U.S. Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) says that Republicans are "really wrong" about Hunter Biden. 

Vance, former President Donald Trump's running mate in the 2024 election, made the remark during a recent appearance on Joe Rogan's popular podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience. 

The question is whether Vance was serious or not with his remarks about Hunter Biden.

We'll leave that for you to decide.

Here is what Vance said:

During the roughly three hour appearance on the podcast, Rogan and Vance covered a number of issues, and, at one point, Hunter Biden did come up.

Mediaite reports:

While discussing his love for John Singleton’s Boyz n the Hood, Vance turned his attention to Republicans and argued that attacks on President Joe Biden’s son over his drug use and legal troubles have not landed with the public. Vance called his Hunter Biden defense an “act of bipartisanship.”

That is one interpretation of what Vance had to so, which was this: "The one thing that Republicans, man, that I think we got really wrong in the last few years is the anti-Hunter Biden stuff. I want to go hang out with Hunter Biden!"

Vance continued:

I mean, I may the only Republican. That dude, that dude, knows how to have a good time. He’s like Hunter S. Thompson without the writing talent. That guy went hard. You got to give it to him. I would bet $100 that Hunter Biden is voting for Donald Trump for president.

What do think? Was Vance just joking in such a way as to highlight Hunter's questionable past? Or, was Vance serious?

The big question

As we approach the end of the Biden administration, the big question is whether President Joe Biden is going to pardon his son, Hunter, of his crimes.

The White House has repeatedly said that this will not happen, but many are skeptical.

The Daily Mail reports:

Bob Woodward predicted President Joe Biden will pardon his son Hunter despite the White House repeatedly saying that will not be the case. But questions remain of what the future holds for the former drug addict first son, who is facing jail when he is sentenced for gun and tax fraud claims next month.

If Biden does not pardon his son, there have been reports that have suggested that Trump, were he to be elected, might consider pardoning Hunter Biden.

The accuracy of these reports is unclear. Trump, at the time of this writing, has not ruled it out.
