Fox News’ Jesse Watters said Monday on “The Five” that Hunter Biden “doesn’t give an F” about what Democrats think, calling out how Democrat California Gov. Gavin Newsom couldn’t compete with Hunter’s “swagger” in a potential 2028 race.
Hunter sat down with Channel 5 for a three-hour interview, sharing his thoughts on his father, former President Joe Biden. Hunter also discussed his father’s 2024 presidential campaign. While discussing the interview, a co-host on “The Five” said Hunter was “not wrong” when calling out Democrat pundits who turned their backs on the former president after his disastrous debate in June 2024.
“When Roman emperors used to murder their political rivals, they used to not just murder the rival. They’d murder the entire family” Watters said. “Because if you leave the son alive, he’ll spend the rest of his life seeking revenge. They may have killed off Joe Biden, but Hunter Biden is very much alive. Make no mistake, everything he’s saying is exactly what Joe Biden is thinking. This is dark Brandon Jr.”
“This is the guy the memo was about. This is a guy who doesn’t give an F. He’s macho. He’s bold. To say that they’re going to invade El Salvador to bring back the bad hombres. That’s like left-wing Trump. This is what they’ve been looking for,” Watters added.
Prior to Biden debating President Donald Trump in June 2024, Democrats had backed the former president for a second term. Videos of Biden stumbling and misspeaking circulated online, with former White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre labeling them “cheap fakes” and blaming Republicans for the pushback.
WATCH:
Biden, during the debate, was seen struggling to finish his arguments against Trump and even froze mid-sentence at one point. Soon after, Democrats and media pundits called for Biden to step down from his presidential campaign.
With Democratic donors freezing funds to the party as long as Biden remained in the race, celebrities like George Clooney wrote an op-ed for The New York Times in July 2024, saying the former president was too impaired to be the nominee.
“Gavin Newsom doesn’t have an ounce of that kind of swagger because that is real. The problem with the Democratic Party, the autopsy, whatever you want to call it, they don’t even want to talk about Biden,” Watters said. “They don’t want to see Joe. They don’t want to see Hunter.”
“But this guy is going to be on a revenge tour, the likes of which we’ve never seen, and his dad is writing a book. So they’re never going to get rid of him,” Watters said. “The only way they do it, Tom Homan has to deport the Biden family to go spend time with Irish Rosie [O’Donnell]. And I bet the Democrats would say, ‘Tom, get him out.’”
Democrats have struggled to rally behind a single voice and leader for the party since Trump’s win in November 2024. Questions about who could become the new face of the 2028 Democratic primaries have circulated, with names like Newsom, New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg floated as possible options.
