“Schmoozing at a state dinner for the Indian prime minister. Strolling past a bank of cameras before taking off in Marine One for Camp David. Waving to crowds from the White House balcony on the Fourth of July,” the Wall Street Journal reports.
“These are all pieces of presidential theater. But in each instance, the actor is Hunter Biden, not his father, Joe, though the president is close at hand. Taken together, they capture how closely and squarely in the spotlight President Biden has kept his scandal-plagued son.”
