Joe Biden's presidential campaign ripped The New York Times for “giving top billing" to Peter Schweizer after the newspaper published an op-ed from the "Clinton Cash" author that contends that the former vice president was "self-dealing" in Ukraine during President Obama's second term.
CNN reported the objection came in a letter Wednesday night to the Times executive editor, Dean Baquet, from Biden deputy campaignmanager Kate Bedingfield, who called the decision to run the column an "active participation" in a "smear campaign" against the former vice president.
"This leaves us with a critical question: are you truly blind to what you got wrong in 2016, or are you deliberately continuing policies that distort reality for the sake of controversy and the clicks that accompany it?" Bedingfield asks Baquet.
Schweizer wrote in the op-ed, titled, “What Hunter Biden Did Was Legal – And That’s the Problem," that "Congress can and should conduct an inquiry to determine whether anything illegal occurred."
"As vice president, Joe Biden served as point person on American policy toward China and Ukraine. In both instances, his son Hunter, a businessman, landed deals he was apparently unqualified to score save for one thing: his father," Schweizer also wrote.

Wow, Creepy Joe can’t take the most obvious hint. The NY Times is telling you it’s over, dude!
how much did the whistleblower,
and his bevy of whistleblowers,
make on the trips when
he/they accompanied Biden and son to Ukraine?
Why was the whistleblower’s son there, too?
It would be rich if Biteit pissed off the Times!
ROFLMAO!!!!!
That’s the FIRST time you’ve used that?
It’s GREAT.
Thought I would have seen it MANY TIMES though the years :)
It could be used for all kinds of occasions :)
The NYT doesn’t want Biden. He’s too white and too old and too straight.
Kind of sucks for Joe to be a Deep State favorite for so many years, but suddenly he finds himself locked out in the cold. It wouldn't be the first time Leftists did this to their own.

Thanksgiving is soon.
Surely we'll have stuffing threads.
The op-ed was very soft by Peter Sweitzer standards. He was just pointing out what has been reported over many years in the press about relatives of elected officials suddenly getting hired to companies they know nothing about to provide access to the powerful. Its mostly an opinion rather than any investigative expose. Who could argue with Congress investigating these cozy conflict of interest deals?
All the king’s horses, and all the king’s men...could not find Hunter Biden again....
Joe believes that the best defense is going on offense.
He has achieved his goal: he’s very offensive now.
Quid Pro Joe..... your rump roast is done....cooked.
