Sounding off on a Monday, December 2 broadcast of her hit SiriusXM radio show and podcast, ‘The Megyn Kelly Show,” former Fox News Channel personality Megyn Kelly utterly torched President Joe Biden’s sweeping, blanket pardon of his formerly drug-addicted son Hunter, who had been facing potentially serious fines and jail time over his tax non-payment and firearms violations.
To do so, Kelly shared her own family’s horrific story of drug addiction and tragedy, telling her audience that her sister had gotten caught in the opioid crisis through prescription painkillers and that addiction ruined her life and caused serious problems for the family and herself, eventually finding herself in court and facing her punishment, unlike Hunter.
Beginning the story, Kelly explained how her sister got hooked on the highly addictive drugs, saying, “The audience has heard me talk about this in bits and pieces over the years, but I will just offer this: My own sister got swept up into the opioid crisis. It was not through fault of her own. She needed pain medication after an incident she suffered. They gave her an opioid and specifically told her it was not addictive. She started taking the drug and, sure enough, she got addicted, and then she got really addicted, and then her life went to hell.”
Continuing, she noted that her sister’s life took a significantly downward turn after the prescription drugs hooked her, saying, “We had never had an alcoholic or drug addict in the family, and my poor sister’s life got completely blown up by this addiction to the point where she ultimately – once the family sort of tried to let her have a tough love period where we weren’t helping her out of the jams that she was creating – found herself in the throes of the criminal law.”
Noting how that turned out, she said, “It was penny-ante stuff, but she did wind up on the wrong side. And you know what she did? She had to get a public defender, and she had to handle the penalty. She didn’t go to jail or anything like that, but it remained a mark on her record. And do you know what that does to a person? You cannot get a job, and no one gives a damn that you were addicted. No one cares about that backstory I just gave to you.”
Using that to sound off on Hunter and Joe with a vengeance, she said, “So, f-ck you, Joe Biden, and your sob story about your rich, spoiled presidential kid Hunter Biden and how he has been singled out because I know I speak for millions of people who have an addict in their family who did something they are not proud of and could never get out from under it.”
She added, turning to Joe and what he was involved with, “We have no sympathy for you, Hunter Biden, and even less for you, Joe Biden, because you enabled all of it. You were using him to line your own pocket. That is what the emails that said ’10 percent for the big guy’ and Tony Bobulinski and others suggest. This is one of the many reasons why this whole thing is so irritating.”
Kelly later added, commenting on Biden’s attempts to minimize the charges Hunter faced, “No, he was shielded from those charges, which were serious felonies as outlined by those two IRS whistleblowers who came forward. He was shielded because of his name and only when the whistleblowers spoke out and it became very clear what had happened within the DOJ and the IRS was the DOJ forced to bring what was left of the charges because the vast majority of them had been intentionally allowed to expire.
