Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden responded to Sen. Ron Johnson's (R-Wis.) claim that his son Hunter Biden had profited off of their family name, saying the GOP senator should be "ashamed."
Biden in an interview with WISN 12 News accused Johnson of launching a "last-ditch effort" to smear his family before the election, saying there was no legitimacy "whatsoever" to Johnson's claim.
“It's the last-ditch effort in this desperate campaign to smear me and my family," Biden said, comparing it to efforts by Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani to dig up dirt on the former vice president.
Johnson, chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, is one of two GOP chairmen who released a controversial report in September focusing on the younger Biden's business ties.
The senator criticized Biden during an interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity on Monday night, saying, "Hunter Biden, together with other Biden family members, profited off the Biden name."
“What we revealed in our 87-page report is a vast web of connections with Chinese nationals, with people all over the world. Again, trading on the Biden name,” Johnson said.
He further blasted the media for “suppressing the information, which is a scandal in and of itself.”
Biden pushed back on those remarks, noting that Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) had previously criticized the GOP probe into Biden’s son for appearing political.
“Even the man who served with him on that committee, the former nominee for the Republican Party, said, ‘there's no basis to this,’ ” Biden said. “And you know and all and the vast majority of the intelligence people have come out and said there's no basis at all. Ron should be ashamed of himself.”

Well, if you want to get technical about it, they didn’t trade on the Biden name so much as on Old Joe’s position of power and influence. Tom-a-to tom-ah-to, it all comes down to complete and total corruption.
Remember when Joe said he never discussed Hunter’s business dealings with him?
Yeah? Neither does Joe.
I agree. Suggesting isn't nearly strong enough.
OK, big guy.
Hunter Biden has been paid millions. Not bad for a guy with a three-word resume.
“Joe Biden’s son”
Biden pushed back on those remarks, noting that Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) had previously criticized the GOP probe into Biden’s son for appearing political.
“Even the man who served with him on that committee, the former nominee for the Republican Party, said, ‘there’s no basis to this,’ ” Biden said. -

Joe, will you state that while under oath ? PLEASE!
Joes reply “ He wasn’t abusing her. They were very much in love and and is the reason he stopped dating her mother. “
They didn’t profit from their name.
They profited from their crimes.
Yes
Best comparison I’ve heard on FR is that Beau Biden was Micheal Corleone and Hunter is Fredo.

I keep thinking of the line from that silly movie, “Six Days and Seven Nights”:
BRUNETTE: It’s like after a funeral. Everybody has sex.
SCHWIMMER: No. They don’t.
I think that in the Biden household, they do.
