WASHINGTON — Hunter Biden is marking his seventh year of sobriety with a social media blitz that’s taking the internet by storm.
Hunter, 56, began posting on his X account last month after years of dormancy, a move so surprising some wondered if the messages were fake.
The account proved both genuine and a hit, quickly amassing nearly half a million followers, most of whom have cheered Hunter’s purported honesty and dry sense of humor.
After Hunter posted a message celebrating being seven years sober Monday, one user accused him of being the owner of a bag of cocaine left in the West Wing during the summer of 2023.
“It most definitely was not. I would never have forgotten my drugs,” Hunter shot back.
The clapback got more than 242,000 likes.
Three days later, Hunter posted a tongue-in-cheek critique of a photoshopped image showing him with a drug pipe in his mouth.
“I know this may sound petty, but I can’t stand it when people… photoshop a meth pipe in my mouth,” he wrote Thursday, earning another 146,000 likes. “A crack pipe doesn’t have that little bowl at the end. This is why we can’t trust AI. Please make the appropriate edit. Thank you for your attention to this matter.”
He left the comment in response to a user who created a mock Hunter 2028 campaign poster, featuring the tag line: “Let’s smoke the competition.”
