Have you ever noticed how some people will blame everyone but themselves when things don’t go their way? It’s like watching a toddler knock over a lamp and then point accusingly at the family dog. The Democratic Party has been playing this blame game since their crushing defeat to President Trump last November, with excuses ranging from media bias to voter suppression.
But just when you thought you’d heard every possible excuse, someone new has entered the blame Olympics with perhaps the most eye-rolling claim yet. And wouldn’t you know it? It comes from someone who knows a thing or two about avoiding responsibility.
Hunter Biden, the president’s troubled son, is now claiming that Democrats lost the election because they weren’t loyal enough to his father. In an interview with former DNC Chair Jaime Harrison for his new podcast “At Our Table,” Hunter didn’t hold back his frustration with his father’s party.
From ‘Breitbart News’:
“You know what, we are going to fight amongst ourselves for the next three years until there’s a nominee. And then with the nominee, we better as hell get behind that nominee,” he reportedly despaired. “And I will tell you why we lost the last election. We lost the election because we did not remain loyal to the leader of the party. That’s my position. We had the advantage of incumbency. We had advantage of an incredibly successful administration and the Democratic Party literally melted down.”
Imagine that! According to Hunter, it wasn’t President Biden’s disastrous debate performance that doomed Democrats. It wasn’t the skyrocketing inflation or the border crisis either. Nope, according to the First Son, Democrats just weren’t loyal enough to dear old dad.
Let’s talk about this “incredibly successful administration” Hunter mentioned. The same administration that presided over the highest inflation in 40 years, a historic border crisis, international embarrassments, and approval ratings that would make even Jimmy Carter wince. That successful administration?
The Loyalty Lecture from a Pardoned Felon
What makes Hunter’s loyalty lecture especially rich is his own personal situation. This is the same Hunter Biden who was convicted in two federal cases in 2024 – first on gun charges and later on tax evasion. And what happened next? His father pardoned him on his way out the door.
Nothing says “success” quite like a presidential pardon from your dad! Perhaps Hunter’s definition of loyalty is simply “do whatever the Biden family wants, consequences be damned.”
Hunter also pushed back against claims that he wielded significant influence in the White House. “I was in that White House 12 days over the course of the last two years of the administration,” he insisted, according to Fox News. Yet reporter Josh Dawsey has noted that Hunter helped his father make campaign decisions and often joined in on calls.
But hey, who are you going to believe? Hunter Biden or your lying eyes?
Democrats’ Circular Firing Squad
Hunter’s blame game comes hot on the heels of former President Barack Obama’s own criticism of the party. Obama recently told fellow Democrats to stop whining and start fighting, saying they need to “drop the fetal position” and toughen up.
The timing is particularly interesting considering how quickly Democratic leaders like Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi turned on President Biden after his June debate disaster. After that performance, the party didn’t exactly rally around their “incredibly successful” leader – they showed him the door.
Hunter’s complaint about disloyalty conveniently ignores that his father’s cognitive issues had become impossible to hide. The Democratic Party didn’t “melt down” for no reason – they were responding to the obvious reality that Biden couldn’t effectively campaign, let alone serve another term.
Democrats are still pointing fingers in every direction except toward a mirror. Hunter blames disloyal Democrats. Obama blames wimpy progressives. And somehow nobody wants to admit the simplest explanation: voters rejected their policies.
The Biden family seems to believe they were entitled to unwavering loyalty regardless of competence or results. It’s the same entitled attitude that apparently made Hunter believe tax laws and gun regulations didn’t apply to him.
For a party that claims to champion accountability, Democrats sure have a hard time accepting it. Perhaps instead of listening to loyalty lectures from a pardoned felon, they might try looking at why voters sent them packing in the first place.
Key Takeaways
- Hunter Biden blames “disloyal” Democrats rather than his father’s failures for the 2024 election loss
- The president’s son received a pardon for his felony convictions while lecturing others about loyalty
- Despite calling the Biden administration “incredibly successful,” voters clearly disagreed at the ballot box
- Democrats continue blaming everyone but themselves for their election defeat
