President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, was convicted on three felony gun charges today, making him the first child of a President of the United States to be convicted of a felony.
Biden’s defense team said they intend to pursue all legal remedies, including appealing the conviction. Biden also faces another trial in September for alleged federal tax crimes.
Donald Trump, who was convicted on 34 felony counts last month, had his campaign put out a statement saying,
“This trail has been nothing more than a distraction from the real crimes of the Biden Crime Family, which has raked in tens of millions of dollars from China, Russia and Ukraine. Crooked Joe Biden’s reign over the Biden Crime Criminal Empire is all coming to an end on November 5th, and never again will a Biden sell government access for personal profit.”

Below are some Republican reactions (see Democrat reactions here) to the verdict.
Congressman Thomas Massie (R-KY):
“Hunter might deserve to be in jail for something, but purchasing a gun is not it.
There are millions of marijuana users who own guns in this country, and none of them should be in jail for purchasing or possessing a firearm against current laws.”

Congressman Matt Gaetz (R-FL):

Congressman Darrell Issa (R-CA):
“This is only the beginning of accountability for the Biden culture of corruption.”

Turning Point USA Founder Charlie Kirk:
“Hunter Biden guilty.
Yawn.
The true crimes of the Biden Crime Family remain untouched.
This is a fake trial trying to make the Justice system appear “balanced.”
Don’t fall for it.”

Congressman Byron Donalds (R-FL):
“The evidence was overwhelming. Hunter was on drugs & lied on a federal form.
The Bidens have been involved in crimes & highly-unethical behavior for YEARS.
On 11/5, the American people are going to send Joe packing so the Bidens can NEVER take advantage of our government again.”

One reply on “Republicans React to Hunter Biden Trial and Conviction”
I agree with Charlie Kirk. I’m not falling for this fake trial. I’m waiting for the trial where Hunter and his family, including The Big Guy, Joe Biden, are tried for treason and they’re all convicted and sent to prison for many years.
