    Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel attacked Hunter Biden on Tuesday for using his family connections ― only to get called out by Twitter users for the exact same thing.

    McDaniel is the niece of former presidential nominee and current Utah Sen. Mitt Romney, but didn’t mention that minor detail in a tweet attacking the son of former vice president and current presidential candidate Joe Biden.

    This is just funny... I cannot improve on some of the twitter responses this twit got, so just read away.

    OK... here's my favorite..

    upload_2019-10-15_20-3-25.png

    It's either a basic lack of education or complete lack of awareness.... I cannot decide which, not having met most of the people in the Republican party...

    Nepotism makes the world go around.... says a current unnamed female Advisor to the President, equally unqualified as the people mentioned in this thread...

    I still say the RNC has a much better argument attacking Biden for being old and gaffey... This Hunter thing just looks deranged....

    Thoughts?

    Hard topic this. Has anyone consulted with Don Jr, Ivanka or Jarrod on proper boundaries here? They may be the right guys to ask.

    See that is an example of the phony baloney politicians who point fingers at the other guy but forget to shield their own asses.

    You do gloss over the fact that she is holding an elected position. It's not like she was fresh out of rehab and kicked out of the service for cocaine like Hunter. You dims didn't seem to think that being part of the same family when untalented Hildabeast was elected senator.

    She is not a Senator, not a Congresswoman, not even a state senator, not a member of a state house of reps, not even an elected mayor.
    She is a political operative. Not an elected official.

    By the way what does the acronym "DIM" stand for? Just curious?

    We don’t care until hypocrites run their mouth. What’s next? Jeb and W complaining about nepotism? Liz Cheney?

    She was elected to her position on the national committee. Yes it is not a national election but it is not a appointment. She had to run for the open chair. Was anyone else running? Do not know.

    Dim is my quick way of saying Democrat. I have noticed many liberal posters have cute ways they say Republican. So this is mine. Just like many posters here refuse to simple write Trump I know try to never write real names for dims and make up my own cute names. Yes it is childish, but when they started it so there.

    I didn't read the whole thing, but I don't trust the Romneys. Especially Mittens. He is scum. The apple probably doesn't fall far from the tree.

    You do realize that Jeb and W had to run for those positions. Win the primary then win the election. The Hunter fiasco is far different. This is about a person using the influence of his father for business reasons. If Hunter wanted to run for office and was elected I could not care less.

    Elected by name recognition and donors who know their dad. No different.

    Bush II was called W. President Eisenhower was called Ike. There were campaign buttons with "I like Ike" pasted on them. Carter was called the Peanut man.

    I believe that this childish game as you call it started with those who did not want to call the Democratic Party the Democratic Party so they started saying "the Democrat" Party.

    W have no problem with. The use of dim in this post was not in response to you. It is simply what I have been doing for last week or so.

    Another amazing glimpse into hopeless confusion reigning in liberal heads

    The libs can't figure out the difference between legitimate election results and nepotism...

    and in the same breath they confuse uber-rich millionaires (billionaires) like the Trump family going into politics to make America great with the scum going into politics to become uber-rich by selling America piece-meal to Chinese communists and Ukrainian oligarchs, never mind domestic special interests, like the Bidens did, the Clintons did, the Elijah Cummings and many others did

    You do realize that in an election a whole bunch of people have to vote for you and believe that you are competent to hold that office. If Hunter was not a Biden he would simple be an alcoholic who was kicked out of the military for cocaine, and had no knowledge of how that particular company operates to make money. Truly why would you put him on this board?

    Mitt Romney might be the last best opportunity to save what's left of the Republican party..

    I generally oppose that concept, but I'd respect him for trying to save what it used to be...

    Man, this love/hate relationship lefties have with Mittens is a daily soap opera.

    Not sure who you are referring to? I don't think of ton of the man myself, but by current Republican standards, he walks on water...

    He had no chance in 2012, but he seems to be about the best of that sorry lot today, at least in the Senate...

    To be chairwoman or chairman of a political party -- can you think of a worse job that that?

    Other than working sidewalk shet patrol.

    The Republicans are not complaining about nepotism, we are asking for an investigation on whether are not VP sleepy used his political position to garner favors for his son. Can we not agree that politicians should not be allowed to let family members get paid by companys that get favorable legislation passed by presidents and Congress. To be clear this is not just a dimocrap thing, Republicans also do this. We should find them one by one and hold them accountable. So we start with this one. Do we look into this and hold them accountable or do we as Americans say this is just business as usual and look away from here on out?

    Romney is Democrat in Republican clothing. Don't be fooled. Democrats always point at rinos to justify their own actions.

    Once again this is not about nepotism. Simple question is ok with a politician to vote on legislation one way to garner a payoff for a family member? The only one who is having an "outburst " is you. I do realize that both sides do this stuff. And feel we need to put a stop to this. Do you not agree with that?
