Let me begin by saying there is a lot to be critical of President Biden for, and yes, even when it comes to his son Hunter. There’s no denying it’s worth asking why he was on the board of that Ukrainian gas company making six figures while his father was serving as Vice President, especially considering the fact that he had absolutely no expertise in that area. Of course, the time when Hunter Biden decided he was an artist and was selling his work for hundreds of thousands of dollars also comes to mind.

But what is the right wing focusing on, now?

Well, Sean Hannity on FOX News decided to air a private 2018 voicemail that the President left for his son, where he could be heard saying:

“It’s Dad. I called to tell you I love you. I love you more than the whole world, pal. You gotta get some help. I know you don’t know what to do. I don’t either.”

I saw the screen capture of this transcript for the voicemail on FOX, and just found myself asking why.
