Jake Tapperโs contention about Hunter Bidenโs role in the White House found the former first son responding as he also opined on where Democrats went wrong in the 2024 election.
Since getting trounced by swing-state sweeping President Donald Trump in November, the Democratic Party, which ousted then-President Joe Biden in favor of then-Vice President Kamala Harris as their ticket topper, has openly embarked on an outreach mission as approval ratings have plummeted.
Now, former Democratic National Committee Chair Jamie Harrison has launched a podcast providing the younger Biden a platform to question the veracity of Tapperโs portrayal of media coverage of his fatherโs failing mental acuity, in particular any role he may have had in the administration.
In a preview of the โAt Our Tableโ podcast, reported by The Hill, Hunter specifically challenged the CNN hostโs notion that he acted as chief of staff during his fatherโs White House residency.
โYou think Jake Tapperโs telling the truth when he says that I was the acting chief of staff of the president? I was in the White House 12 days over the course of the last two years of the administration,โ he told Harrison before adding a reminder about the numerous court cases heโd been facing. โClearly, because I had other things going on, okay?โ
During an interview with Katie Couric in May alongside โOriginal Sin,โ co-author Alex Thompson of Axios, Tapper said, โI think Hunter was driving the decision-making for the family in a way that people โ he was almost like a chief of staff.โ
โItโs bizarre because I think he is provably, demonstrably, unethical, sleazy, and prone to horrible decisions,โ the CNN host contended before making note that Hunter had cheated on his own wife with his brotherโs widow, โand then got her addicted to crack.โ
Still, the former first son, who received a blanket pardon from his father spanning over a decade, insisted, โYou ask one person to go on the record that would ever tell you that I was in any way making a single decision about anything, anything in the White House. I stayed as far away as I possibly could. Which, by the way, broke my heart.โ
Meanwhile, he foisted the blame for the loss in November on Democratic Party disloyalty, telling Harrison, โYou know what, we are going to fight amongst ourselves for the next three years until thereโs a nominee. And then with the nominee, we better as hell get behind that nominee.โ
โAnd I will tell you why we lost the last election. We lost the election because we did not remain loyal to the leader of the party. Thatโs my position,โ Biden said. โWe had the advantage of incumbency. We had the advantage of an incredibly successful administration, and the Democratic Party literally melted down.โ
Having named South Carolina Rep. Jim Clyburn (D), Maryland Gov. Wes Moore (D) and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) as some of his initial guests on the podcast,ย Harrison expressed to NBC News his reason for interviewing Biden, โWhen I look at Hunter and the conversations Iโve had with him over the last four years, this guy is really bright, heโs smart, heโs very passionate about the things about service and helping people.โ
โBut you know, I only got a chance to see it because of my interactions with him. When you ask most people, they have no clue. All they know is what [Georgia Rep.] Marjorie Taylor Greene (R) would say about Hunter or what either his political allies or his political opponents would say,โ continued the former DNC chair. โHeโs been made into probably one of the biggest caricatures in politics today. And I thought itโd be interesting for folks to get a real understanding of who Hunter Biden is, or what makes him tick.โ
