‘Sleazy and Prone to Horrible Decisions’: Jake Tapper Goes Scorched Earth on Hunter Biden

COURIC: “How big a factor was the Hunter stuff?”

TAPPER: “I think it was considerable. I think Hunter was driving the decision-making for the family in a way that people — he was almost like a chief of staff of the family.”

COURIC: “Does that strike you as pretty bizarre?”

TAPPER: “It’s bizarre because I think he is provably, demonstrably unethical, sleazy, and prone to horrible decisions.”

COURIC: “Tell me how you really feel.”

TAPPER: “Well, I mean, I just — just look at the record. I mean, after his brother died, he cheated on his wife with his brother’s widow and then got her addicted to crack. That’s just one thing I could say. I mean, there — I don’t have a lot of personal regard for him. And just based on having nothing to do with — I barely have ever met him. I’ve met him like once or twice, but I knew Beau. Beau was great, upstanding guy.”

COURIC: “I knew him too. Really —“

TAPPER: “A real loss, for the country too. Not just for his family, for the country. But Hunter is not that. And the idea of letting him drive the family car, as it were, is just really, really questionable.”
