In reply to the discussion: Biden should directly address this made up Hunter story [View all]ScratchCat
(2,717 posts)26. This is the only thing that slightly bothers me
About this story. Even though most of the media is not taking it seriously, Hunter Biden simply stating "I never took a laptop to a repair shop in Delaware" kills the story on the rest of the media that is covering it. Joe's camp saying "we checked our records and Joe never attended any such meeting" should have included a statement from Hunter about never going to a Delaware repair shop with a laptop. Its almost like Joe was hedging, and I don't know why(the stuff is clearly fake). A friend of mine opined that maybe the emails are partially real and likely edited, but they illegally acquired them and then invented the laptop story as a cover for how they got them.

I don't think so. If you're inclined to believe it, you're already voting for Trump.

I'm cool if he uses the explanation as a way to show himself as a loving parent.

I don't know what he should do, but he should have a quick, witty response to move on and not

They will say "His denial just proves that it's true". There's no cure-all strategy...

Let them run with this nonsense. If it's not this, they will just attack with something else.
