Members phkrause Posted June 13 Members Share Posted June 13 That was the most common reaction among Democrats after Hunter Biden was found guilty of federal gun charges today, Axios' Andrew Solender writes. 🥊 Many echoed Rep. Becca Balint (D-Vt.), who said the conviction of the president's son was a shot against Republicans who've called the justice system "rigged" while objecting to Trump's felony conviction. "I can't wait to see how Trump apologists and enablers spin this one," Balint told Axios. Republicans' responses were more scattered. Rep. Troy Nehls (R-Texas) said the verdict was "somewhat of a surprise" considering the trial was in Biden-friendly Delaware; some other Republicans called the verdict no big deal. ⚡️ The Trump campaign's salty comments opened the door for similar GOP messages that followed. First there was a statement, obtained by CNN, calling the verdict "a distraction from the real crimes" of the Biden family, which concluded by saying, "As for Hunter, we wish him well in his recovery and legal affairs." A second version of the statement left out the reference to Hunter. Hunter said in a statement he was disappointed and that his attorneys would appeal. President Biden said in his own statement: "I will accept the outcome of this case." "I am the president, but I am also a dad," Biden added. "Jill and I love our son, and we are so proud of the man he is today." Hunter was convicted on charges he illegally bought and possessed a firearm while using a narcotic. He faces up to 25 years in prison, Axios' Alex Thompson and Erin Doherty reported. Hunter, 54 is the first child of a sitting president to be convicted of a crime. He faces a separate trial on tax fraud charges that's set for September. Quote phkrause By the decree enforcing the institution of the papacy in violation of the law of God, our nation will disconnect herself fully from righteousness. When Protestantism shall stretch her hand across the gulf to grasp the hand of the Roman power, when she shall reach over the abyss to clasp hands with spiritualism, when, under the influence of this threefold union, our country shall repudiate every principle of its Constitution as a Protestant and republican government, and shall make provision for the propagation of papal falsehoods and delusions, then we may know that the time has come for the marvelous working of Satan and that the end is near. {5T 451.1} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
