One of Hunter Biden's "art" buyers is identified. Shockingly, she's a Biden donor

Another clue has come to light in the ongoing mystery of how Hunter Biden continues to almost magically make money appear out of thin air, despite lacking any capabilities to offer to anyone. You probably recall when the First Son suddenly declared himself to be “an artist” a couple of years ago, launching art shows at prestigious galleries in New York and Los Angeles where his paintings were snapped up to the tune of more than a million dollars. Up until now, the identity of the “collectors” who served as his benefactors had remained a mystery, but this week Business Insider identified one of them. She’s a Hollywood real estate mogul named Elizabeth Hirsh Naftali who has deep ties to the Democratic Party and has donated to Joe Biden’s campaigns in the past. I know you’re shocked, just as I was. And by some amazing coincidence, Hirsh Naftali also received a prestigious appointment from Joe Biden last year. The identity of Hunter’s most frequent artwork purchaser remains a mystery, but we have a fairly good idea who it might be. (NY Post)

First son Hunter Biden’s novice artwork has raked in at least $1.3 million — with buyers including a Democratic donor “friend’’ who his dad named to a prestigious commission, a report said Monday.

Elizabeth Hirsh Naftali, a Los Angeles real-estate investor and philanthropist, bought one of Hunter’s works, according to Business Insider.

It wasn’t clear when the sale occurred or how much Naftali paid for the piece.

So who is Elizabeth Hirsh Naftali? As noted above, she is a wealthy real estate developer in Hollywood. She’s also “old money,” since her father was in the same business before her after initially making his money in the fashion industry. She’s the author of a graphic novel titled 60 Seconds of Light, now available for the bargain-basement price of $2.60 from Amazon. She’s also more than just a donor to the Bidens. In October of last year, during the final days of the midterm elections, she hosted a high-dollar fundraiser in her Brentwood home featuring Kamala Harris as the headliner. She was also linked to a second fundraiser that same week starring Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi, with tickets selling for $5,000 to $50,000 each.

Hirsh Naftali was appointed to the Commission for the Preservation of America’s Heritage Abroad by Joe Biden in July of 2022. It’s unclear exactly when she purchased Hunter’s painting, but the appointment was made roughly eight months after he began displaying and selling his “art.” Of course, this might all be a coincidence, but it still amazes me how many “coincidences” turn up surrounding Hunter and how they all seem to play out in his favor.

The bulk of Hunter’s paintings that have been reportedly sold (eleven of them for a total of nearly $900,000) all went to a single buyer who has yet to be identified. But it’s suspected that it might be Kevin Morris, Hunter’s massively wealthy friend who “loaned” him two million dollars to pay off his delinquent taxes and allows him to use his private jet and occasionally stay in his California home. It certainly wouldn’t be surprising if he were using the art gallery shows as another way to flush cash into the Bidens’ coffers.

Keep in mind that this is the same Hunter Biden who flew in that private Jet to Arkansas so he could cry poverty and convince a judge to slash his child support payments to the mother of a daughter he refuses to acknowledge. But he did reportedly agree to let the child have a few of his paintings. Let’s see if any “mystery buyers” show up with offers for those. Color me skeptical.

These people are simply the biggest bunch of grifters imaginable. And they continue their antics right out in the open, secure in the knowledge that they won’t be called out on it by the legacy media or ever held to account. But if James Comer and his GOP colleagues in the House continue pressing their investigations, perhaps that situation will finally change.
