Hunter Biden not doing crack is a “fight for the future of democracy,” the president’s son told Axios Monday in reference to former President Donald Trump’s bid for reelection.
Hunter’s attempt to somehow tie the fate of the nation to his legal imperative to abstain from drug use fits his long-running narrative of victimhood.
Hunter pleaded not guilty to gun charges in October and underwent random drug testing. Judge Christopher Burke released him on several conditions, including that he not use alcohol or ingest controlled substances.
“I have something much bigger than even myself at stake,” Hunter said about his legal battles. “We are in the middle of a fight for the future of democracy.”
“Most importantly, you have to believe that you’re worth the work, or you’ll never be able to get sober. But I often do think of the profound consequences of failure here,” Hunter said.
“I don’t care whether you’re ten years sober, two years sober, two months sober or two hundred years sober — your brain at some level is always telling you there’s still one answer,” he said about his history of addictions and parmesan cheese.
Hunter is set to testify before the House impeachment inquiry on Wednesday. It is unknown if he will actually appear for the interview. Hunter failed to show last time he said he would appear.
