Hunter Biden Reacts To Question About Presidential Run: 'Here's My Thing...' (“so sick” of hearing about his laptop controversy)
Huffington Post ^ | 8/22 | Hilary Hanson

Posted on 08/22/2026 10:17:51 AM PDT by Libloather

Hunter Biden replied to a blunt question from Bill Maher about a possible presidential run with a self-deprecating joke about his past.

The comedian opened his interview with the son of former President Joe Biden by saying he was “so sick” of hearing about his laptop controversy.

“I know everything about the laptop,” Maher said on Friday’s episode of “Real Time.” “More things than I want to know. I’ve seen you with your dick out. I’ve seen you with a crack pipe in your mouth.”

He then pivoted to a more timely matter.

“My question: Are you running for president?” Maher asked.

Biden sarcastically replied, “I’m gonna announce,” with a laugh, before Maher pressed, “Have you thought about that?”

“No, I haven’t,” Biden said, before quipping, “Here’s my thing: If I announce for president, somebody should check and see if I relapsed.”

Biden has been candid about his struggles with addiction, describing in his 2021 memoir a “deep descent” into alcoholism and drug use after the death of his brother, Beau Biden, in 2015. Now seven years sober and a recovery advocate, Biden hasn’t shied away from joking around about his past challenges. In June, he said on X that cocaine found at the White House in 2023, during his father’s presidency, was “definitely” not his, explaining, “I would never have forgotten my drugs.”

Ain't no party like a Hunter party. Waters on Fox said the crackhead may be their best option.

“Now seven years sober and a recovery advocate, Biden hasn’t shied away from joking around about his past challenges.” Is Hunter really clean and sober?

I can see democRATs voting for Hunter. They must see him as morally superior to themselves.

One thing about Hunter: when he says “pardon me” he means it.

Favorite 1980s Walter Mondale joke about whether he was going to run.

The guy says to reporters gathered around him: “Once again, I have been asked if I’m going to run for President. I’m not. And stop asking that again and again because it’s driving my campaign staff crazy”

Motel 6 is going to leave a light on for him. As when he left a loaded .45 and some cocaine on the car seat in the lot outside the motel room where he was passed out on the bed with a prostitute.

Hunter vs. any of the Dem dunderheads on the debate stage would be most entertaining.

Hunter’s got two things going for him: name recognition and a D at the end of that name.

All he’s got to do is list himself on the ballot as H. Biden, D

Yes, many voters really are that stupid.

Hunter wants to be President of the United States.

Hunter knows he would fit in with the current commie 'revolutionaries' groups consisting of 'children of 'elites' who had life handed to them on silver platters and still it wasn't enough... (shed a tear here)

If that doesn't describe Hunter then nothing does. Poor little spoiled rich kid... He's a crybaby no working class person would allow to run their restaurant or 7/11 so he thinks he should be President of the United States.

"How’s his art career?"

Art? I don't think those paintings were art. I think they were receipts.

Running for president seems like a great way to launder money and fund all your relatives lavish lifestyles.
