Former Vice President Joe Biden seemed to get short-tempered with NBC’s Savannah Guthrie when asked about his son Hunter Biden’s dealings with Ukraine.
When Guthrie caught up with Biden on Monday, she noted the “irony” that more people know about Hunter’s work with the Burisma gas company now, thanks to President Donald Trump’s Ukraine scandal and his subsequent impeachment. This led to Biden saying that “no one has found anything wrong with [Hunter’s] dealings with Ukraine, except it sets a bad image.”
“Well, do you agree that it sets a bad image?” Guthrie asked. “Do you think it was wrong for him to take that position knowing it was really because the company wanted access to you.”
“That’s not true,” Biden snapped. “You’re saying things you don’t know what you’re talking about! No one’s said that! Who said that?!”
Guthrie remained focused on the “sleazy” optics of Hunter’s job, though his father continued to defend him by saying “he’s a very bright guy.”
“Was it right?” Guthrie asked.
“He says he regretted having done it,” Biden said. “[He] speaks for himself. He’s a grown man.”

hes a grown man that got his job because of his daddy and doesn’t pay his child support.
Fake news…..Picture on top is misleading- had nothing to do with the interview. In no way did he snap back…as much as I dislike Biden……..
A man with a temper is not fit to lead. See Rashi to Shmuel I 16:7.
Could it really be that being quick tempered and insulting is not a presidential quality?
WOW. I never would have bet on that.
What does that say about Trump?
YW – Is there a problem with the previous comment? Is Rashi just not politically correct?
The Hunter Biden relationship with a Ukraine company does not pass the smell test. But after 3 years of a Republican-controlled US Department of Justice, all we get is smears, not indictments.
I personally believe that the reason Hunter Biden has not been prosecuted in the US is because his connection to a Ukraine company follows a “business model” that is used by US politicians of both parties, i.e., get your unqualified kid on a whopping big payroll for a company that needs favors from or good relations with the US governments.
I don’t have a solution, but I see a serious problem that nicely crosses party lines.
