First lady Jill Biden defended her son Hunter Biden against an onslaught of attacks from Republicans in an interview that aired Thursday, saying the barrage of allegations against him has been “cruel.”

“I think what they are doing to Hunter is cruel,” the first lady said in an interview with MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski. “And I’m really proud of how Hunter has rebuilt his life after addiction. You know, I love my son and it’s had — it’s hurt my grandchildren. And that’s what I’m so concerned about, that it’s affecting their lives as well.”

The first lady lamented the shift in rhetoric in the country when asked about the constant attacks from Republicans against the Biden family, including from former President Trump, who frequently calls President Biden “incompetent.”

“I mean, to look at it, what we used to have, and what the other side, the extremists have turned this country into. I mean, we would never see things like that, say 10 years ago,” Jill Biden said.

    Just saying that she is saying that he is her son and he is not.

    If you read the article.

      Throw that on the pile of impeachable offenses then, I guess?

      A stepparent can call their spouse’s children their own. That’s not a lie or a gotcha moment.

      What is the purpose of you pointing it out? Do you have an agenda or are you simply a pedant?

        I don’t care about anything he has done. But she is not his Mom and he is not her son. So pedant.

          Lmmfao, if she considers herself his mother who the fuck are you to say otherwise? Your semantics are irrelevant, and so is biology to who a person might call their parent/child… 🤦‍♀️
