Hunter Biden publicly criticized CNN journalist Jake Tapper in a recent podcast appearance, using strong language to denounce Tapper’s journalism and character. The former first son made the remarks during an interview with Don Lemon on Wednesday, referencing Tapper’s new book, "Original Sin," which focuses on President Joe Biden’s unsuccessful 2024 re-election campaign.

Hunter Biden, 56, described Tapper as a “complete and utter a-hole” and accused him of being “full of f---ing s---.” He also questioned Tapper’s journalistic integrity, calling him a “really poor journalist” and stating that he did not consider him a “very decent human being.” The former first son drew a comparison between Tapper and the comedy character Brick Tamland from the film “Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy,” implying a lack of seriousness or competence.

Hunter emphasized that he has known Tapper for 25 years, underscoring the personal nature of his remarks. The outburst came amid ongoing scrutiny of the Biden family and heightened media tensions surrounding coverage of the 2024 presidential election and its aftermath.

Tapper has not publicly responded to Hunter Biden’s comments. The episode highlights the strained relationship between some members of the Biden family and certain media figures, reflecting broader challenges in the current political and media environment.
