that DailyMail: this Tuesday revealed the voicemail message Joe Biden left on his son Hunter’s answering machine on October 15, 2018, while he was in the grip of his demons.
The escape of Joe Biden’s son Hunter, who has long struggled with drug and alcohol addiction, regularly makes headlines. So much so that she was often seen as a potential blemish on her father’s political career. This time, things may well restore 46’s imagee President of the United States.
This Tuesday, October 11, DailyMail: revealed a voicemail left by Joe Biden on October 15, 2018, on his younger brother’s voicemail. We hear the politician, on the verge of tears, plead for help with Hunter, who has just bought a gun and has a serious drug problem.
“It’s dad. I am calling to tell you that I love you. I love you more than the world, my friend. You need to get help, Joe Biden laments. I know you don’t know what to do…Me neither. Three days ago, Hunter Biden did purchase a .38 caliber handgun at a gun store in Wilmington, Delaware. And this, despite the fact that he was a drug addict at the time. This weapon would end up in a grocery store bin after it was found and then discarded by Hallie Biden, the widow of his brother Bo, who gradually became Hunter’s confidant and then companion.

Fox News’ anti-Biden campaign
The recording is already making a big noise in the USA. Especially since Fox News tried to use it to compromise the president. “It’s really sad,” quipped conservative TV commentator Sean Hannity. Before Joe Biden’s support for condemning his son when he hid his drug addiction so he could get a gun; Hunter Biden did, in fact, give instructions not to use illegal drugs when he bought the gun. Problem: In his autobiography, published in 2021, the main stakeholder admitted that he was addicted to crack cocaine at the same time.
Fox News’ anti-Biden campaign clearly did not have the desired results. On the contrary, Joe Biden’s message of love to his son touched Americans. “Fox News must have thought that airing that voicemail would do his father a disservice. It’s the opposite,” observes independent journalist Theo Laubri.
Hunter Biden. confessions and inclinations
In his autobiography The Beautiful Things:Released in September 2021, Hunter Biden lifts the curtain on his addiction issues. He reveals that he fell into alcoholism there in the early 2000s. An addiction that he managed to fight after many rehabs and meetings with Alcoholics Anonymous.
In November 2010, it was a relapse. A few months ago, his brother Beau was admitted to the hospital with a “mild seizure.” Three years later, doctors diagnosed the elder Biden with a brain tumor. Hunter Biden, who was then living in Washington, D.C., began drinking “twelve to sixteen hours straight.” He was soon fired from his job as a Navy reservist after testing positive for cocaine. His new duties, in April 2014, on the board of directors of Burisma, a powerful Ukrainian energy company, will bring about his deepest addiction.
“While at first my comfortable pay allowed me more and more time and resources to care for my brother, it served the worst aspects of my addictive impulses after his death,” she laments. Beau Biden finally died on June 6, 2015 at the age of 46 in a hospital room surrounded by his father, brother and their family.
Revival 2019
A year later, Hunter begins another recovery. But out of anger he slams the door and cycles through the streets of Washington. He seeks out one person, Rhea, nicknamed “Bikes,” a “black homeless man riding a mountain bike three times his size,” whom he met in the early 1990s, and whom he asks to supply him with crack.
Rhea will end up delivering it every day and will settle in the businessman’s apartment for five months. “Most of the time we’d just sit on the couch and smoke tons of crack,” Hunter Biden reveals. The hellish spiral lasts for three years. Until he met Melissa Cohen, whom he will marry in 2019. To this day, in any case, Hunter Biden is officially sober.
