Unraveling the Biden Narrative
There have been quite a few misleading statements made by his wife and their aide, Joe Biden, making it tough to separate fact from fiction when evaluating his troubled presidency and assigning blame for various misdeeds.
Let’s focus on Hunter Biden for a moment.
An exclusive preview of the forthcoming book, *Original Sin* by Jake Tupper and Alex Thompson, reveals that the White House and Hunter had denied a so-called “laptop from hell,” which was left behind in early 2022. Meanwhile, Biden’s team was reportedly anxious about the potential political repercussions and had quietly coordinated with the Democratic National Committee to secure copies of Hunter’s hard drives.
The authors note, “The campaign had to be ready, and Biden himself needed to be prepared personally.”
For months, Biden’s aides scoured through Hunter’s troubling material, which included personal struggles and inappropriate content.
Eventually, they compiled defensive documents outlining the most damaging information that could be weaponized against Joe during his reelection efforts.
Preparation for Battle
As 2023 began, with Republicans gearing up to take control of the House and launch investigations into the Biden family’s dealings, Joe’s personal lawyer, Bob Bauer, remarked that spending an hour with the president and first lady to go over the unsavory details might oddly help the family navigate the political landscape more successfully.
Bauer, much like DNC Communications Director Rosemary Borglin, did not respond to requests for validation of these claims, leaving Tupper and Thompson’s assertions to stand alone.
Hunter, on the other hand, appeared eager for the confrontation. He said, “I was under the impression this could benefit him and his father. Finally, he would have the chance to respond after laying low.”
The authors note that Hunter has embraced the more scandalous aspects of his laptop revelations.
“He was happy and in a new relationship. That’s what really counts.”
Interestingly, Biden’s team was not pleased with Hunter’s 2021 memoir, *The Beautiful Things.*
From their perspective, spending time discussing Hunter’s exploits was not a good look for Joe. Hunter often felt that he had a better political insight than many of his father’s advisors, creating a sort of tension between them.
However, when Hunter was scheduled for a book tour in South Carolina to discuss his addiction at a well-known Black church, his team intervened.
According to Biden’s advisors, that would likely devolve into a spectacle and come off as insensitive. Hunter conceded to their concerns.
One profound takeaway from *Original Sin* is the notion that Joe Biden has embarked on a surreal journey of shared falsehoods, involving not only his family but also those closest to him, even reaching into the Democratic party.
An associate close to the Bidens shared with the authors, “Their greatest asset is living in a reality of their own making. Biden has a knack for creating this. Beau isn’t going to die. Hunter’s substance issues are stable. Biden is always truthful. He prioritizes family over personal ambitions. They stick to their narrative and repeat it.”
Tupper and Thompson characterize these shared delusions as akin to a kind of religion—an almost theological belief in Biden’s ability to bounce back, supported by tales that might lack accuracy.
“The president liked to invoke his family’s motto, ‘My words as Biden,’ but there was a more private adage: ‘Don’t call fat people fat.’ It all implied an evasion of grim realities.
“Between 2020 and 2024, there was a mental refusal to acknowledge that Biden was on a downward trajectory.”
Reassessing the Situation
The skewed reality created by Joe suggests he has often been a pathological liar, effectively playing the empathy card to navigate situations that could have derailed anyone else’s career.
The “original sin” referenced in Tupper and Thompson’s title is, in fact, Biden’s decision to run for reelection in 2024.
This controversial move potentially opens the door for Democrats to deflect accountability for what many perceive as a disastrous electoral loss looming in 2024.
However, news of Biden’s prostate cancer diagnosis, shared just as the book comes out, offers a convenient shield against criticism. It feels like an ultimate sympathy play.
