CNN anchor Jake Tapper has publicly criticized Hunter Biden, son of former President Joe Biden, for what he described as unethical behavior and poor judgment. Tapper specifically questioned the younger Biden's continued influence and access within the White House, given his well-documented history of questionable business dealings and personal struggles.
"He's demonstrably unethical, sleazy, and prone to horrible decisions," Tapper stated during a recent broadcast. He emphasized the importance of holding public figures and their families accountable, regardless of political affiliation. The criticism comes amid ongoing scrutiny of Hunter Biden's business activities, which have been a frequent target of Republican lawmakers and conservative media outlets.
Tapper's comments reflect a broader debate about the ethical implications of family members of prominent politicians engaging in business ventures that could potentially create conflicts of interest. While Hunter Biden is a private citizen, his close relationship with the former President and his continued presence within the White House have raised concerns about potential undue influence. The White House has not yet responded to Tapper's remarks.
