We all have that one family member who just can’t stop talking. The one who always says the wrong thing at the wrong time. They think they’re helping, but really, they’re just digging a deeper hole for everyone involved.

The Biden family seems to have this problem in spades. For over a year, they’ve been scrambling to explain away Joe Biden’s terrible debate performance against Donald Trump. First it was a cold, then it was travel fatigue. Now, Hunter Biden has opened his mouth again – and what came out is truly embarrassing for the entire Biden legacy.

Hunter Biden just claimed his father was “strung out on Ambien” during the infamous 2024 presidential debate with Donald Trump. Yes, you read that right. In an interview with YouTuber Andrew Callaghan, Hunter tried to explain his dad’s deer-in-headlights performance by suggesting the then-president of the United States was under the influence of sleep medication.

From ‘The Post Millennial’:

“I know exactly what happened in that debate,” Biden said, “He flew around the world basically, the mileage he could have flown around the world three times, he’s 81-years-old, he’s tired as sh*t, they give him Ambien to be able to sleep, he gets up on the stage and he looks like a deer in the headlights.”

This stunning admission – if we’re to believe Hunter – suggests that the leader of the free world was debating while impaired by sleeping pills. That’s not an excuse – that’s an admission that should shock every American who watched that debate unfold.

Remember when Joe Biden himself blamed a “really bad cold” for his debate performance? Or when his team pointed to his busy travel schedule? Now Hunter wants us to believe it was actually Ambien. Which is it? The stories keep changing, and each new excuse is more unbelievable than the last.

A Dangerous Claim

If Hunter is telling the truth (a big if), this raises serious questions. Was the President of the United States regularly taking powerful sleep medication while in office? Was he making important decisions while under the influence of Ambien?

Ambien isn’t like taking a vitamin. It’s a strong prescription drug that comes with warnings about mental confusion, memory problems, and even strange behaviors. The idea that Biden’s team would let him debate – or worse, govern – while on this medication is truly frightening.

Of course, Hunter’s claim might just be another desperate attempt to explain away what Americans saw with their own eyes – a president who was clearly not at his best.

The Debate That Changed Everything

That June 2024 debate was a turning point in American history. Biden appeared confused, gave rambling answers, and at times seemed completely lost. Trump famously responded to one of Biden’s unclear answers by saying, “I don’t know what he’s saying, and I don’t think he does either.”

Less than a month later, Biden dropped out of the race, clearing the way for Kamala Harris’s failed campaign. Trump went on to win all seven battleground states in a decisive victory that changed the course of American politics.

Hunter’s new Ambien excuse doesn’t help his father’s legacy – it damages it further. It’s also a slap in the face to American voters who deserved to know the truth about their president’s health and capabilities.

The Biden family seems to think Americans will believe anything. First it was a cold, then fatigue, now sleeping pills. What’s next – blaming Biden’s debate performance on aliens?

The truth is much simpler. Americans saw exactly who Joe Biden was during that debate, and they made their choice in November. No amount of excuses from Hunter can change that reality.

Key Takeaways

• Hunter Biden claims his father was under the influence of Ambien during the presidential debate with Trump
• This new excuse contradicts previous explanations that Biden had a “bad cold” or was suffering from travel fatigue
• The suggestion that a sitting president was medicated during a critical debate raises serious concerns about Biden’s presidency
• Hunter’s attempt to explain away his father’s poor performance only further damages the Biden family’s credibility
