Why is it a smear job? He should’ve embraced it as a positive.
sure my sons been making money off the system. Legally. That’s called smart. But you need to elect me because only I know the way to reform the system.[/quote]
Clever idea but i think that generally only works with taxes.
Funny thing is Trump used that angle and it worked with his base. (He didn’t even bother to include the part about reforming the system!)
Most of the “outrage” I see about Biden’s son is based on the claim that he was on the board of a company in an industry where he had no experience.
I think many Americans don’t understand that for someone with and Ivy League law degree and a relation to someone in a powerful position, is a pretty common to get a cushy board position. There are many examples of generic smart connected people sitting on boards in industries where they have no specific background. I have a friend with a Harvard Law degree that immediately after school got a C-level position in a financial industry where he had zero experience. The big degrees carry a lot of weight in these circles. As for the family connections, one doesn’t even need daddy to get you the job, they will come to you because of your name.
Biden’s situation isn’t unusual at all. At worst it’s very mild and quite ordinary nepotism.
