Hunter Biden accuses Barack Obama of embarrassing his father 2024 fundraising event
This past July saw Hunter Biden lash out at other Democrats during an interview with Andrew Gallagher over their alleged treatment of his father.
A new book indicates that the younger Biden has since leveled similar allegations against former President Barack Obama.
Complaints follow LA fundraiser
According to Fox News, Hunter's comments were made to ABC News reporter Jonathan Karl while the latter was conducting research for his new book, Retribution: Donald Trump and the Campaign That Changed America.
Specifically, Hunter took issue with how Obama behaved while appearing on stage with his father at a Los Angeles fundraiser last year.

A viral video clip of the incident showed Obama putting an arm around his former vice president and then appearing to lead him away as the fundraiser concluded.
Fox News noted that the incident was seen as contributing to the perception that then-President Biden was too old and infirm to run for reelection.
Hunter details fury
"I almost jumped up on the stage and said, 'Don't ever f--king do that to the president of the United States again -- ever,'" Karl quoted Hunter as saying.
Axios published an additional quote of Hunter stating that he knew the image "was going to be a meme" before adding, "That really, really, really, really p---ed me off."
Meanwhile, the Washington Post reported earlier this year that Hunter expressed the view that his father could have beaten President Donald Trump if only others in his own party had allowed him to run.
Hunter made the assertion on an episode of former Democratic National Committee (DNC) chairman Jaime Harrison's podcast At Our Table.
Former first son alleges Democratic Party disloyalty
"You know what, we are going to fight amongst ourselves for the next three years until there’s a nominee. And then with the nominee, we better as hell get behind that nominee," Hunter stated.
He continued, "And I will tell you why we lost the last election. We lost the election because we did not remain loyal to the leader of the party. That's my position."
"We had the advantage of incumbency. We had the advantage of an incredibly successful administration, and the Democratic Party literally melted down," the former president's son maintained.
