Hunter Biden used the n-word multiple times in conversation with his white, $845-per-hour lawyer, his texts messages reveal.
The shocking texts may prove embarrassing for his father President Joe Biden, who just last week gave a speech decrying racism on the 100th anniversary of the Tulsa massacre, and has sought to portray racial justice as a top priority for his administration.
The president’s son joked in a January 2019 text to corporate attorney George Mesires about a ‘big penis’, and said to the lawyer: ‘I only love you because you’re black’ and ‘true dat n***a’.
In another text a month earlier he wrote to the Chicago lawyer saying: ‘how much money do I owe you. Becaause (sic) n***a you better not be charging me Hennessy rates.’
Mesires replied: ‘That made me snarf my coffee.’
Hunter added: ‘That’s what im saying ni…’, cutting off the racial slur mid-word, then texted a picture to Mesires.
Among the photos stored on Hunter’s laptop was a meme of his father and President Obama that also included the n-word, though it is unclear why he saved it.
In a speech last week on the 100th anniversary of the Tulsa massacre in which a white mob killed an estimated 300 black people in Oklahoma, Joe Biden said he had come to ‘fill the silence’.
‘Some injustices are so heinous, so horrific, so grievous, they cannot be buried, no matter how hard people try,’ he said. ‘Only with truth can come healing.’
Biden pledged to help fight racism in policing following George Floyd’s death, and has even backed studies exploring reparations for slavery and other injustices against African Americans.
The president picked the US’s first black vice president, and was himself VP to the first black president.
In an interview on NBC’s Today show in April, the president said he did not believe that the country was racist.
‘I don’t think America is racist,’ he said. ‘but I think the overhang from all of the Jim Crow—and before that, slavery—have had a cost.
‘After 400 years African Americans have been left in a position where they’re so far behind the eight ball in terms of education, health—in terms of opportunity.
‘We have to deal with it.’
Now, the hashtag #RacistHunter is trending on Twitter.
Some users expressed shock at the racist epithets hurled by the sitting president’s son, while others attempted to find humor in the devastatingly racist language.
“Hunter is confirmed an atheist, racist with a drug problem… Who raised him?”
“So you’re telling me Hunter Biden uses racial slurs? I wonder who he learned it from?”
“The media would’ve fried @DonaldJTrumpJr & @EricTrump if they had texted the N word like racist Hunter did with his attorney,” wrote Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene. “He also does business with America’s enemies using his father’s positions of power to get rich. And Joe Biden is compromised [because] of Hunter.”
