President Joe Biden reacted to Hunter Biden being found guilty on all three federal gun charges by saying that he was ‘proud’ of his son for surviving drug addiction.
The president sent out a statement through the White House counsel’s office shortly after the Delaware-based jury delivered a verdict.
The first son was found guilty on two counts of having completed a form falsely – lying about his sobriety – when he bought a Colt Cobra revolver in October 2018, while the third count established that he possessed a firearm while using narcotics.
‘As I said last week, I am the President, but I am also a Dad,’ the president reiterated. ‘Jill and I love our son, and we are so proud of the man he is today.’
‘So many families who have had loved ones battle addiction understand the feeling of pride seeing someone you love come out the other side and be so strong and resilient in recovery,’ Biden continued.
‘As I also said last week, I will accept the outcome of this case and will continue to respect the judicial process as Hunter considers an appeal,’ the president added.
Biden remained in Washington, D.C. while the jury deliberated Tuesday.
But following the verdict, the president’s public schedule quickly shifted with him now rushing from an event in D.C. – ironically where he was speaking about gun safety – to Wilmington, Delaware to be with his son.
Other Biden family members gathered at the courthouse in Wilmington throughout the week-long hearing. The verdict came down so quickly, however, that first lady Jill Biden wasn’t in the courtroom when it was announced.
‘Jill and I will always be there for Hunter and the rest of our family with our love and support. Nothing will ever change that,’ the president also said in his statement.
The president is slated to deliver remarks this afternoon to victims and survivors of gun violence at Everytown’s Gun Sense University, taking place at the Washington Hilton.
Biden will ‘highlight the progress to keep guns out of dangerous hands’ the White House said Monday.
He is set to announce that the Department of Justice has charged more than 500 defendants for violating new gun trafficking laws created by the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, the piece of legislation Biden ushered through Congress and signed into law in June 2022.
Biden returned from France’s D-Day celebrations Sunday, but will return to Europe – to Italy for the G7 – on Wednesday.
Hey Joe Biden Go to Hell you damned TRAITOR !
Sure Biden is proud of his worthless fucking son because Biden is a fuck up too He has been hidden and has done nothing for our country in 50 plus years Biden has used the the system to get around legal things So the Biden crime family needs to go down just like the bosses of the 5 families There is nothing to differentiate Biden from these other crime families Biden committed treason and everyone knows he did He is still trying to help the CCP over our own citizens This entire family is a crime family and should be treated as such
I don’t believe he is sober. Random drug testing please since he is now a felon.
Of course he’s proud of him. Democrats have a lot of pride in things normal people find disgusting, such as the filth of homosexuality, abortion, atheism, illegal immigration, terrorism, political corruption, and plain old criminal character.
