Twitter has been having a field day over the latest news scrum surrounding President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden.
There’s “sufficient evidence” to charge President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden<, with tax crimes and making a false statement surrounding a gun purchase, reported The Washington Post on Thursday, citing “people familiar with the case.”
The decision about whether to file charges will be made by David Weiss, the Trump-appointed U.S. Attorney in Delaware.
Reactions included plenty of mocking of the Biden Justice Dept and those who falsely called the New York Post‘s Hunter Biden laptop story “Russian disinformation.”

But they haven’t. Tells you something about how @JoeBiden has politicized the DoJ, doesn’t it? https://t.co/QO3MBgE8NQ

There were some calling for Hunter Biden to be charged.
And he should be held accountable if he’s done things that are against the law. It’s simple. https://t.co/3hTnrKfhQL

Here’s the thing — if there is a legit case against him for crimes, absolutely prosecute him. This isn’t rocket science. I have no problem with someone facing consequences, regardless of their political affiliations.
See how easy that is, GOP? https://t.co/NDXAkklpk9

Federal *agents* aren’t the same as the federal *prosecutors* who would actually make this decision. But if they can prove Hunter Biden committed crimes then yes, they should charge him. That’s how rule of law works. https://t.co/WEJhJjMtR9

Hunter Biden should be in a prison cell.

Hunter Biden’s crackhead ass is going to jail and Republicans better see to it!!

There were those who blasted the potential move to charge the younger Biden ahead of the midterms.
The allegedly anti-Trump and anti-MAGA “Deep State” that produced a letter about Hillary Clinton’s emails days before an election now leaks info about an investigation into a president’s son weeks before the midterms… https://t.co/FG8GRjKLLK

You have GOT to be kidding me.
Right before the mid-term election??? WTF! https://t.co/iIfCbzJRMX

And there were other defenses of Hunter Biden.
Kind reminder: Hunter Biden is not the President. https://t.co/F9J9sVur9I

I’m not sure Republicans understand that Hunter Biden is a grown man who holds no government position

This really going to hurt Hunter Biden’s chances of getting elected as President of Delaware. https://t.co/UmYvs4lK8U

I wonder if the source for “feds see chargeable crimes for Hunter Biden” is the same source as “feds won’t recommend charges for Gaetz”. It’s the same reporter. Probably the same BS source. I would ignore it.

So is Hunter Biden still running for president?
— Randi Mayem Singer (@rmayemsinger) October 6, 2022
Friendly reminder that Hunter Biden has not been indicted with any crimes but three of Donald Trump’s kids have.
