Hunter Biden said Republicans are trying to “kill” him by engaging in a public campaign to force him into a relapse to destroy his father’s presidency.
“They’re trying to destroy a presidency,” Biden told musician Moby on his podcast, “Moby Pod,” in an episode that was released Friday.
“What they’re trying to do is, kill me knowing it will be a pain greater than my father could be able to handle, and so therefore destroying a presidency in that way,” Biden said.
“I realized that it’s not about me,” he added. “And then the second thing that I realized is that these people are just sad, very, very sick people that have most likely just faced traumas in their lives that they’ve decided that they are going to turn into an evil that they’re going to inflict on the rest of the world.”
The podcast episode was released one day after Biden was indicted on nine tax charges — three felonies and six misdemeanors — in California.
The charges come as the House is also set to vote next week to formalize their impeachment inquiry of President Joe Biden. House Republicans have accused President Biden of profiting off Hunter’s business dealings overseas and was improperly influenced by them while serving as vice-president.
Despite months of investigation, they are still unable to find any evidence to support their allegations.
House Oversight Committee chairman Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.), subpoenaed Biden for a closed-door testimony about his business deals. But Hunter requested a public hearing to avoid having his testimony manipulated to fit a narrative. Comer has denied his request and is threatening to hold him in contempt of Congress if he does not appear for a closed-door testimony on Wednesday, Dec. 13.
“I’ve stopped hoping for an end to this because as long as my dad is president of the United States, they’re not going to stop,” the younger Biden said during his podcast interview.
He insisted that he is going to “survive” the attacks and stay sober.
“I’m gonna survive it clean and sober, because I am not gonna let these motherf**kers use me as just another example of why people in recovery are never gonna be OK, never to be trusted, they’re all degenerates,” he said. “I’m just not gonna let that happen.”
