Camerota Unconvinced Hunter Biden's Influence Peddling is Joe's Problem

Okay, so Hunter Biden was peddling influence to a Ukrainian company at the rate of $50,000 a month. And the only influence he could possibly have been peddling was that of his father, who at the time was the sitting Vice-President of the United States. But hey, why should that be a problem for Joe Biden?

That was Alisyn Camerota's apparent logic on CNN this morning. On New Day, foreign policy expert Ian Bremmer said Joe Biden does have a Ukraine problem. Bremmer said the $50,000/month that Hunter Biden was paid by a Ukrainian company was "clearly to be selling influence, because clearly otherwise no one would ever pay him that kind of money."

A dubious Alisyn Camerota responded, "and is that Joe Biden's fault or problem?"

Hey, just because Hunter was selling his influence with his father, that doesn’t make it Joe’s problem, suggests Camerota.

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

I wonder if the witch Camerota would feel the same if the name was ‘Don Jr.’ instead of ‘Hunter’...

Used to like her on Fox and Friends.

Now she’s even starting to LOOK like Andrea Mitchell.

She’s right, but she hasn’t thought this through. If this is NOT Joe’s problem, then President Trump’s discussions of the matter with the Ukrainian leader about it could not have been politically motivated.

LOL.

Only if there was "COLLUSION", we must investigate this collusion and possible obstruction by ole Joe.

Excellent question!

It's been 4 years of hell for these Libs, they've aged decades due to all their lack of sleep, hand wringing, shouting, lying, deceiving,

CNN owns Camerota now. She’s their b****.

If it were Don Jr. it would 24/7 wall to wall reporting frenzy of all time.

Well, in my humble opinion it become Joe’s problem when he extorted the Ukrainian government. Demanded that they fire the prosecutor looking into his son’s business feelings. Not only did this old fool do this, he did it while boasting about it in front of a camera. Said something to the effect of I’m leaving in 6 hours and you will not get your billion dollars unless you fire this prosecutor. That, is when it became crazy uncle Joe’s problem. It’s often not the crime but the cover-up. Joe made it his business and now he has explaining to do.

[BOBWADE]

Dealings, not feelings. Speech text fail.

Ding, ding, ding - we have a thread winnah!

If the investigation doesn’t implicate Joe, it can’t be election meddling.

[Ann Archy]

You just KNOW that Biden got a CUT!

[PGR88]

CNN is now talking about Hunter Biden’s influence-peddling in Ukraine, if even to deny it??

That was Trump’s plan all along - and he has played these fools perfectly.

[gcparent]

Hannity played thecrecirding of Joe like 20x on his radio show yesterday. Would make a great ad if Joe actually runs. I don’t think he will.

The truth is killing the media now it’s all utopia mind set.

The good thing for her is she is too stupid to realize how stupid she is. She likely believes all the climate change stuff, too...if breathing were not involuntary, it might be to complex to figure out...she’d be dead by now.
