A senior member of the U.S. Senate Democratic Caucus had some choice words for Hunter Biden after the former first son made an astounding claim about the state of his father’s health last year.
Connecticut Senator Richard Blumenthal said on Capitol Hill Tuesday that Hunter Biden’s comments were ‘regrettable, because we need to be looking forward and focusing on the past really makes no sense.’
The younger Biden appeared in an interview with YouTuber Andrew Callaghan which aired Monday, during which he made shocking claims about his father, former President Joe Biden.
Hunter revealed that the sleep aid Ambien was to blame for his father’s disastrous presidential debate performance, which became a turning point in the 2024 campaign.
Monday’s interview marked the one year anniversary of the presidential debate between then-incumbent Biden and current President Donald Trump, after which Biden withdrew from the race.
‘I know exactly what happened in that debate,’ Biden’s son said. ‘He flew around the world. He’s 81 years old. He’s tired. They gave him Ambien to be able to sleep and he gets up on the stage and looks like a deer in the headlights.’
The then president blamed his lousy June 27, 2024 performance on a cold, though had spent several days at Camp David resting up ahead of the Atlanta showdown.
As Republicans in the House and the Senate have been conducting investigations into the usage of the autopen by former President Joe Biden, Democrats have had to toe a tough line.

Blumenthal has called the GOP investigations ‘performative and theatrical’ and told the Washington Examiner last month that he was ‘not super interested in’ attending a hearing on Biden’s presidential pardon power.
Yet, one of the actions taken by Biden via autopen during the last few days of presidency was the decision to commute the prison sentence of Adrian Peeler, a man who planned and committed the murder of an eight-year-old boy and his mother in 1999.
The crime happened in Connecticut, Blumenthal’s home state, and the senator remarked back in January that somebody had ‘dropped the ball’ with that particular decision.
Hunter Biden’s bombshell interview made numerous headlines Monday as the former first son unleashed f-bomb-laden rants and made shocking revelations about his family.
Hunter also attacked prominent Democrats such as his father’s former ambassador to Japan Rahm Emanuel, who criticized Democrats performance in the 2024 election, and actor George Clooney who called for the elder Biden to drop out of the Presidential race last year.
Hunter even went as far to say that he would invade El Salvador if they refuse to send back deportees sent to the country by the Trump administration.
Texas Sen. Ted Cruz remarked that the rant was ‘unhinged.’
‘This is the current state of the Democrat party,’ he added.
