AP’s shameless claim that Joe Biden never discussed Hunter’s business deals defies belief

Those of us who have written for years about the Hunter Biden scandal and the family’s influence-peddling operation routinely read media stories denying the facts and dismissing calls to investigate. This weekend, though, the Associated Press made a real whopper of a claim: that there is no evidence even suggesting President Joe Biden ever spoke to his son about his foreign dealings.

I’ve explained how the Bidens have succeeded in a Houdini-like trick in making this elephant of a scandal disappear from the public stage — by enlisting the media in the illusion. But this level of audience participation in the trick truly defies belief.

The Associated Press’ statement at this stage of the scandal was breathtaking but telling: “Joe Biden has said he’s never spoken to his son about his foreign business, and nothing the Republicans have put forth suggests otherwise.”

For years, the media have continued to boost President Biden’s repeated claim that “I have never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings.” At the outset, the press only had to suspend any disbelief that Biden could fly to China as vice president with his son on Air Force Two without discussing the latter’s planned business dealings on the trip.

Makes you why FJB and his puppet handlers are so smug about an oncoming investigation. They’ve got the entire MSM in standby mode to defend and explain away every allegation . . .

Investigations by GOP-led panels will mean zilch, as long as the corrupt DOJ will not do a damn thing, despite any evidence revealed.

The Rats will just give the GOP congressional investigators the finger and laugh in their faces.

The AP also shamelessly claims they know more than the voters of Maricopa County do about what happened on Election Day.

Hey, Matt. I think you first posted that meme about... what? Twenty years ago?

Things have only gotten worse since then. A lot, lot worse.

The media isn’t just leftist propagandist activists, they are indeed corrupt - again Trump was right.

The media had to suspend disbelief that the president could fly to China as Vice President with his son on Air Force 2 without discussing his planned billion dollar business dealings on the trip.......

***********************************************
The Bidens got rich quick on our dime.......the deals were all made in advance....in the tax paid VP OFFICE....using tax paid staff, tax paid phones, office machines and office supplies......

Bidens arrive in China.

Moron granddaughter waves to Chinese delegation as if she’s a diplomat.

Hunter gets ready to cash in.

The problem with today's reporters/journalists is they're the children of 'elites' and they lack the 'awareness of bullsh*t' that working class people acquire naturally by living around people who don't butter them up all the time.

Notice well......”Marlon Biden” fakes a tremble in his voice when Hunter is mentioned.

He did it at the Trump debates.

It worked on the naive Delawareians, too.
