Hunter Biden has found the internet again, and the timing doesn’t look accidental. The surviving son of President Joe Biden returned to X in late May after years of near silence on an account created in 2013.
In days, Hunter fired off hundreds of posts, answered critics, defended his dad, joked about his drug past, and built an odd online revival out of addiction candor and political combat. From the New York Post:
Hunter Biden is marking his seventh year of sobriety with a social media blitz that’s taking the internet by storm.
Hunter, 56, began posting on his X account last month after years of dormancy, a move so surprising some wondered if the messages were fake.
The account proved both genuine and a hit, quickly amassing nearly half a million followers, most of whom have cheered Hunter’s purported honesty and dry sense of humor.
After Hunter posted a message celebrating being seven years sober Monday, one user accused him of being the owner of a bag of cocaine left in the West Wing during the summer of 2023.
“It most definitely was not. I would never have forgotten my drugs,” Hunter shot back.
The clapback got more than 242,000 likes.
The burst comes as the Biden family name faces another round of damage. “CALL ME DOCTOR” Jill Biden has a new memoir out, and Joe’s age, decline, and 2024 debacle remain part of the national conversation. Hunter stepped into the noise with the same scandals trailing behind him, but with a new tone; he’s trying to turn the evidence locker into a comedy set and the family defense into a personal comeback tour.
