Just a bit from that story for Richard.
At one point, Mr Biden brought up his late son Beau, a military veteran who died at the age of 46 in 2015. The President treated it as an opportunity to attack his opponent’s other son Hunter, who is one of his favourite punching bags.
“Are you talking Hunter? Are you talking about Hunter?” Mr Trump interjected.
“I’m talking about my son Beau,” Mr Biden told him.
“I don’t know Beau. I know Hunter. Hunter got thrown out of the military. He was thrown out, dishonourably discharged for cocaine use,” said Mr Trump.
“That’s not true, he was not dishonourably discharged,” said Mr Biden.
“My son, like a lot of people at home, had a drug problem. He’s overtaken it. He’s fixed it. He’s worked on it. And I’m proud of him. I’m proud of my son.”
Set aside the President’s incredibly casual disregard for Beau Biden’s death.
In what universe could anyone think it acceptable to go after a candidate’s son, on a presidential debate stage, for his drug addiction? How could that possibly be relevant to the decision American voters have to make?Mr Trump’s son, Donald Jr, went on air with conservative commentator Glenn Beck today and called Mr Biden’s son “crackhead Hunter”. Just in case you didn’t get his father’s point.
