  To be sure, such comments could only emerge from someone with no respect for the intelligence of his audience . In order to accept Williams's spin on the Hunter Biden saga — that he is a mere "troubled child" and that President Biden deserves sympathy as a result — one would need to know almost nothing about it in the first place. For starters, describing a 53-year-old as a “troubled child” is the stuff of Will Ferrell movies, not real life.

After all, who doesn't know someone who served on the board of a Ukrainian oil and gas company that paid $1 million per year in exchange for access to the vice president of the United States? Or someone who threatened Chinese nationals with retribution from his vice presidential father if payments weren't transferred to his account by sundown?
