The long-awaited Hunter Biden interview with podcaster Shawn Ryan dropped this week and it was a spectacle — more than five hours of the president’s son airing grievances and openly criticizing his father’s record in public. Hunter didn’t hold back, and the conversation has conservatives grinning at a rare moment of candor from inside the Washington family dynasty.
Most damning was Hunter’s blunt assessment of the 2021 Afghanistan withdrawal, which he called an “obvious” failure and tied directly to lives lost and leadership failures at the highest level. He acknowledged that the decision to leave may have been right in principle but excoriated the execution and admitted the buck stops with the commander-in-chief — a frank admission that the mainstream press will be tempted to downplay.
Hunter also broke from the party line on immigration, criticizing the border chaos that exploded under his father’s watch and warning that illegal migration drains American communities and resources. For years conservatives warned that open-border policies would produce exactly the national-security and humanitarian mess we now see, and Hunter’s comments validate what hardworking Americans have known all along.
If you needed more proof that the Biden family isn’t the insulated, sober operation Democrats pretend it is, Hunter admitted to crushing personal debts and threw some blame at the old Obama team for pushing him into foreign business dealings like Burisma. The financial entanglements and moral compromises that followed are exactly why Americans demanded transparency and accountability from the start.
Adding insult to injury, reporting this month revealed Hunter had been involved in pardon discussions and that President Biden ultimately granted clemency — a move that fueled outrage across the country about favoritism and the rule of law. The optics of a president pardoning his own son are abysmal, and Hunter’s public criticisms of his father while benefiting from that very clemency only deepen the appearance of elite immunity.
Conservatives should use this moment to press harder for real accountability, not to celebrate family drama. Hunter’s revelations are a gift: they expose policy failures, political hypocrisy, and a federal system too willing to protect the connected. Americans who work, pay taxes, and serve deserve leaders who answer for mistakes — not a political class that pardons its way out of consequences while lecturing the rest of the country.
