Hunter Biden reportedly issued a violent threat toward CNN’s Jake Tapper in an apparent effort to prevent the left-wing anchor from covering scandals related to the former first family.
The scandal-plagued son of former President Joe Biden reportedly threatened to “knock out” Tapper during a confrontation at the 2018 Super Bowl.
The Daily Mail reported that Tapper has been clashing with Hunter Biden for years.
Tapper is currently promoting his new book titled “Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again.”
Biden and Tapper reportedly almost came to blows during a bizarre incident at Super Bowl LII in Minneapolis.
The Super Bowl is a destination for America’s elite to mingle and wave to the masses.
As such, politicos like Biden and Tapper can be found in abundance.
Reportedly, Tapper went to meet Hunter Biden after shaking hands with former Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA).
However, the meeting was hostile, and Biden told Tapper that under different circumstances, “I would knock you out.”
Tapper and CNN have a long history of ignoring scandals involving the Bidens and the Democrats, offering only favorable coverage.
However, Tapper believes that Hunter Biden mistakenly believes he reported on scandals involving his personal life.
Some theorize that Hunter Biden was particularly angry about coverage of scandals ranging from his drug use to his divorce in 2017.
Another theory is that the bad blood stems from when Tapper had allegedly called Biden to inform him from an unknown number that his brother Beau had died.
Tapper has denied that latter theory extensively, stating that “at no point in my life have I ever called Hunter Biden—I’ve never even had his phone number—and I would never have contacted a person’s immediate family during such a challenging and personal time.”
Addressing the Super Bowl incident, Tapper stated that “Hunter did once confront me at a Super Bowl party, but it was over an unrelated issue – coverage he wrongly believed I had done regarding divorce allegations of drug use and using prostitutes, which I actually had never done.”
Of course, it’s possible that Biden would disagree with Tapper’s explanation of the incident, but he has remained silent on the issue.
Hunter Biden has been working to keep a low profile these past few months after receiving a presidential pardon from his father back in January to cover his many criminal indictments.
Prior to his father’s last-minute pardon, Hunter Biden was in a world of legal trouble.
In December, Hunter Biden pleaded guilty to three felony tax offenses and six misdemeanor tax offenses.
Had he been convicted for his crimes, Biden would have faced a maximum penalty of 17 years in prison.
That all changed when his father gave him a pardon that he told Americans he would never give in the name of ensuring no one was above the law.
Of course, the Biden family is part of the protected elite and most definitely above the law.
Tapper is lucky that Biden didn’t rough him up, knowing that he would face little legal repercussion for it.
