Hunter Biden made a few starling admissions during a recent conversation. In particular, he opened up about how he got the financial resources to support a drug addiction. Since then, Fox News personality Greg Gutfeld has weighed in on the story.
Hunter Biden Opened Up About Drug Use During A Recent Podcast Appearance
Hunter is a businessman and a disbarred former attorney. He is the son of former president Joe Biden and his first wife, Neilia Hunter Biden.
Hunter recently appeared on David Manheim’s Dopey podcast. At the time, he made a startling admission concerning drug use and how he funded it.
During the conversation, Hunter shared, “Well, I still had the residual, like, for instance, I was still on the board of Burisma.” Burisma is a Ukrainian-based energy company founded in 2002. Hunter’s father, former President Joe Biden, previously served as a board member. Hunter explained that he took over the position after his father became former President Barack Obama’s Vice President.
Hunter continued, “The requirement of the board would be that I would show up for four meetings a year. Even when I was a crack addict and out of my mind, I could show up for four meetings a year.”
Greg Gutfeld’s Guest Erin Maguire Also Wondered About The Impact The Admission Could Have
Since then, Hunter’s comments were criticized by Greg Gutfeld during his show, who called his board position a “cushy job.” As he mused, “He only had to show up four times, making a million, whatever how much … allowed him to fund his crack and hooker habit.”
Erin Maguire was Gutfeld’s guest on the show and she appeared to share his sentiments. She noted, “Yes, he was. He was completely correct, and Hunter Biden is the gift that keeps on giving.”
Maguire also weighed in on the impact Hunter’s admission could have. She shared, “Every time Democrats think they’re done with Hunter Biden and Joe Biden and Jill Biden, the egotistical Biden crime family comes out of the woodwork and decides they need to be in the middle of the news again.”
As noted by Radar Online, Hunter has been candid about his past drug addiction. The outlet also noted his past, which included six felony and six misdemeanor convictions. At one point, he faced 17 years in prison. However, his father granted him a presidential pardon while still in office.
