Hunter ‘Almost Jumped On Stage’ After Obama ‘Disrespected’ President Biden

Emotions running high…

Hunter Biden revealed was “furious” with former President Barack Obama for leading then-President Joe Biden offstage with a guiding hand at a June 2024 fundraiser, according to a new book from ABC News’ host Jonathan Karl.

An excerpt from the book, obtained by Axios, details how Biden’s son claimed Obama had disrespected and embarrassed the President in a moment he “knew” would become a viral mockery.

“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,'” Hunter told Karl in an interview.

“The younger Biden insisted his dad was simply taking some time to acknowledge the crowd. ‘I knew that that was going to be a meme,’ Hunter recalled. ‘That really, really, really, really pissed me off,'” the book reads.

The incident was one of many that contributed to criticism that Biden was too old to hold office, let alone serve another presidential term, an opinion supported by the vast majority of voters, according to polls from the time.

Watch:

The Obama incident came just days after Biden had to be redirected by another world leader during a G7 event in Italy. The former president was arrayed with other world leaders as he appeared to wander a few steps away from the group.

The White House at the time attempted to dismiss the clip for having an “artificially narrow frame” that only made it seem as though Biden was walking away from the crowd.

President Biden ultimately ended his re-election campaign following his disastrous performance in the first presidential debate against then-candidate Donald Trump. Biden eventually endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris, who went on to secure the Democratic nomination.

During Joe Biden’s presidency, his son Hunter Biden became a persistent source of controversy and political ammunition for opponents. Hunter’s foreign business dealings, particularly in Ukraine and China, drew scrutiny amid allegations of influence peddling, though no direct evidence implicated President Biden in wrongdoing. His struggles with drug addiction and personal issues, as detailed in his memoir and media coverage, also kept him in the public eye. Most notably, Hunter faced federal investigations over tax evasion and firearm possession charges, with both legal proceedings and the infamous “laptop” story fueling partisan debate over fairness and media bias.
