Hunter Biden Slams Journalist In Heated Tirade
The recent outburst by Hunter Biden on the “Wide Awake Podcast” marks a new low in the ongoing clash between political families and the journalists who investigate them.
In a tirade that was as personal as it was profane, Biden launched a stunning verbal assault against Miranda Devine, a seasoned columnist for the New York Post and the author of Laptop from Hell, the book that cataloged the contents of his now-notorious laptop.
Biden didn’t pull any punches. He called Devine “horrendously ugly” both “physically and in terms of her ethics,” before delivering a chilling dismissal of her humanity, saying, “I don’t know anybody that is going to be mourning her when she’s gone.” The moment was raw, emotional, and, arguably, revealing — not just of Hunter’s frustration, but of the deeply entrenched animosity he holds toward the media coverage that has haunted his family since 2020.
Devine has been a central figure in exposing the Biden laptop story, which first broke on October 14, 2020. Though she wasn’t the bylined reporter on that explosive piece, her subsequent work turned her into one of its most visible champions. She later detailed further findings in her book, which included eyebrow-raising messages, photos, and emails that have fueled public scrutiny and political firestorms alike.
Twitter infamously suppressed the original Post story, blocking users from sharing it under the justification of potentially hacked materials. That move sparked an enduring debate over tech censorship and media bias.
Days later, a group of over 50 former intelligence officials suggested — without evidence — that the laptop had “all the classic earmarks of Russian disinformation,” a claim that was repeated in headlines but has since unraveled under further authentication efforts, including forensic analysis obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.
The contents of the laptop were disturbing. In addition to Hunter Biden’s admissions of drug use and sexual behavior, there was an alleged meeting involving Joe Biden, Hunter, and a Burisma executive. Another standout detail includes text exchanges between Hunter and his therapist, Keith Ablow, joking about then-candidate Joe Biden potentially suffering from dementia — an exchange that has only added to questions surrounding the president’s cognitive health.
Hunter’s recent podcast appearance, then, is more than a rant. It’s the visceral pushback of a man who has been the subject of relentless public examination — some legitimate, some possibly politically motivated — and who is now lashing out at the chroniclers of his downfall.
But by choosing to go after Devine’s looks and suggesting her death wouldn’t matter, Biden didn’t just sidestep the facts — he arguably gave more weight to them.
