Hunter Biden responds to Chris Cillizza

Dear Chris,

I can start by telling you who my audience is not.

It is NOT you.

It is NOT the pundit class that rarely leaves the safety of its Georgetown cocktail parties.

It is NOT the chattering class who gets paid to pretend it knows the mind of the American people.

It is NOT for anyone who looks at everything through the lens of politics.

The people I am talking to are tired of the bullshit.

The people I want to speak with are the 50 million Americans still sick and suffering. The families fighting for the lives of the those they love.

Whether they are people living in the shame and fear of being canceled, or consumed by grief after the loss of someone they love, they are just looking for a slight glimmer of hope that they too can get back up again.

My audience is the people who feel unheard, unseen, and uninvited, just like me.

My audience also includes my perceived enemies, those pitted against me by you and your colleagues in the media. I want to meet them where they are and help build a bridge. A bridge built of that which connects all of us. That’s where we begin to actually heal.

And it’s not as if my intent is difficult to understand or discern. Just read and listen to what I have said on this platform, and the 18+ hours of unscripted pod casts I have done.

I think your shock as to why anyone would care says far more about you than it does about me. Take a look at the comments to your post.

And I also know this: people are tired of the bullshit. They’re tired of you and the chattering classes’ obsession with my family as Rome burns.

So instead of wondering why people care about what I have to say, Chris, maybe you should concern yourself with why no one cares anymore about what you and everyone you represent has to say.

1. Hunter Biden is all out of fucks................

GQP tormented the Biden family for years and still doing so.....................

The dick pictures was over the top.

[niyad]

2. chris who?

[dem4decades]

4. You are correct, Chris Nobody.

He is related to Bill Nobody that has a show on Friday nights.

[displacedvermoter]

9. Distant kin to David Nobody

who keeps showing up PBS Newshour every Friday...

[dem4decades]

28. A distant cousin of Scott Asshole on CNN.

[relayerbob]

14. Came here to say just this

[Bev54]

24. Exactly, the same question should be put to himself.

Who cares about his re-emergence? Nobody. I would much rather hear from Hunter than him, never liked him when he was on CNN, don't like him now.

[Bluetus]

32. I can't believe Cizilla asked this question

I mean, he's a whole lot less relevant to notional news than Hunter Biden is.

Probably 50% of the country can say who Hunter Biden is.

It couldn't be 1 in 1000 who has ever heard of this Cizilla character.

[markie]

3. Thank You Hunter Biden!!

[Wuddles440]

5. I'd like to think that was a major butt hurt...

for Chrisie Poo, but he most likely lost him after "Dear Chris".

[nuxvomica]

6. Cilizza seems to have a chip on his shoulder

He was one of the chattering class that was vehement about Biden stepping down in 2024 and doesn't want to hear anything from the Bidens. So what's bothering him? Maybe all the negative opinion press at that time helped Trump defeat Harris. Maybe he feels a little bit responsible for all that has happened since.

[SocialDemocrat61]

10. Not just the Bidens

He has a real problem with Democrats. He was fired from the Washington Post for a sexist video attacking Hillary Clinton.

[Cha]

39. But no problem with a

Homicidal maniacal-Pedophile?

Someone has to be really dense to ask an insulting question like that on a world platform.

Just thought he'd pile on the anti-Hunter Biden bandwagon?

TY!

[buzzycrumbhunger]

7. Never cared about Hunter Biden...

Just another privileged white dude who was rich enough to buy drugs and whatever because of the family he was born into.

But *this* Hunter Biden? I’m really digging the shitposter. ‘Bout time someone fearlessly stood up to the fascists and their enablers. A+

[niyad]

19. Don't forget that he lost his mother and sister in a car accident when he was young.

Both he and Beau were injured. We do not know what kind of marks that left.

[PatSeg]

8. Hunter certainly has a way with words

His memoir "Beautiful Things" was remarkable and heart wrenching. Nothing I have ever read captured the experience of being an addict quite like Hunter did. It took a lot of tissue to get through it though.

[niyad]

17. Agree with you about hiis memoir.

[PatSeg]

25. And now we can see that he is truly

a very talented writer and he is using his skill very effectively.

[Joinfortmill]

11. Whoa! Go Hunter!

[thesquanderer]

12. Chris Cillizza is just butthurt because more people want to hear from Hunter Biden than from Chris Cillizza. (nt)

[ABC123Easy]

13. Hunter speaks for me

[sop]

15. Does Cillizza admonish Don Jr. whenever he posts one of his stupidities?

[niyad]

18. Of course not.

[democrank]

16. Gargantuan K & R

Three cheers for Hunter and his plain talk honesty. I’m so fed up with the Beltway point of view.

[LuvLoogie]

20. Brilliant

[lostnfound]

21. A Theme Most Beautiful: Redemption. HuntedAndFound

It’s ironic how ready these right wingers are to toss people permanently on the trash heap of history, regardless of what they’ve been through or how far they’ve come.

Arrogance breaks laws and hearts —crimes against others — but it also disconnects us from the deep waters of our own humanity, a crime against oneself. To see one’s flaws is humbling. To see someone who was so lost rediscover the path — to decency, to joy, to their own humanity — is a cause for rejoicing.

[City Lights]

22. Chris has always reminded me of a pathetic kid

in HS always longing to sit with the "popular kids" at lunch.

[LymphocyteLover]

23. Hunter Biden is AMAZING. Love what he's doing. His book is also great.

[relogic]

26. This man

gets my vote for the definition of redemption-not the evangelical type that overlooks only the evils of their own klan while crucifying the people not them.

I like those who are really captured by the fervor of speaking truth to power. You go, Hunter. You speak for me.

[dlk]

27. Well said

Cilllizza is the classic supercilious pundit endemic of the rot in Washington that is tearing apart our country.

Bravo to Hunter for speaking up on his own behalf and on the behalf of millions of Americans who are routinely marginalized and ignored by Cillizza and his ilk.

[joanbarnes]

29. MAN! Hunter Biden can bring it! I'm here for it. Carry on Hunter.

[Quiet Em]

30. Chris Cillizza deserved every word of that verbal trashing

I thought Chris got fired from CNN. Why is this guy even still around. Chris has always been nothing but a shit stirrer.

[SpankMe]

31. Why the fuck would Cillizza say something like that?

It's an utterly pointless statement. People can go online and say anything they want. One doesn't have to be asked for their opinions before they proffer them.

"Who asked for this? Who wants it?" What an asshole. I'd like Cillizza to answer the question of who asked for his opinions.

[Skittles]

38. because it really, REALLY chaps their hide

Hunter has been a political football punted around by rightwing assholes for years - they expected him to hide in the shadow in shame - instead, he did the right thing - bided his time, wrote a book and then when MAGAt world started its inevitable derailment, he POUNCED......not only is it excellent timing, he's GREAT at what he is doing. LOVE IT.

[Faux pas]

33. Funny I'd totally forgotten chris cillizza...

why is he crawling out from under his rock now? I'll forget him again, right after I hit post.

[BaronChocula]

35. Same here n/t

[Beartracks]

34. Cizilla: "I don't want it, therefore no one wants it."

Trump: "I didn't know Puerto Rico was an island, therefore no one knew Puerto Rico was an island."

It's a pattern among Republicans.

==============

[BaronChocula]

36. Why does he even care?

Maybe it's because Cillizza's been demoted to blogger and needs to rustle up some attention by creating drama by cynically misrepresenting the motivations of someone who has done a lot of work on redeeming themselves after being dragged in the media for the damage he's done mostly to himself. No one in any future election cycle is going to figure Hunter Biden into their vote. What people are concerned about are things Cillizza isn't talking about in this bitchy little clip. But Chris probably has no new take on any of that so he throws Hunter in the mix to try to stand out. Just strange.

[Skittles]

37. PREACH IT, BROTHER HUNTER

[AZLD4Candidate]

40. Dear Chris: Fuck off. Sincerely, the Democratic Party

[11 Bravo]

41. I'll always have a soft spot for Jandsome Joe, but ...

Hunter is well on the way to becoming my favorite Biden.
