Joe Biden's Son Hunter Kicked Out of Navy for Cocaine
10/17/2014


Vice President Joe Biden's son was booted from the Navy Reserve because he tested positive for drugs, it was revealed on Thursday.

A U.S. official told NBC News that Hunter Biden was kicked out of the Reserve earlier this year after he failed a drug test.

The official said Biden failed the test in 2013, but he was not kicked out until Feb. 14 of this year. Senior U.S. officials told NBC News that Biden, 44, tested positive for cocaine. The Wall Street Journal first reported the incident.

According to one official, Biden’s dismissal from the Naval Reserves was not made public "because he was treated like any other sailor who fails a drug test and is thrown out of the Navy." The official said the services do not routinely report such cases.

Hunter Biden, who is married with three kids, issued a statement Thursday evening through his lawyer, saying: "It was the honor of my life to serve in the US Navy, and I deeply regret and am embarrassed that my actions led to my administrative discharge. I respect the Navy's decision. With the love and support of my family, I'm moving forward."

Makes you wonder how many other sons and daughters of politicians do drugs but you just don't know about it since they haven't failed a random drug test yet. I don't see why it is a big deal; it's not like he was driving while impaired and killed someone.
 
You get to do drugs and don't have to go fight some unjustified war on the other side of the world. Sweet deal.

A lot probably do. Look at Al Gore's son who got arrested years ago.

I really like how he worded the part about him being embarrassed that what he did (oh the horror!) was treated with such (irrational?) severity, regardless of whether it was meant to come across in this manner.

No idea who the hell you are Mr. Biden, but well said indeed, 'cause fuck those booze sucking hypocrites, that's why!
