Top House Republican Accidentally Slams the Trump Kids' Nepotism in Failed Attempt to Criticize Hunter Biden

Top House Republican Accidentally Slams the Trump Kids' Nepotism in Failed Attempt to Criticize Hunter Biden

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA)—a staunch ally of President Donald Trump—appeared on Fox News this past weekend to repeat Republican claims that former Vice President Joe Biden improperly used his office to benefit his son Hunter, who served on the board of a Ukrainian energy company from 2014 to 2019.

In accusing the Bidens of nepotism, however, McCarthy apparently forgot some crucial points.


Watch below.

McCarthy said:

"This should not be about politics. Any elected official that uses their office or has their children who uses their office to get economic gain...and you have no experience whatsoever, and the only reason you have that job is because of your father..."

The hypocrisy was astonishing.

The President's eldest daughter and son-in-law—Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner—currently serve as White House advisors.

It's hard to imagine a presidential administration other than Trump's that would have ever deemed them qualified to hold such positions. Since the appointment, Ivanka has since received multiple trademarks on her shoe and clothing lines from the Chinese government as it negotiates a trade deal with the United States.

The President's resorts and other properties—run by his sons Don Jr. and Eric—continue to profit from the Presidency, with over $20 million in political spending funneled into the properties.

People were speechless at McCarthy's words.







Improper use of power by Joe Biden to benefit his son's business is widely regarded as little more than a conspiracy theory. With Biden possibly winning the Democratic nomination to take on Trump in November, Republicans are unlikely to drop the matter any time soon.

'Young Sheldon' Star Explains Why She Asked For An Intimacy Coordinator On The Show—And It Makes Sense

Entertainment journalist and Glamour magazine Senior West Coast Editor Jessica Radloff's new book, Young Sheldon: The (Juicier-Than-Meemaw’s-Brisket) Inside Story of the Hit Comedy, shared a story about actor Emily Osment joining the show in its fifth season that's drawing praise for her consideration for her fellow child star, Montana Jordan.

Osment, who began acting at age five, is one of a rare breed in Hollywood—a child star turned successful adult actor. It's a journey many kids have infamously stumbled on, but that Jordan has also successfully navigated perhaps in part thanks to Osment.

Texas GOP's Bizarre Text Warning Voters About 'Weirdo Furry Socialists' Sparks Mockery

A Texas political action committee sparked online mockery after multiple people independently told the San Antonio Current they received a text message urging Texans to vote Republican to keep so-called "furry Socialists" from choosing their leaders.

The message was sent Saturday alongside a photo purportedly showing a man wearing a fox-tail accessory as he left a polling location in Collin County. The message identified its sender as Texans for Common Sense, a political action committee funded entirely by Texans United for a Conservative Majority PAC, a far-right organization backed by West Texas oil billionaire Tim Dunn.
