Biden Emotionally Speaks About Being Proud Of Son Hunter Overcoming ‘Drug Problem’ | NBC News
Wholesome
Trump WHAT dose your children’s have the same things you have nothing did you share with your money with your children’s. O I’m sorry you paid them then you took a write off.okay.
Joe you Son got paid by Russia Shot up laier You are Posion
Funny the guy that wrote the three strikes law and jailed thousands for drug charges for his sons drug charges drppped . That’s the only white privilege that exists .
As someone who’s coming up on his fifth year of sobriety, Biden talking about his son’s recovery really struck a chord with me. Too many people see addiction as a moral failure, something that never happens to “good people”. But it can happen to anyone; it could be your sibling, your parent, your best friend. They might be fighting a battle inside that you know nothing about.
Joe’s not perfect. Nobody is. But he’s a good man.
CegeRoles if good men are corrupt
DB Cooper If blocking witnesses from testifying in your own impeachment trial isnt corruption I don’t know what is
Now I know for sure that the trump kids are crack heads because trump projects more than a drive-in movie.
Why is Ivanka and her Husband in the current administration with no prior experience?
Trump lobs personal insults because he can’t argue policy, Trump interrupts constantly because he can’t debate earnestly, Trump lies endlessly because the truth never serves him better than distortion. This man failed upwards because 40% of our voting population is dumber than a bag of rocks.
TRUMP is honnest
He loves Americans
He is a GREAT PRESIDENT
Hé is against B Gates and WHO Killing VACCINES.
He is against LUCKDOWN
He is fighting the devil to save América and the Word
You are blind
Every time Donald speaks in a presidential capacity he works to divide the country and in this case, sew division between a father and his son. His supporters eat up his rhetoric, but this time I doubt anyone enjoyed hearing that. Donald continues to sink to a new low. I am so disappointed in my country for electing this disgusting individual and for giving him a tangible shot at winning a second term.
Everyone is saying they’re laughing at America while everyone who knows what’s going on is laughing and crying at all of you idiots being distracted by the media. As stupid and gullible as can get
The fact that trump bring up his son his just said like where your brother at 😹🙊
Hahaha 😂 bribes from China Ukraine .
That’s it, I’m voting for Joe Biden now. He cares and has class.
Proud of you. So very proud of you 💙
That’s just a snapshot why the military doesn’t even support the president.
How much money did Hunter get paid???? CNN please tell us.
lmao…..your son is a junkie, liar, thief and a dishonorably discharged asswipe…..so much to be proud of
Biden’s son did use his dad’s position when he was vice president to earn tons of money in Ukraine. I love a good roast!
Trump is trash
Thought this was the best part of the debate showing Bidens real character. If Biden is elected I think America can turn the ship right. Let’s go America get out and vote – the rest of the world can’t deal with another 4 years of Orange guy either! D:
Why is he taking about Biden’s son being a “loser”? He’s got his whole family in the gov!
No doubt Joe Biden is being pumped full of testosterone and extended release amphetamines
Trump:” Your son was dishonerably discharged”
Bro you’re literally a draft dodger how tf can you even talk
Battle rap rules dog no government names & no kids, Biden 3-0
Am Republican, at the end wher truth need to be spoken need to be said, Trump has no business bringing family members into this debate, i respect Biden standing up for his kids on that side of the debate, Trump need to leave family members out of this debate, his kids are not perfect either
Trump 2020
I’d call this unforgivable if Hunter wasn’t involved in illegal corrupt activities due to his father’s power. I also have no remorse considering the internet called Barron Trump autistic when he was merely 10 years old.
The “internet” calling Barron Trump autistic isn’t a valid excuse. The vast majority of people who spread those memes are no older than 12, and Obama/Biden have seen their fair share of derogatory memes as well.
Voz It’s stupid to assume Hunter is a child instead of a grown man with no self control who is a corrupt criminal. You don’t want to talk about Barron being called autistic how about when Don Jr receives criticism all from the media? Oh but they must be no older than 12 either right? It’s ok to call Don Jr corrupt but Hunter is a part of the protected class. Please tell me more
the fact that Boe Biden was a soldier and patriot does not necessarily mean Joe Biden is going to be a good president. Dont equate sympathy with electability.
If you still defend trumpet after this, you need a new beginning.
“I’m proud of my son”. That’s humanity. That’s love. A moment of beauty while someone else is trying to demonize and make a mockery of an addict. This was the most human moment of the debate in my opinion
“humanity” is refusing to support your illegitimate daughter from an affair with a stripper, that’s love…
A moment of beauty…
This was the best part of the debate. Hunter is a recovering crack addict. People don’t want to hear about the money that was funneled by Joe watch Glen Becks video Biden Ukraine scandal explained!!!! He never mentions Hunter and wouldn’t have if it wasn’t for Trump!!!! Trump 2020
u cant start bringing his sons into it hes already had to bury two of his kids and his wife. my daughter died an the pain is the worst thng in the world. the worst thng. for donny T to jus say tht -.- he needs to chill its not tht deep y thy even arguin i wunt dare stand ther an argue infront of the world. if we think back especially from 2017 to now, i jus remember how our whole world started deteriorating, we jus need better choices a better way n a happier place. when i step outside i jus feel an irreversible change. nothin will ever be the same n i miss everything so much.
As a person who supported Trump in 2016, I have to say. This statement brings up so many conflicting views for me. I think the foreign money is a fair question. The drug abuse…. That went too far. I never dealt with a coke problem, or a pill problem, but as a recovering alcoholic, I can say it hurts to hear that from our president. Addicts aren’t broken. Quit talking about them like they r. It takes a lot of strength to admit that you have a problem, and it takes even more strength to deal with it. Addicts are human too. Keep the talk to real issues of national concern like foreign money, or policy, but leave the drug problem out of this.
Signed; a questioning Trump supporter.
biden’s son was a Marine corp lawyer in Iraq. a tough day for him was when the AC broke down. his draft dodger dad should stop bringing him up and talking like he was a combat soldier.
If you vote for trump your either rich or a RACIST … take a look at your bank account if you need help figuring out which one YOU are
Having a drug problem doesn’t make you sub-human or any less of a person. Considering America is stricken with a crippling opioid crisis which stems from the Nixon and Reagan administrations, it’s much more common to know someone struggling than you might think. Drug addiction isn’t to be laughed at and shouldn’t be considered taboo.
I have a brother that went to heroine addiction, it no jokes crackhead this or crackhead that, its funny to you, but to me he was the older brother i love and still do, he still inside,i.wish i can see him again😢
Terrible choice trump. Biden has my vote no matter what now
trump is a fighter and lonely wolf. .😂 but he did gud on foreign trade deal guys 👏 seriously he did a gud job..
he thoroughly studied all loop holes n did gud for the country.. democrats are orators (bla bla) but not gud for the country
Thanks President Trump.Trump needs to ask these political creeps about taking bribes for their family because the media won’t. Pathetic loser son gets paid millions by Russia and Ukraine.
Oh, but he got the COVID19. Oops.
Yonkaboo Exkaboo Corrupt druggies are off limits.
Bigbradwolf
Oh, you mean Trump’s coke sniffing sons? Yeah, I agree!
Trump said “I don’t know Beau, I know Hunter” and gosh be darned, Joe has a son named Beau Biden!
If someone talked about my son like that in the way that Trump did I doubt I would be able to maintain composure. In fact, I would probably curb stomp someone. Seeing Biden stand strong, stay composed, all while being on the verge of breaking down into tears shows that this man is strong and has resolve. Biden sold me on this one. He is the man I want to call my president.
Druggies are pathetic losers.
No such thing as a conspicuous service medal. One son a hero the other a thief
Hunter loves Russian money
And Trump loves Russia, Iran and China money. Oops.
im crying. that was SOOOO disrespectful on SO many levels
TRUMP IS HOPE… HE IS THE HOPE FOR A BETTER WORLD
And now he as the COVID19. Good one!
@Yonkaboo Exkaboo good people will be tested… satans own people will be safe
Kk K lol wtf
@Yonkaboo Exkaboo LOL LOL its a bouncer for …liberals. never understand
Kk K
Mmhmm what about them?
Both are ridiculous. Of course both of these men do/did what they can to help their offspring.
He is a crook
Wow. This is ridiculous but I’m really impressed with how Biden handled it
Hunter got 3.5 million from the Russia millionaire, why there is no media coverage
ARE YOU GUYS SO IGNORANT? HUNTER BIDEN WAS INVOLVED IN VERY SHADY DEALS WITH BURISMA AND OTHER FOREIGN BRIBERY, under fake cover . MILLIONS AND BILLIONS HANDED TO HIM FOR NOTHING, BECAUSE HIS FATHER COULD NOT ACCEPT THE BRIBERY , IT IS ILLEGAL. so his son received it for him.
Hunter Biden is being investigated by international investigations,
regarding several countries handing him a ton of money for NOTHING.
during his father’s tenure as VP in the Obama admin. IT’S CALLED
INFLUENCE PEDDLING , BY BIDEN AND HIS SON. receiving huge sums of money
in exchange for favors in that administration.
Biden..dad of the year…
o boo hoo. What father is not proud of their druggie son
In The Fight For The Soul Of America
A criminal would be proud of another criminal, I suppose.
Ok why would you drag your dead son on everything I know it’s hard to lose a son in war but please for once don’t be so proud to use the dead as your own political defense.
I’m not a fan of either of them, but Biden handled this really well. Trump is such a man child, it’s embarrassing.
This was suppose to be about the $$$$ Hunter Biden received
Hunters Dead
Biden is such a liar… His son is a drug addict and as corrupt as he is. Duh.
POSOTUS
I’m from Indonesia, and I’ll be honest everyone I know here is laughing at Trump, including myself.
Hunter Biden : I’m In LoVe WiTh ThE CoCo
If you are proud of that kind of son ….. You have a bad brain (I don’t speak english very well)
TRUMP 2020🙏🏻
Just 48 hours after Trump made a joke of Biden’s big mask , he is now tested positive of covid-19 and I am sure that Trump wished he had even a bigger mask than Biden’s !
The moment joe said he was proud of him, I cried.
Barron Trump will be taking all of this in. God protect him.
0:40 🥺 let him be president it’s ok joe 🥺
If orange man wins again it confirms USA is straight joke
Your son is a thieve.
*_*
Hunter is a Crackhead who denied being father until a DNA test proved Hunter impregnated a stripper while he was screwing his dead brother’s widow. Are Democrats really this brainwashed and/or ignorant?
“Oh really” ?? 😂🤣😂😂 trump is like a little kid
Biden is an honorable man! He respectful! Trump is the complete opposite! We need peace, comfort and intelligence dealing with all the turmoil our country is dealing with!
Say it with me, Biden for President!!!
This is one of the most powerful moments really made me view Biden differently
Sad thing is he is still so proud of his son even after Congress released information that Hunter is more then likely into child trafficking.
live long and prosper Mr President D.Trump
🖖🇺🇸🖖🇺🇸🖖🇺🇸🖖🇺🇸🖖🇺🇸
Trump 2020
drug addicts
i definitely lost a lot of respect for trump for that…
For Biden to react the way he did there was really good. He could have gotten angry, just not responded and said it was off limits. But by the way he said that, he sounds like he genuinely proud
Trump is a scum bag
I am watching US president debate.
Biden looked so shocked that the president of the United States called out his son who was a military survivor. This is why trump can’t be a president
Wow! If this is true then it looks bad on Joe Biden. How can someone run a country when he can’t even fix problems in his own home
Do you know what kind of things go on in trumps house? The man has 3 baby mothers and a million kids .
@Mariama I didn’t quite understand. You mean a mother has 3 babies? Sorry, I find some Americans English are very different.
In my opinion I don’t think either should get elected but trump bringing up Biden’s son in an election is just a low blow man trump gonna get hate and lost votes because of that
The fact that Biden look at the camera and stated how proud he was of his son despite all the things he’s done/ been through says a lot of the person he is. No matter what Trump said he stuck with his son looking at the camera telling everyone how proud he was! That’s amazing.
I’m crying. That was so heartfelt.
bahhh bahhh baaaahhhh listen to the sheep defend a coke head who took millions from burisma and Russia and accuse trump of being russias puppet. did ANY OF YOU HEAR WHAT HAPPENED TO KILLARY THE OTHER DAY? BET YOU DIDNT!!!
I wonder if Joe got a piece of the action from little Joe?
The fact that Trump would even speak Beau’s name, who is Biden’s DEAD son, is despicable. And then to mention Hunter and his drug use is just an added layer. Appalling.
Says that his son being thrown out of the military for drug use is simply not true but later says he’s proud of him for overcoming his addiction🤔 okay I guess
Ppl are too soft in this comment section lmao
This moment upset alot of people all of the world. Kids and parents are off limits. I would have whooped his behind
And this is the president most of America feen for SMFH #biden2020💙
I get a full body cringe every time Trump says “CHEINUH” 🥴
Hunter was in line with the shady business
