The New York Times columnist David Brooks has fessed up. He now, after all this time, gets what Hunter Biden is and has been doing.
Peddling influence.
Well no kidding.
In a stellar example of just how clueless the liberal mind can be, Breitbart reports this from Brooks: https://www.breitbart.com/
“On Friday’s “PBS NewsHour,” New York Times columnist David Brooks stated that Hunter Biden “was clearly trying to peddle influence” but he doesn’t think he succeeded in doing so, but acknowledged, “I have sort of underestimated the Hunter Biden story. I think it’s probably worth a look to see if there was actual influence peddling.”
Brooks said, “Well, it’s certainly a liability. It sort of feeds into the narrative that he’s part of the Washington establishment, everybody’s self-dealing. So, that’s a liability. The gun charge, he was a sick man, frankly, who had some drug issues. And the gun charge, to me, is an ancillary issue. To me, I want to know — he was clearly trying to peddle influence. Did he successfully peddle influence? Was any law changed? Did Joe Biden’s policies change? Did Joe Biden sit in on any of those meetings? I kind of doubt it on all counts. But I do think now I have sort of underestimated the Hunter Biden story. I think it’s probably worth a look to see if there was actual influence peddling. But, for the Republicans to talk about impeachment, you’ve got to have a crime. Like, you’ve got to have some accusation you can make. And they don’t really have anything right now. It’s worth looking into, but they’re way premature in talking about impeachment.”
Catch that line?
“But I do think now I have sort of underestimated the Hunter Biden story.”
No kidding? Really? The son of the Vice President of the United States is selling his Dad’s “brand” to scoop up big bucks from, among others, China – and Brooks didn’t get it?
Apparently he forgot that Joe Biden stood on the presidential debate stage with Donald Trump in 2020 and specifically denied his son made money from China. Now, just days ago, Hunter stands in front of a judge and tells the Court that, well, yes, in fact, he was making big money off of China. A fact which means that Joe Biden looked the American people in the TV eye and…lied.
Presumably its moments like that that now have the New York Times columnist getting the real deal here.
