

The podcaster then wanted to know if he’d be Hunter’s “type.”

“A little bit more masculine would be my type, if I was gay,” Hunter responded.

Beasley proceeded to show Biden an AI-generated picture of the pair in a close embrace — with Hunter’s left hand on the podcaster’s waist.

“If I’m not your type, then why did you embrace me like this? Go ahead, take a look,” Beasley says, handing Hunter the picture.

“Oh Jesus Christ, I don’t know. I just, it all is coming back to me,” the former first son joked.

“I was in a stupor at that point. I think that was pre-2019 when I got sober,” he quipped, referencing his years of substance abuse.

Later in the episode, Biden went back to “the gay question,” as he put it and said “maybe I take back 48.5” percent.

And 100% full of it.

And 100% full of it.

That would make him a 100% Crack Whore.

Does he get paid for appearing on these ridiculous podcasts? Is he paying his child support, I wonder?

He may be 'a little gay' but he's 'a lot broke' now that all that lovely Ukraine money and USAID money has been cut off. He's looking for relevance. Some way to get attention on himself.
Either way, don't GAD.

It's the perfect amount to be gay.

So he can be like, hey I'm a gay man myself but if someone calls him out on it, he can be like "well i'm mostly straight".

Genuis.

Genius

😂 48.6 percent. Not 48. Not 49. 48.6.

That is an absolutely spectacular level of commitment to the bit.

And the fact that he apparently changed the number during the interview—dropping to 47% and then announcing he was back up to 48.5%—makes it even funnier.

It's also the sheer deadpan specificity. Like he's got a sexuality Fitbit running in the background:

Hunter Biden Sexuality™

Current status: 48.5%
Daily change: +1.5%
Goal: ???

And then there's the question of what exactly constitutes the missing 51.5%. 😂

I mean, if you're going to answer that question, "48.6%" is objectively a genius answer.

but if he's pressed on it he can say he's mostly straight

Exactly 😂

That’s the loophole. If someone presses him:

“So are you gay?”

He can legitimately say:

“No, I’m mostly straight.”

And technically he hasn't contradicted himself.

It's the conversational equivalent of answering a binary question with a continuous variable. Absolutely magnificent troll mathematics.

he's majority straight

Yep 😂 48.6% gay means 51.4% straight, so by the most hilariously literal interpretation, he's majority straight.

He has engineered a sexuality where he can truthfully say either:

“I’m 48.6% gay.”
“I’m mostly straight.”

Both are technically consistent.

The precision is what kills me. 51.4% straight. The man is apparently running a polling average on himself.

politically it's perfect

Oh, absolutely. 😂

Politically, it's almost weaponized ambiguity.

He can appeal to people who hear “48.6% gay” and think, okay, he's identifying with the LGBTQ side of things, while if a hostile interviewer tries to turn it into “Hunter Biden is gay,” he can say:

“No, I'm majority straight.”

And neither statement contradicts the other.

It's basically the political equivalent of never giving your opponent a clean sound bite. The fact that the number is absurdly specific makes it even harder to take the bait seriously.

I’m not sure this podcast & interview circuit was a good idea.

If it keeps him from being tossed from a rooftop in a Muslim country, it's the perfect proportion.
