The Obama Bros are the former staffers and speechwriters behind the ‘Pod Save America’ podcast. They were mentioned in Hunter Biden’s bizarre rant interview this week and they’re not happy about what he said.
In their response, they knock Hunter, saying that he was a liability for his father’s presidency. They bring up his involvement in Burisma and his brief art career. It’s a pretty harsh response.
It’s a reminder that the Democrats are still very divided over the 2024 election and other issues.
Partial transcript via Real Clear Politics:
“Pod Save America” hosts Jon Favreau, Jon Lovett, and Tommy Vietor respond to criticism from Hunter Biden of the Democratic Party replacing President Biden with VP Harris in the 2024 election campaign.
“Imagine how hard it must be for Hunter Biden to watch all these people dining out on somebody’s name,” Lovett joked.
“You were on the board of Burisma because of who your dad is, and that is what people hate about Washington. It was part of the problem,” Vietor said, in response to Hunter Biden’s lengthy interview with “Channel 5.” “It is three hours of Hunter playing the victim.”
“One thing we know is that Hunter Biden, throughout Joe Biden’s presidency, was a terrible liability for him,” Lovett said. “Addiction aside, it was because he was on Burisma, because he became an artist, because he was part of a kind of sleazy Washington that people hated.”
“You were a liability,” he said to Hunter. “You should be ashamed of the ways in which you made your father’s political life worse. And the idea that we’re going to listen to you now—give me a break. It’s ridiculous.”

Hunter burned a lot of bridges in that interview.
