In the interview, Biden declared “My son has done nothing wrong. I trust him. I have faith in him, and it impacts my presidency by making me feel proud of him.”

As with media over the last four years, MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle did not challenge the clearly absurd statement. Instead, she prefaced her question by stressing that there are “no ties to you” in any of his son’s alleged crimes. That is of course ignoring the mounting evidence of influence peddling, repeated references to the involvement of the president, and reports of a whistleblower alleging the President’s involvement in a bribery scheme.

However, it was Ruhle’s shrug to Biden’s claim that was the most glaring part of the low-risk interview. There is, of course, much that Hunter did “wrong.” Let’s just rattle off a few notable examples.

[Hunter has done lots of things wrong, especially in his personal life, unless hookers and blow don’t count any longer. He’s abandoned his child in Arkansas — and so has Joe himself, who refuses to acknowledge her as his grandchild — which Ruhle conveniently doesn’t mention even though the case is in the headlines. Turley covers the legal issues facing Hunter as well. It’s nothing but stenographers at NBC News, apparently. –Ed]
