Hunter Biden pleads to God for justice at family bar mitzvah ceremony

G-d help him.
Less than 24 hours after a special counsel was named to probe Hunter Biden’s alleged tax and gun crimes, and while GOP investigators continued to search his bank records for signs of influence-peddling, the first son was begging the Big Guy upstairs for justice – as he led a public prayer at his nephew’s bar mitzvah.
The Aug. 12 trip to Marietta, Georgia brought Biden, 53, and wife Melissa to a suburban synagogue for the coming-of-age ceremony of Jayden Cohen, 13, the son of Melissa’s brother Davan.
“Our God and God of our ancestors,” Biden beseeched the Almighty in the traditional “Prayer for the Country” at the shabbat morning service of Congregation Etz Chaim, Hebrew for “tree of life.”
“Pour out your blessings upon [our] leaders and judges,” Biden read — including, presumably, his father President Biden, as well as the Delaware federal judge who rejected his sweetheart plea deal last month.
“Help them understand the rules of justice.”
“Grant us the knowledge to judge justly,” he added later in the lengthy invocation.
Biden — whose performance was captured on the synagogue’s livestream and posted to social media — dressed like a schlub for his nephew’s big event.
The nominal Catholic, the only male relative to attend sans necktie, fiddled repeatedly with a baseball-patterned yarmulke pinned to his head and kept a traditional tallit prayer shawl scrunched askew over his shoulders.
