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.”

“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?
He’s still a junkie, Jim.
“Here’s my thing”
— Hunter Biden
“I’ve seen you with your dick out.”
— Bill Mahr
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.
Can you imagine Hunter on crack conversing with Harris, drunk? LOL! Now THAT is a Democrat debate I could watch.
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.
You just watch.
Does he ever discuss Burisma,the big guy, Chinese shakedown?
How’s his art career?
They like him at Reddit. I can not think of a more despicable human being and they really like him at Reddit🙄
What about Chinese graft?
Let’s hear more about that!
President of what?
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.
Running for president seems like a great way to launder money and fund all your relatives lavish lifestyles.
