Hunter Biden’s latest podcast appearance was not a stumble — it was a statement of contempt for decency. On the Wide Awake Podcast he urged Democrats to “turn the temperature up,” attacked journalist Miranda Devine in vicious, personal terms, and even suggested Charlie Kirk’s assassination somehow “served” MAGA, remarks that exposed a man who should be sidelined, not celebrated.
If you needed a sober reaction, Byron York delivered it on The Ingraham Angle, calling out the grotesque logic behind Biden’s comments and noting that Hunter is “applying the logic of his experience as a crack addict” to the nation. That’s not clever rhetoric; it’s a confession that the left’s strategy may be to manufacture chaos until the country “hits rock bottom.”
Even some on the left are alarmed. Democratic strategist Michael LaRosa warned on Fox that the party’s slide into hyperbolic, violent-sounding language has become a liability, and he explicitly pushed back against Hunter Biden’s call to escalate rhetoric — a rare, honest admission that these tactics are costing Democrats credibility.
Make no mistake: encouraging uglier rhetoric is not courage, it is cowardice. Byron York rightly pointed out that hoping America will have to “hit rock bottom” to heal is a disastrous prescription; conservatives believe in renewal, not engineered collapse, and we will not gamble our economy, our families, or our civil peace on the reckless experiments of a party that rewards outrage.
Hunter’s attempt to rewrite the facts around the Kirk tragedy and to suggest it “served” one side is dangerous and dishonest. His stream-of-consciousness about the shooter and his bizarre asides about public figures weren’t analysis — they were bait for chaos, and they were amplified by left-wing outlets that routinely excuse this kind of intimidation as political theater.
The Biden brand, long propped up by sympathetic media and family loyalty, keeps producing scandals and excuses while pushing a corrosive politics. If Democrats think personal attacks and calls for escalation are a winning strategy, they’ve mistaken anger for power; real leadership restores order, defends the innocent, and holds the violent and the vile accountable, no matter whose last name they share.
Americans who love freedom and the rule of law should reject this embrace of chaos outright and demand better from both the press and the party that enabled these attacks. We will stand for accountability, for decency in public discourse, and for a future where political differences are settled at the ballot box — not on the streets, not in podcasts, and not at the urging of a man still defined by his worst choices.
