It's hard to know how to handle it when the Baseless Republican Attacks Machine goes into gear. Do you fight back, and risk giving credence to any of the lies? Or do you refuse to dignify it with a response, in the hope that it'll just sputter away?
Today, Hunter Biden decided to fight, and it was glorious to see. Because when you don't respond, too often the lies don't sputter — they fester instead. (Ask John Kerry, who disastrously shied away in 2004 from answering the perfidious accusations of the Swift Boaters.)
Hunter recognized all this in his statement, and upped the ante with his willingness to testify publicly, not behind closed doors as MAGA Republicans have insisted. "Republicans do not want an open process where Americans can see their tactics...or hear what I have to say," Hunter declared. From his poise and eloquence today, families across the country — many, many of whom have dealt with addiction and hardship themselves — can understand why.
And at heart, the Trumpsters know Hunter is right. They're trying to do something, anything, to project corruption onto the Bidens and steer people's attention from Donald Trump's own. "There is no fairness or decency in what these Republicans are doing," Hunter said. "They have taken the light of my dad's love for me, and presented it as darkness." Brilliant. Every word, every syllable.
The other thing? As Twitter has noticed, it doesn't hurt that Hunter is good-lookin'. We cats PURR.
