Cooper Asks Biden Why Trump ‘Falsely Accused Your Son Of Doing Something Wrong’

Debate moderator Anderson Cooper asked former vice president Joe Biden why President Donald Trump “falsely” accused Biden’s son of wrongdoing Tuesday.

The CNN anchor said that Trump “falsely” accused Hunter Biden of doing something wrong as part of a question on why it was permissable for Hunter Biden to be involved in foreign businesses.

“President Trump has falsely accused your son of doing something wrong while serving on a company board if Ukraine,” Cooper said to Biden. “I want to point out there’s no evidence of wrongdoing by either one of you.”

My question is, if it’s not okay for a president’s family to be involved in foreign businesses, why was it okay for your son when you were vice-president?”

Biden responded by saying, “My son did nothing wrong. I did nothing wrong.” (RELATED: Hunter Biden Doesn’t Regret Ukrainian Gas Directorship — Blames Trump For Believing ‘Ridiculous Conspiracy’)

I carried out the policy of the United States in rooting out corruption in Ukraine,” Biden said. “That’s what we should be focusing on.”

The former vice president added that what the public should be focusing on is “why it’s so important to remove this man from office.”

What we have to do now is focus on Donald Trump,” Biden said. “He doesn’t want me to be the candidate. He is going after me because he knows if I get the nomination, I will beat him like a drum.”

Biden also said that he never discussed his son’s position on the board of directors of Burisma holdings, a Ukrainian natural gas company. However, with Hunter Biden said only this morning that he and his father had a “brief exchange” about the matter.

“I didn’t have any discussions with my father before or after I joined the board as it related to it, other than that brief exchange that we had,” Hunter Biden told ABC News in an interview released Tuesday .

  1. Biden’s son comes out a wealthy man after traveling around with his father on the government’s dime? Of course he didn’t do anything wrong. Who could possibly think otherwise? sheesh!

  2. Odd, or maybe not since it’s just CNN, that a news spokesperson, would declare anyone not guilty, without having any knowledge of whether they were guilty, or not. Of course Anderson Cooper had the same kind of support under his mother, Gloria Vanderbilt, as Hunter Biden does under his father. So I guess there’s kind of a kinship there.

  3. biden says “I carried out the policy of the United States in rooting out corruption in Ukraine”. Trump has been trying “root out” corruption in DC., for 2 1/2 years. Every time he turns around he hits another brick wall. If you look up corruption in the dictionary, there will be a picture of the democrapers. It’s their middle name.

  4. Yeah ’cause in the real world parents and children don’t talk. Especially in a family where the Oedipus relationship with Hunter’s sister-in-law had to be addressed. Nothin’ to see here folks, move along, move along…and don’t even get me started on how Cooper’s question was framed, carrying water much? I’m so outraged I can hardly form a post!!!!!

  5. What was Trump “falsely” accusing the Biden’s of? Nothing more than what has been published in various media outlets and books about the subject of the “Crony Capitalism” that the aristocracy engage in to increase their wealth.
    It’s amazing to watch our congress try to frame this president for doing what “Quid Pro Joe” actually did to the Ukraine and then bragged about it a the CFR function, which somehow made it to You Tube so everyone could see it. Trump is trying to expose the corruption in our government and mentioned the investigations that the Ukrainian government is involved with in uncovering the same.
    Biden is just the tip of the iceberg though, and if the complete scope of the investigations are known, the democrats involvement in various schemes in Ukraine will come to light. They’ve got to stop this president at all costs or he will expose them all.
