PBS News Hour may have launched a rebranding campaign this week with a new studio and a new name that now makes News Hour two words instead of one, but that doesn’t mean the weekly Friday recap with New York Times columnist David Brooks and Washington Post columnist and pinch hitter for Jonathan Capeheart, E.J. Dionne, was any better as the duo insisted Hunter Biden is a victim of politics and that Republicans are hypocrites.
Host Geoff Bennett began with Brooks and asked, “David, has the GOP's argument that Joe Biden is ordering prosecutors to target his political opponents, has that been undercut by the fact that Joe Biden's Justice Department successfully prosecuted his son?”
Brooks began by repeating what he said a week ago, “Yeah, I guess so, yes. No — well, a couple of things. I do not think Hunter Biden would be having these trials if his dad wasn't president. I think he was in a terrible mess. He was addicted to drugs. He signed some false documents. Yeah, that's bad.”
