on Wednesday, Biden wrote about how his issues with substance misuse have affected his family, and tore into conservatives for using his behavior to smear the president.Hunter acknowledged the impact of his own “struggles and mistakes,” but argued that his actions have become “fodder for a vile and sustained disinformation campaign” that alienates families facing similar challenges across America.
“The weaponization of my addiction by partisan and craven factions represents a real threat to those desperate to get sober but are afraid of what may await them if they do,” Biden wrote. Biden then turned to the personal attacks against him and his family, telling right-wing figures like former Donald Trump adviser Steve Bannon and former Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani that his addiction does not justify their efforts “to debase and dehumanize me for their own gains.”
