‘You Look Guilty’: CBS Frets Hunter Biden Interview Helped Trump
newsbusters.org ^ | n

During a panel discussion about the 2020 campaign on Tuesday’s CBS This Morning, hosts and political analysts agreed that Hunter Biden’s interview with ABC News wasn’t doing his father’s presidential candidacy any favors and might even give President Trump more ammunition against Joe Biden.

Moments later, co-host Tony Dokoupil worried: “Well, I wonder if Hunter Biden may have handed some spears to the opposition with an interview today.” A soundbite followed of Hunter Biden telling ABC’s Amy Robach: “I’m a human. And you know what, did I make a mistake? Well, maybe in -- in the grand scheme of things, yeah. But did I make a mistake based upon some unethical lapse? Absolutely not.”

After the clip, Dokoupil sarcastically joked to former Hillary Clinton campaign adviser and CBS News political contributor Robby Mook: “So Robby, does that put an end to it, case closed? He addressed this issue, it’s all over now, right? Done.” The panel laughed as co-host Gayle King jested: “Nothing to see here.”

Even Mook admitted: “I know. Sadly, look, these things are really hard. I don’t think this is going away. And there’s no perfect solution.”

However, the Democratic strategist then predictably tried to shift the focus to attacking Trump:

Look, if I were sitting next to Hunter Biden right now, I’d say, “Buck up, my friend.” I mean, what – what happened here is nothing compared to what the Trump family has done....Ivanka getting trademarks in China while she’s serving in the West Wing. You know, you’ve got Don Jr. over doing an event with the prime minister of India to sell condos. I mean, what he [Hunter Biden] did is nothing compared to that. He just sat on a board. He wasn’t doing events with foreign figures.

Sullivan called him out for engaging in “whataboutism” and hammered Hunter Biden’s poor performance:

Look, he did profit off of his father’s name. You know, at least he’s taking responsibility for it, but it does look kind of awful – if I was sitting next to Hunter Biden, what I’d say is, “Don’t ever go on TV again ever. You look awful. You look guilty.” You know?

Yes, telling the truth is so unbecoming of you and your station.

It all about “how he looks”.

Democrats don’t care if Democrats have been running one big worldwide pay-to-play extortion scheme.

That is how it works in The Swamp.

Then they lecture _us_ about morality and fair play.

CBS This morning is an abomination, it’s not morning news to start the day, it’s incessant Trump attacks and snide editorial attacks by their too cute by half loser hosts.

The ‘Lunchbox Joe’ Biden campaign is already over, kaput, dead and buried and the stench of it is slowly drifting off into the ether. The dems and Joe just aren’t smart enough to read the writing on the wall and know it yet.

Poor Hunter. Not everyone on the Left can lie with the ease and composure that is so celebrated, admired and cherised by Democrats/Leftists. If Hunter wants to be a player in Democrat/Left politics he must improve his lying skills significantly.

It could have been much worse if she would have asked a few more follow up questions.

Not the same thing.

Hunter Biden is an employee who only got the job because of his father.

Don Jr. is an owner in a family business, and not "hired" just to influence his father.

Not sure about the Ivanka thing... don't know enough to say.

All of this is without a drop of input from Ukraine. The story is a tar baby, and the more they fight it, the more stuck they get. If they had just left the classified call with Zhelensky alone, people would have forgotten that sleepy Joe had a son named Hunter. Has Schiff been trolled?

Stupid is as stupid looks. Hunter isn’t too bright, and he’s an even worse liar than his miserable father.

Donald Trump will be able to make a good commercial out of Hunter Biden’s endorsement of Trump for President.

= = = = = = = = = = =
Definitely...like Chris Plante pointed out this AM ...

When asked what were his qualifications for the Job in The Ukraine, he responded he was on the Board of AMTRAK.

Even a 4th grader would ask

‘What qualified you to be Vice Chairman of the AMTRAK board?”

Of course had it been me, I would have thrown in

“OTHER than your father being a Senator and a ‘controller’ of AMTRAK how did you have that position for 5 years and you were 38 when you quit in 2008” But that is me and some say I am not very ‘nice’...<: <: <:

Also, why did it seem necessary to become an Ensign, US Navy at age 43, needing waivers etc to get in? Oh, how did you get that waiver......<: <: <:

President Trump’s daughter and son in law were doing something constructive. Making sales on products.

WTH was HUNTER doing. PFFTT! NOTHING, at least nothing that was visible.
