Chuck Todd, the former host of “Meet the Press,” has recently tossed some serious shade on President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden, but not in the way one might expect. Instead of worrying about the 2024 election, Todd decided to dig into the Biden family drama from 2020, particularly the time when Hunter Biden was allegedly dragging his family through the mud while burdened with personal grief.
In a recent Zoom session with ex-CNN figure Chris Cillizza, Todd ventured into the tumultuous waters of the Biden family’s issues, especially the inconvenient timing of Joe Biden’s presidential campaign while the family was unraveling at the seams. He brought attention to Joe’s controversial pardon of Hunter for a litany of allegations, which isn’t exactly a shining moment in the “family values” playbook, especially when families are dealing with addiction and loss. While many in the media may have painted a rosy picture of the Bidens’ familial ties, Todd has brought the sobering truth into the light.
The crux of Todd’s critique points to how Joe and Jill Biden chose to push forward with a presidential run while their family was facing significant turmoil, particularly after the tragic death of Beau Biden. This is the same Joe Biden who often presents himself as the empathetic figure for American families. Apparently, that empathy didn’t extend to his own. Todd recounted the mess created within the family, implicating Hunter in a sordid tale of addiction that allegedly left Hallie Biden, Beau’s widow, in a worse state than one would wish on their worst enemy.

The irony here is rich. Just months ago, the narrative was that Joe Biden was the reincarnation of self-sacrifice and nobility in American leadership. But now, Todd’s comments indicate a notable shift, revealing discontent among those who once sang Biden’s praises. By labeling their decision to run for president as “selfish,” Todd doesn’t just poke at Biden’s judgment; he essentially argues that Joe’s bids for power jeopardized the wellbeing of his family and even the broader nation.
This isn’t merely a critique of one politician’s choices—it signifies that even within the ranks of the left, there might be inkling doubts about Biden’s ability to lead effectively. As Todd pointed out, the discord present in America today could stem from Biden prioritizing his political aspirations over the pressing needs of his own family. It seems that the left, once fervently supportive of Biden’s candidacy and presidency, is slowly starting to distance themselves from the baggage that has come to define his time in office.
