White House responds sharply to Hunter Biden's outburst

White House responds sharply to Hunter Biden's outburst

Daily Mail​01-08-2025
The White House has hit back at Hunter Biden's foul-mouthed rant against the Trump administration's efforts to deport illegal immigrants. The former first son slammed the government during a three-hour interview with YouTuber Andrew Callaghan, also targeting Democrats who sat idly by and watched as Trump rounded up and deported immigrants who have called America home.
During their wide-ranging discussion, Biden pondered who would clean hotel rooms, wash dishes and do the gardening if it wasn't for migrants who 'figured out a way to get here' and were willing to work. But the White House didn't hold back in its reply, pointing to a recent ruthless attack on a border agent and a savage reminder of Biden's past addiction struggles. 'A CBP agent was just shot in the face by two criminal illegal aliens that Joe Biden let into the country,' White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson told Fox News. 'But Hunter is more concerned about who is going to clean up his hotel room after his benders. This sort of callous, self-interested maliciousness from the entire Biden Crime Family is exactly why Joe Biden left office with record-low approval ratings.'
Biden has also extensively acknowledged his drug fueled past, sharing a statement at the time which read: 'I have admitted and taken responsibility for my mistakes during the darkest days of my addiction – mistakes that have been exploited to publicly humiliate and shame me and my family for political sport.' Back in 2021, audio emerged in which Biden expressed concerns that Russians had stolen a laptop containing sensitive information after he partied with them in Las Vegas and took drugs in a hotel room.
After Jackson's savage takedown, Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin also weighed in, asking: 'Is it really a surprise that Hunter Biden has no respect for Americans who are upset about the criminal illegal aliens let into our country by Joe Biden? Under Biden's reckless open-border policies, terrorists, gang members, murderers, and child pedophiles were released into American communities. These policies had real consequences. Young Americans, like Laken Riley (pictured) and Jocelyn Nungaray, lost their lives because of illegal aliens who should have never been in this country. President Trump and Secretary Noem will never abandon these victims or their families. DHS will continue to deliver on the mandate of the American people to make America safe again.'
Laken Riley was a 22-year-old nursing student who was murdered while jogging at the University of Georgia by Venezuelan illegal immigrant José Antonio Ibarra in February 2024. He is currently serving a life sentence in prison without the possibility of parole. Twelve-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray (pictured) was sexually assaulted and murdered in July 2024. Two Venezuelan illegal migrants have been charged over her death. Biden hosted Callaghan in his native Wilmington, Delaware , and talked at length about his struggles with crack addiction, the infamous laptop and his views on politics. He was particularly critical of Democrats for not doing more to prevent Trump's mass deportation scheme. '[expletive] you,' Biden said. 'How do you think your hotel room gets cleaned? How do you think you have food on your [expletive] table? Who do you think washes your dishes? Who do you think does your [expletive] garden? 'Who do you think is here by the[expletive] sheer [expletive] just grit and will that they figured out a way to get here because they thought that they could give themselves and their family a better chance.'
Biden expressed disgust that Trump has 'somehow convinced all of us that these people are the [expletive]criminals?' 'White men in America are 45 more times likely to commit a[expletive] violent crime than an immigrant,' he argued. Biden then took swipes at David Axelrod, former President Barack Obama's longtime political strategist, who was one of the few Democrats to openly suggest his father, former President Joe Biden, bow out of a reelection fight last year. The now 82-year-old Democrat did just that exactly one year ago Monday, endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris to take his place.
She lost in the 2024 election to Trump, who swiftly started making good on his plans to deport thousands of immigrants in the US illegally. During the interview, Biden also needled former Chicago mayor, White House chief of staff and House member Rahm Emanuel, who has already floated a 2028 Democratic run for the presidency. 'And the media says, well David Axelrod and Rahm [expletive]Emanuel - so [expletive] smart Rahm Emanuel - who say we've got to understand that these people are really mad and we've got to appeal to these white voters,' Biden continued. 'Rahm, the only people that [expletive] appeal to those [expletive] white voters was Joe Biden at 81-years-old and he got 81 million votes,' he said, referring to his father's 2020 win. 'And he did because, not because he appeased their [expletive] Trumpian sense but because he challenged it,' Biden went on. 'And he said, you can be an 81-year-old Catholic from [expletive] Scranton that doesn't understand it but still has empathy for transgender people and immigrants.'
Biden claimed that Democrats were running away from their values. 'I say, [expletive] you, how are we getting those people back from [expletive] El Salvador?' he asked. Since the beginning of the year, the Trump administration sent hundreds of migrants in the US illegally to El Salvador's mega-prison, CECOT. 'Because I'll tell you what, if I became president in two years from now or four years from now or three years from now, I would pick up the phone and call the [expletive] president of El Salvador and say, ''you either [expletive]send them back or I'm going to [expletive] invade,'' Biden said. 'It's a [expletive] crime what they're doing,' he complained.

Texas mayor's vile outburst about sex with man's wife at LGBT event resurfaces

The mayor of Arlington, Texas, has been accused of cursing out a controversial street preacher in a video published seven years ago. Jim Ross, who has been mayor of the Texas city since 2021, was seen in the footage from Vice in 2018 berating another man at the Southern Decadence festival in New Orleans, an LGBT event held annually over Labor Day weekend. According to The Dallas Express, Ross is the man whose face is blurred and was screaming vulgar obscenities about anal sex at Christian street preacher Ruben Israel. Israel, who died in 2023, was known for showing up to pride events with his supporters and holding anti-gay signs. He also spent a lot of time ridiculing Muslims at Islamic events around the country, once saying that the religion brings ' crime, murder and destruction' wherever it goes. Ross was seen holding a beer at the festival in New Orleans and decided to get up in Israel's face to shout him down. 'I believe y'all can have free speech… But this is some hateful s**t and I am a heterosexual guy,' said Ross, who would be elected mayor of Arlington three years after this event. Israel, who died in 2023, was known for showing up to pride events with his supporters and holding anti-gay signs 'You stand out here like you're a bada** motherf***er, hoping somebody starts some s**t,' Ross said, before calling Israel a 'punk motherf***er'. 'You don't think anal sex is good, do you? Have you ever f***ed your old lady in the *ss?' he added. Israel retorted: 'No, who would do that?' 'I'd f*ck your old lady in the *ss,' Ross replied. Then someone handed Ross a megaphone so he could speak to all of Israel's supporters at the same time. 'Shut your *ss, shut your *ss, you little piece of s**t. You ought to talk s**t, these people around here are having a good f***ing time. They don't come to your stupid redneck church and f***ing talk s**t!' he screamed. His rant ended with him calling someone in Israel's camp a 'p***y motherf***er'. He then pushed through the crowd to confront that person. Some Arlington and Tarrant County residents were disappointed or upset about Ross's behavior at the event. 'This is unfortunate. I am not certain what prompted this altercation. He sounds inebriated,' Arlington resident Kathi Arocha told The Express. Elected Texas Republicans were significantly harsher in their condemnation of Ross. 'This video is beyond shocking. What a disgusting piece of human garbage. Mayor Ross should resign immediately,' said Tarrant County GOP Chairman Bo French. 'The now Mayor of Arlington's vile, profanity-laced rant at the late Ruben Israel, a Christian street preacher, is a disgrace. Perhaps the mayor was stressed out because of not being able to pay his taxes of late, but his unprofessional conduct mirrors the worst of today's cursing Democrats. Leadership demands better,' Tarrant County Republican Precinct Chair TK Campbell added. Campbell was referring to Ross's unpaid taxes, which has led the IRS to garnish his salary. Records from the Tarrant County Tax Assessor-Collector show Ross owes $940.39 in penalties and interest, with a total outstanding debt of $174,945.93 as of June 2025.

Europe stresses Ukraine support ahead of Trump-Putin summit

The path to peace in Ukraine 'cannot be decided without Ukraine', European leaders have said, as US President Donald Trump prepares to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin for talks on Friday. In a joint statement, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, with the leaders of France, Italy, Germany, Poland, Finland and the European Commission, said that the current line of contact between Russia and Ukraine could only be a 'starting point of negotiations'. They said: 'Ukraine has the freedom of choice over its own destiny. Meaningful negotiations can only take place in the context of a ceasefire or reduction of hostilities. 'The path to peace in Ukraine cannot be decided without Ukraine. The path to peace for Ukraine must be determined together with Ukraine – this is fundamental. It is important that joint approaches and a shared vision work toward genuine peace. A consolidated position. Ceasefire. End of occupation. End of war. — Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський (@ZelenskyyUa) August 9, 2025 'We remain committed to the principle that international borders must not be changed by force.' The statement comes a day after Mr Trump announced that he would meet Mr Putin in Alaska on Friday, as he seeks an end to a conflict he had promised he could finish on his first day in office. The US president had earlier suggested that any peace deal was likely to involve 'some swapping of territories', with reports suggesting this could involve Ukraine giving up its Donetsk region. But President Volodymyr Zelensky has already rejected any proposal that would compromise Ukraine's territorial integrity, something that is forbidden by Ukraine's constitution. He said Mr Putin wanted to 'exchange a pause in the war, in the killing, for the legalisation of the occupation of our land – he wants to get territorial spoils for the second time'. Mr Zelensky added: 'We will not allow this second attempt to partition Ukraine. Knowing Russia, where there is a second, there will be a third.' He also said that any peace agreement that excluded Ukraine would be a decision 'against peace'. In their statement, the European leaders said they welcomed Mr Trump's 'work to stop the killing in Ukraine, end the Russian Federation's war of aggression and achieve just and lasting peace and security for Ukraine'. Adding that they were 'ready to support this work diplomatically' and through military and financial support for Kyiv, they reiterated the need for 'robust and credible security guarantees' for Ukraine and their own 'unwavering support' for the country. The statement also comes after Foreign Secretary David Lammy hosted a meeting of top Ukrainian officials and European national security advisers alongside US vice-president JD Vance on Saturday. The meeting took place at the Foreign Secretary's official country retreat, Chevening, in Kent, where Mr Vance is staying at the start of a UK holiday. After the meeting, Mr Lammy said: 'The UK's support for Ukraine remains ironclad as we continue working towards a just and lasting peace.' It is understood that the meeting had been called at Washington's request, and included representatives from the US, Ukraine, France, Germany, Italy, Finland and Poland as well as the UK. Ukraine was represented by Rustem Umerov, secretary of the country's national security and defence council, and the head of Mr Zelensky's office, Andriy Yermak. In a post on social media, Mr Yermak said the allies' positions were 'clear' that 'a reliable, lasting peace is only possible with Ukraine at the negotiating table, with full respect for our sovereignty and without recognising the occupation'. Ahead of the meeting at Chevening, Sir Keir discussed the talks in a call with Mr Zelensky on Saturday, and also spoke to French President Emmanuel Macron.
