## Resource

Why Is Everyone Normalizing Hunter Biden Now? Hunter Biden is back in the national conversation through a coordinated-looking run of interviews across left, right, and independent media. This episode examines the pardon that preceded the tour, the recurring booking network and addiction narrative, the questions hosts leave untouched, and why corruption by one political family does not excuse corruption by another.
