Battenfeld: Hunter Biden’s questionable new strategy is blame Trump and MAGA Republicans

MAGA Republicans didn’t procure strippers for Hunter Biden. They didn’t force him to evade his taxes. Or earn millions from sketchy foreign companies.

But that isn’t stopping the younger Biden from blaming Donald Trump and the GOP for his legal peril.

Good luck.

Let’s hope Hunter’s not getting the same legal advice the three college presidents got testifying before Republicans in Congress about antisemitism on their campuses.

They walked into the hearing thinking they could easily outsmart 39-year-old New York Rep. Elise Stefanik. But instead they were trapped by their own words and inexplicable refusal to denounce hate speech and violence against Jewish students.

Hunter Biden is now the latest Democrat to take on MAGA Republicans heading the president’s impeachment proceedings.

“I’m here, I’m ready,” the arrogant Hunter said outside the Capitol, daring Republicans to grill him in public. “MAGA Republicans ridiculed my struggle with addiction. They belittled my recovery and they have tried to dehumanize me, all to embarrass and damage my father who has devoted his entire life to service.”

It’s the first time we’ve heard the younger Biden aggressively defend himself, part of a coordinated plan with the White House to turn the tables on Republicans.

But it wasn’t a good look. And it’s a pretty thin strategy.

After claiming he was ready to face a congressional committee, he fled media questions just like his father.

He’s the Hunted, not the Hunter.

It’s so bad that Biden can’t be seen with his son, and is reportedly getting short-tempered.

Are Democrats secretly hoping Hunter takes the president down? Calling an airstrike on their own commander-in-chief?

That way they can move on with a stronger nominee against Trump.

It could happen if the Hunter Biden investigation goes any deeper. Republicans have some ammunition with the IRS whistle blowers raising serious questions about the then-vice president’s business activities. Hunter has become the lightning rod for impeachment.

Politico reported now that Hunter fears he’ll have to flee the country if Donald Trump is elected again.

And if Hunter has to flee the country, the question is will he take his father with him?
