Rahm Emanuel hits back after Hunter Biden attack

Hunter Biden’s profanity-filled rant in a recent interview caught the attention of former President Obama’s chief of staff, who dismissed the insults as not worth his time.

Rahm Emanuel spoke with Megyn Kelly about the younger Biden unleashing on nearly everyone as he defended his father, former President Joe Biden, and called out prominent Democrats, including former Obama advisors like Emanuel and David Axelrod.

“I’m kind of feeling for Axelrod right now. He got thrown down in the gutter with me,” the former Chicago mayor laughed when asked about the raging criticism.

“I think we’re giving this more time than it’s due. That’s my own view,” Emanuel continued on “The Megyn Kelly Show.”

“A little empathetic, you have a son who’s blinded by his own love for, in effect, and loyalty for his father, and I get that, but not the first phone call I’m gonna make for a strategery,” he added.

Emanuel, who served as U.S. Ambassador to Japan under President Biden, reacted to Hunter Biden’s expletive-filled interview with comedian and journalist Andrew Callaghan, which aired Monday.

“As you probably know, there’s a lot of stories about Dems having to now start swearing to look like they’re normal or something like that. I was thirty years ahead of my time,” Emanuel told Kelly.  “I’m like a good bottle of wine. I mean, I don’t– I just– We spent two minutes, way too much time on that.”

Hunter Biden unloaded on Emanuel during the interview, and the reports that he might run for president.

“I hear Rahm Emanuel is gonna run for president. What a f—ing– like, David Axelrod’s gonna run his campaign for him,” he said. “Like, oh boy, there’s the answer. There’s the f—ing answer. Geniuses all.”

He also ripped into views on immigration, vehemently disagreeing with Americans who voted for President Trump to handle the spiraling migrant crisis wrought by the open borders of his father’s administration.

“White men in America are 45 more times likely to commit a f—ing violent crime than an immigrant,” Biden raged.

“And the media says, you got David Axelrod and Rahm f—ing Emanuel. So f—ing smart Rahm Emanuel, he said. ‘We gotta understand that these people are really mad and we gotta appeal to these white voters.’ Rahm, the only people that f—ing appeal to those f—ing white voters was Joe Biden. 81 years old and he got 81 million votes and he did not because he appeased their f—ing Trumpian sense but because he challenged it,” he continued.
