Rightwing politicians repeat unfounded theories that gun trial verdict is a ‘distraction’ from worse Biden crimes
Republicans responded to Hunter Biden’s conviction on Tuesday of lying about his drug use to buy a gun by doubling down on conspiracy theories that many senior party figures have been using to try and damage his president father.
Despite the fact that Joe Biden’s son could now face a hefty jail sentence, Donald Trump’s election campaign and its surrogates repeated unfounded attack lines that the conviction was part of a conspiracy to deflect attention from more serious crimes and represented the use of the Department of Justice (DoJ) as a political weapon.
Republicans have long sought to use Hunter Biden’s woes and business dealings as a political weapon against Biden, ignoring the fact that Trump himself is also now a convicted felon whose own business empire has been fined hundreds of millions of dollars for fraudulent practises.
That tactic continued in the wake of Hunter’s guilty verdict.

Gotta say, for a guy they keep presenting as a senile, barely-functional bumbling idiot, orchestrating a trial to throw your own son in jail just to generate a distraction is kinda badass.
Some real “getting captured was my plan all along” energy right there.
The enemy is both weak and strong
Now they’re claiming he takes drugs when he wants to be functional. And one idiot (Hannity?) even said it was Red Bull.
Hey I do that too! Stop trying to make Biden relatable you jerks!

They cannot celebrate his conviction because that would undermine their assertion that the trump trial was rigged.
In a twisted way, their reaction makes sense, and for me, was predictable. The cult must be constantly managed for it to remain intact.
The collective confusion and mental gymnastics to twist it when Republicans heard about the Hunter Biden conviction cost the US billions in lost productivity.
So the prosecution of Trump is a political move, meant to create negative attention on Trump. And the prosecution of Hunter Biden is a political move, meant to draw attention away from Trump.
Ok.
I’m just waiting for them to accuse Biden of weaponizing the justice system against his own son.
I mean, they kinda just did…
Hunter was dragging down the whole crime family with his incompetence! He had to be dealt with!
its rigging all the way down.
Republicans, the party of being a fucking pussy ass bitch
This is why what Republicans might say should never factor into what rational people do.
No matter what happens, they’re gonna make up some bullshit to fearmonger.
They call Biden a communist extremist that will make college free, tax the rich, and give us free healthcare…
So like, why not just run someone that actually wants all that stuff for Americans?
Even if Dems don’t fight for, republicans will say we are.
They had two talking points ready to go depending on the outcome. Talking Point A, he’s acquitted so the whole thing is rigged against Trump, and Taking Point B, he’s convicted, but it was all a sham to make Trump look bad.
It doesn’t matter what happens in any situation, Repubs go to their spreadsheet, look up the talking point they need to use to make themselves look like the victim, and spread it. Rinse, lather, repeat.
The embarrassing thing is when they don’t all get the latest changes and get out of sync on the current talking points. Republicans, always do an update refresh before speaking!
It’s the old line about telling lies and having to keep track of them…much easier to just stick with reality and the facts.
You can see the syncing happen in real time when something big and unexpected happens, and it takes about 24h for them to get the narrative straight.
When the Pelosi attack happened, I was curious and monitored r/conservative.
For the first 12h or so, they were for the most part human. Most highly rated comments were along the lines of “I don’t agree with her politics, but this is wrong.”
There were still a few comments celebrating the attack with mixed votes.
Then about 12 hrs in, conspiracy theories started trickling in with mixed reactions ranging from gleeful excitement to disgust.
24h in, all of the respectful comments were buried to oblivion, and the conspiracy theories and comments celebrating violence had fully taken over.
It was both enlightening and absolutely repulsive to watch how their propaganda worked in real time.
talking point c, he is executerd because they wanted to use his blood in a ritual at a pizza hut to make children more susceptible to pedos.

Yes yes everything that doesn’t go your way is unfair and fake.
But it did go their way, they’re just pissed because the timing of when it went their way totally undermines their talking points about Trump and his trial.
Yeah sorry I should have been more clear that’s what I meant, but it didn’t go exactly the way they imagined in their head
Are you saying your initial comment didn’t go your way? That sounds like a false flag operation! The enemy is inside your brain!
Except the Hunter Biden trial did go their way and they’re still saying that.
If they weren’t consistently stupid, the MAGAt’s would really have nothing to bind them.
It is funny the timing of all this. Republicans went after Hunter Biden because they were convinced that they could make Joe Biden look bad if he had a criminal son.
But very little of Hunter’s issues have meaningfully rubbed off on Joe, outside of the more conspiratorial conservatives whose opinions of Joe Biden were bad to begin with.
But now that they got what they wanted, and Hunter is a convicted felon, it has completely taken the wind out of the “Joe Biden controls the justice system to persecute his rivals” narrative that they want to push after Donald Trump’s felony conviction.
And they can’t even lay into Hunter Biden as a distraction because he was convicted of gun crimes.
“republicans cause more problems for no reason because they are fucking jackasses and a threat to America.”
Fixed the headline.
God damn this is just so embarrassing. I hate both of these idiots and hope they drown in a grease trap, but I would feel less bad for them if they cut off their own hand on live TV.
