Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden responded to Sen. Ron Johnson's (R-Wis.) claim that his son Hunter Biden had profited off of their family name, saying the GOP senator should be "ashamed."
Biden in an interview with WISN 12 News accused Johnson of launching a "last-ditch effort" to smear his family before the election, saying there was no legitimacy "whatsoever" to Johnson's claim.
It's the last-ditch effort in this desperate campaign to smear me and my family," Biden said, comparing it to efforts by Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani to dig up dirt on the former vice president.
Johnson, chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, is one of two GOP chairmen who released a controversial report in September focusing on the younger Biden's business ties.
The senator criticized Biden during an interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity on Monday night, saying, "Hunter Biden, together with other Biden family members, profited off the Biden name."
What we revealed in our 87-page report is a vast web of connections with Chinese nationals, with people all over the world. Again, trading on the Biden name, Johnson said.
He further blasted the media for suppressing the information, which is a scandal in and of itself.
Biden pushed back on those remarks, noting that Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) had previously criticized the GOP probe into Bidens son for appearing political.
Even the man who served with him on that committee, the former nominee for the Republican Party, said, there's no basis to this, Biden said. And you know and all and the vast majority of the intelligence people have come out and said there's no basis at all. Ron should be ashamed of himself.

Johnson needs to hit back - immediately.
Hes got Biden responding, so point out the FACTS and demand a reply.
Another non-denial denial.
SIC EMM, SENATOR JOHNSON!!
Joe Biden knew his son was molesting his own grand daughter and did NOTHING..Biden is all about protecting HIMSELF
Oh. So it’s been debunked. Well. Time to move on, I suppose.
No basis, other than incontrovertible facts.
This is all Joe has to hit back with, telling his accusers they should be ashamed of stating the obvious.
What was the Republican report a few months back that supposedly clears Joe of wrong doing in Ukraine? Who was the chair of the committee and what was the actual finding? Did they address the video at the Council on Foreign Relations meeting where he used U.S. funds in a quid pro quo to fire Shokin?
Not only did he not deny the charge, but he demonstrated what has become the default Democrat defense of reverse projection, which is nothing more than “I’m rubber and your glue” of third-graders.
But Biden should not be ashamed of any of this? Including about pawing countless little girls in private areas on camera?? No one ever asks him about his inappropriate touching. I know tons of men who love kids. Not one ever pets and sniffs and gropes them, nor positions them in front of him squarely over his crotch. This Part of Biden is proven and on video.
The sad fact is that EVERYONE in Washington profits from their positions. Just look at congressional salaries versus their actual worth. They all leave congress millionaires.
I'm familiar with this tactic, having sometimes borne the brunt of it in real life:
< Upon being caught red-handed in the perpetration of a crime > "How dare you accuse me of having perpetrated this crime! Shame on you! Don't you understand how offensive it is for you to accuse me of this?! Don't you have any respect for my fee-eelings?"
Regards,
The vast majority of people with brains know you accepted money from Hunter's influence peddling of YOU, Joe Biden.
That should have been “I’m rubber and you’re glue,” obviously.
The denials are damning. How does a coke head get multi million dollar business deals i he isn’t using papa’s name?
Ok, after a response like that, it’d be nice if the damn gloves come off and release some photos, videos, emails that prove otherwise.
Frankly, the Ukraine issue alone should have both behind bars, and there’s ample evidence of it.
Another non-denial denial.
Joe Biden knew his son was molesting his own grand daughter and did NOTHING.
Exactly. The Biteme camp was trying to get through this with no comment. Johnson need to keep him talking.
