Former Obama administration aides are ridiculing Hunter Biden after he launched a public tirade against the Democratic elite, claiming he has been scapegoated and abandoned by his father’s political allies. In recent remarks, Hunter accused top Democrats of using him as a “punching bag” to distance themselves from his scandals, insisting he has been unfairly targeted.
According to Fox News, several former Obama staffers privately dismissed Hunter’s complaints as self-inflicted, mocking his attempt to paint himself as a victim. One unnamed aide reportedly said Hunter “has only himself to blame” for years of questionable business dealings, drug abuse, and legal troubles that have damaged his family’s political image. Others noted that his outburst only deepens tensions within an already fractured Democratic Party.
Hunter Biden’s comments, made during a recent podcast interview, targeted what he described as the “hypocrisy” of Democratic leaders who publicly champion compassion but privately distance themselves from his personal struggles. He also accused powerful figures within the party of leaking damaging stories to the media.
The backlash from former Obama officials underscores the growing rift between establishment Democrats and the Biden family. With President Trump now in office, many Democrats are eager to move past the Biden scandals.
Conservatives argue that the sharp reaction from Obama-era aides proves long-standing fractures within the Democratic Party. They say Hunter’s ongoing controversies remain a political liability, even for Democrats looking to regroup ahead of future elections.
The Biden family has not publicly responded to the criticism from Obama’s former team.
