Hunter Biden has been a main character in far-right conspiracy theories for years, and Donald Trump’s associates spent a lot of effort in search of proof that could lead to his prosecution. 

In the end, Hunter allegedly provided the only proof that has mattered: a laptop full of terribly embarrassing and potentially incriminating material. 

The truth of how that laptop found its way to Trump’s favourite lawyer Rudy Giuliani is almost too bizarre to believe. 

But the Biden family story has been improbably tragic for decades, and it was those tragedies that have seemingly steered the outgoing president to pardon his son despite the very real cost to his own reputation, and the country.

AOC runs cover for ‘Hunter Biden’s half-fake laptop story’ in shameless hearing rant

February 9, 2023 | Vivek Saxena

A House Judiciary Committee hearing into Twitter’s censorship of the New York Post’s reporting on Hunter Biden’s laptop went off the rails Wednesday thanks to Democrat shenanigans.

Take the Democrat shenanigans of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who came to the hearing equipped with her usual shameless distortions of the truth.

Instead of accepting the now-confirmed fact that Hunter Biden’s laptop is real and that coverage of it was censored by Twitter, she used the hearing to weave a fraudulent narrative about how the whole story is somehow “half-fake.”

Indeed, to hear the congresswoman tell it, the story was practically manufactured out of thin air as part of some “right-wing political operation.”

“So they’ve dragged a social media platform here in Congress. They’re weaponizing the use of this committee so that they can do it again. A whole hearing, about a 24-hour hiccup in a right-wing political operation. That is why we are here right now. And it is — it’s just an abuse of public resources and abuse of public time,” she said.

“We could be talking about health care, we could be talking about bringing down the cost of prescription drugs, we could be talking about abortion rights, civil rights, voting rights, but instead we’re talking about Hunter Biden’s half-fake laptop story. I mean, this is an embarrassment,” she added.
