Biden pushes back on Trump: 'Crass' to go after political rival's children

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden pushed back on President Trump's broadsides against his son Hunter Biden in a new interview, saying it is “crass” to go after the children of one's political rivals.

Biden was asked in an interview on the progressive political podcast "Pod Save America" released Saturday why he hasn't highlighted concerns that Trump's own family is profiting off his position in the White House, a charge Trump has made against the former vice president's son.

“It's a specific decision. And I just think it's crass,” Biden said.

“Look, I'm running against Donald Trump, not his children. And the American people want to hear about their families. Not about Trump's family or my family, although I'm very proud of my family," he said. "It's just not how I was raised. It's that basic. It's Donald Trump.”

Critics have long raised concerns about Trump's family profiting off his presidency, with Democrats maintaining that his daughter Ivanka Trump and son-in-law Jared Kushner holding positions as senior White House advisers presents conflicts of interest with their businesses.

Ivanka Trump has brushed off such criticism before, saying last year that her father ran for office after making his money in real estate.

“””“It’s a specific decision. And I just think it’s crass,” Biden said. “””””””

So Don Jr.. talked to a Russian woman at Trump Tower for a few minutes. He had to endure 30 hours of question before Congress for it.

In all fairness I say have Hunter stop by for the same 30 hours.

No Joe, children don’t travel the world raking in millions of dollars making promises to give access to the “big guy”.

Any pain Hunter has suffered in his life is Joe’s fault primarily.

Funny Joe should mention that...

Going after the candidate’s children and/or relatives has ALWAYS been one of the side games going on in just about every campaign of recent years. Crass it may be, but sometimes, the apple does not fall far from the tree.

Talk about crass. Who set up their sick son as a bagman to suck money out of countries for special considerations? What kind of father does that? What kind of American does that?
