Hunter Biden’s an Artist Now?

Joe Biden’s son is selling his “art” for a lot of money, and it’s going to cause nothing but trouble.

It’s certainly no secret that Joe Biden’s youngest song Hunter has been shrouded in controversy quite often recently, whether it be sitting on the board of a Ukrainian gas company, or like now, when he appears to have decided art is his new hobby. Of course, who are we to judge someone for finding a new interest? That said, it’s all but guaranteed eyebrows are going to be raised when the new “artist” is the son of the President of the United States, and will be selling his “art” at prices ranging from $75,000 to $200,000.

Obviously, we should be asking ourselves if any other artist just starting out with comparable work would be asking these kinds of prices at their first show, and I think we all know the answer.

In fact, Hunter Biden’s supposed new hobby has become so controversial for the White House that they’ve scrambled to get ahead of the press when he sells it, assuring the public that the owner of the New York City gallery where they’re being sold will not reveal any names of buyers to Hunter Biden or the administration.

It should go without saying that there are still a number of challenges with that plan.
