Social Media Reacts To Hunter Biden Verdict
Within minutes of hearing the news that Hunter Biden was found guilty on Tuesday of illegally owning a gun in 2018, people took to social media to discuss the verdict.
And, of course, many folks couldn’t help but compare and contrast the legal issues of President Joe Biden’s son with those of former President Donald Trump.
BREAKING: Hunter Biden GUILTY on 31 fewer counts than Trump.

BREAKING: Hunter Biden guilty in criminal gun trial. Look forward to Trump and GOP saying this was a "Rigged" trial brought by a Trump appointed prosecutor. (Spoiler: they won't despite the prosecutor being PERSONALLY appointed by Donald Trump)

Hunter Biden is now a convicted felon and I’m sorry but people should not ever support him either for president.

Trump is already claiming he has more felony convictions than the Biden family, no one does felony convictions like him apparently

New Talking Point just dropped:

Whatever the verdict in the Hunter Biden trial, I can assure you that President Biden and the leaders in his party will not attack the judge, the jury, and the judicial system just for prosecuting the president’s son.pic.twitter.com/LBN0Nv1GFH

The jury convicted Hunter Biden in accordance w/the evidence. But what was really outrageous was how the judge & his staff were threatened throughout the trial, how the prosecutors were doxxed, how the witnesses were hounded, how the jurors were endangered . . .

Other people discussed whether the case was really, truly a sign of the Justice Department being weaponized.
Stunned and chagrined by the unanimous guilty verdicts in the Hunter Biden gun purchase and possession case. The evidence against the president’s son was overwhelming. Still, I thought the family’s show of support and the hometown jury’s shared experiences would command…

Joe Biden has weaponized the Justice Department to punish his enemies and

The irony of the MAGAts cheering the Hunter Biden guilty verdict when they're the same ones who say don't come for mah guns is rich. They're just vindictive vultures. Guess what MAGAts, Hunter Biden still isn't running for president, but your convicted felon&adjudicated rapist is

Many people debated whether the case should have been brought to trial in the first place.
Hunter Biden is guilty on three gun charges. Yes, he did it. Also, half the country has done this crime - saying that you haven't done any drugs on a gun form (including pot). Are you going to go to jail for this? No, because you'd never be charged with this rinky-dink bullshit.

JUST ANNOUNCED!
Republicans in Congress are OUTRAGED that the jury found Hunter Biden guilty of firearms possession.
His second amendment rights SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED!
Just kidding, they only defend mass shooters and spree killer Kyle Rittenhouse. https://t.co/mlfO54rtdO— Helis Bor (@helisbor) June 11, 2024
Wow sorry to see this. Guilty of being an addict and making a bad choice to buy a gun. He is no longer an addict. He wrote a Self-help book to help other addicts and they used it to charge him. How sad. #HunterBidenhttps://t.co/c56hfMYSLx
