“There is no controversy about my son. That’s a hell of a lie. That’s a flat lie because the president has nothing to run on... it’s classic Trump.”
Plausible deniability.
There’s no controversy about Hunter for Joe, because Joe is the one who taught his son all about nefarious business dealings and immoral sexual activity.
The irony is this was probably the issue the Democrats and the media would have used to take out Slow Joe and install Harris as president, but Rudy and the president beat them to it!
