Hunter Biden doesn’t hold Barack Obama in high regard. Tension between their families has persisted since Obama famously cautioned against Joe Biden as a successor, remarking, “Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to f*** things up.”
Unsurprisingly, this has led to ongoing friction involving the former President’s family and associates. The ongoing animosity remains a fascinating topic for many.
In an excerpt from journalist Jonathan Karl’s upcoming book, “Retribution: Donald Trump and the Campaign that Changed America,” Hunter recounts an incident that almost drove him to confront Obama on stage before his father withdrew from the presidential race.
The incident in question occurred during a Los Angeles fundraiser in June 2024. At this event, Obama took Joe’s hand and led him off stage after a joint appearance with comedian Jimmy Kimmel.
Many will recall that moment when Joe Biden seemed to freeze temporarily, prompting Obama to step in and guide him backstage.

According to Hunter, that moment singularly enraged him beyond comprehension. So much so that he almost launched a profane tirade against Obama, got in his face, and threatened him.
“I knew that that was going to be a meme,” Hunter says in the book, according to Axios. “That really, really, really, really pissed me off.”
He added, “I almost jumped up on the stage and said, ‘Don’t ever f***ing do that to the president of the United States again — ever.”
Mad as he was, Hunter’s near threat came less than two weeks before his father crashed and burned spectacularly in the presidential debate against Donald Trump.
Biden at one point during the debate went on a meandering monologue about God knows what, and ended his thoughts with, “We finally beat Medicare.”
Trump would later quip, “I really don’t know what he said at the end of that sentence, and I don’t think he knows what he said either.”
The rest, as they say, was history. Biden’s cognitive decline, actively covered up by the Democrats and the media for years, was laid bare for the world to see.
Biden: “Making sure we make every single solitary person eligible for what I’ve been able to do with covid, excuse me, with umm dealing with everything we had to deal with. Look, we finally beat medicare.”

Biden’s performance led NBC News to admit that he was “at times … meandering, incoherent and difficult to hear.” Reality, of course, was that he was all of those things throughout most of his presidency.
The former first son later claimed that President Biden took Ambien before that calamitous debate performance, suggesting the sedative contributed to his father’s “deer in the headlights” appearance.
Hunter, in an interview with Andrew Callaghan of Channel 5, offered exhaustion as an excuse for the performance.
“I’ll tell you what, I know exactly what happened in that debate,” he said. “He flew around the world basically, and the mileage that he could have flown around the world three times. He’s 81 years old.”
“He’s tired as s***. They give him Ambien to be able to sleep,” Hunter claimed. “He gets up on the stage and he looks like he’s a deer in the headlights.”
Being literally ‘Sleepy Joe’ doesn’t account for other high-profile instances of incompetence during his tenure, such as calling out for a recently deceased congresswoman, for example.

Circling back to the fundraiser with Obama – You would think that the primary concern of the now-adoring prodigal son would have been, ‘Hey, why do you think my Dad keeps freezing on stage?’ at this point. But nay, it was, ‘How dare Barack help get him off stage?’
Especially when everyone in Biden’s camp knew he consistently needed help to avoid wandering around aimlessly at public events.
In yet another book, titled “FIGHT: Inside the Wildest Battle for the White House,” and written by Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes, it was revealed that Biden actually had to be led around at appearances and directed where to walk by placing neon-colored pieces of tape on the floor.
Was Hunter equally as outraged about the people who did that?
