Rightwing politicians repeat unfounded theories that gun trial verdict is a ‘distraction’ from worse Biden crimes
Republicans responded to Hunter Biden’s conviction on Tuesday of lying about his drug use to buy a gun by doubling down on conspiracy theories that many senior party figures have been using to try and damage his president father.
Despite the fact that Joe Biden’s son could now face a hefty jail sentence, Donald Trump’s election campaign and its surrogates repeated unfounded attack lines that the conviction was part of a conspiracy to deflect attention from more serious crimes and represented the use of the Department of Justice (DoJ) as a political weapon.
Republicans have long sought to use Hunter Biden’s woes and business dealings as a political weapon against Biden, ignoring the fact that Trump himself is also now a convicted felon whose own business empire has been fined hundreds of millions of dollars for fraudulent practises.
That tactic continued in the wake of Hunter’s guilty verdict.
Gotta say, for a guy they keep presenting as a senile, barely-functional bumbling idiot, orchestrating a trial to throw your own son in jail just to generate a distraction is kinda badass.
Some real “getting captured was my plan all along” energy right there.
The enemy is both weak and strong

They cannot celebrate his conviction because that would undermine their assertion that the trump trial was rigged.
In a twisted way, their reaction makes sense, and for me, was predictable. The cult must be constantly managed for it to remain intact.
So the prosecution of Trump is a political move, meant to create negative attention on Trump. And the prosecution of Hunter Biden is a political move, meant to draw attention away from Trump.
Ok.
I’m just waiting for them to accuse Biden of weaponizing the justice system against his own son.
I mean, they kinda just did…
Hunter was dragging down the whole crime family with his incompetence! He had to be dealt with!
Yes yes everything that doesn’t go your way is unfair and fake.
But it did go their way, they’re just pissed because the timing of when it went their way totally undermines their talking points about Trump and his trial.
Yeah sorry I should have been more clear that’s what I meant, but it didn’t go exactly the way they imagined in their head
Are you saying your initial comment didn’t go your way? That sounds like a false flag operation! The enemy is inside your brain!
Except the Hunter Biden trial did go their way and they’re still saying that.
This is why what Republicans might say should never factor into what rational people do.
No matter what happens, they’re gonna make up some bullshit to fearmonger.
They call Biden a communist extremist that will make college free, tax the rich, and give us free healthcare…
So like, why not just run someone that actually wants all that stuff for Americans?
Even if Dems don’t fight for, republicans will say we are.
Republicans, the party of being a fucking pussy ass bitch
If they weren’t consistently stupid, the MAGAt’s would really have nothing to bind them.
