Hunter Biden Trashes Democrats, Including George Clooney, in Podcast Appearances

In a pair of podcast appearances over the past several days, Hunter Biden, the son of former President Joseph R. Biden Jr., appears to be trying to settle scores with Democrats he sees as having contributed to his father’s political undoing.

Mr. Biden delivered a broad critique of the party last week on the debut episode of a podcast hosted by Jaime Harrison, the former Democratic National Committee chairman, arguing that Democrats lost the 2024 election because they did not remain loyal to his father.

In a separate, three-hour-plus podcast released on Monday, the younger Mr. Biden named names, unleashing a profane tirade against a host of perceived enemies, including the senior Biden aide Anita Dunn; the Democratic éminences grises David Axelrod and James Carville; the Obama administration alumni who built Crooked Media, a booming liberal podcast network; the CNN host Jake Tapper; and the actor George Clooney.

In a single minute-long clip, he used a version of the same expletive 13 times.

His interviewer this time was Andrew Callaghan, a YouTuber previously known for crisscrossing America in an R.V.

In the videotaped conversation, Mr. Biden dismissed Mr. Clooney as “a brand” and Mr. Carville as someone who “hasn’t run a race in 40 years.” Mr. Axelrod, he said, “had one success in his political life, and that was Barack Obama, and that was because of Barack Obama.”

The former Obama aides behind Crooked Media and its “Pod Save America” flagship, he said, were “four white millionaires that are dining out on their association with Barack Obama from 16 years ago.”
