Ashley Biden is 27 years old, an adult in her own right – far from dependent minor. She’s had run-ins with the law before, a case where she was charged with obstructing a police officer. She has actively campaigned for her father, and apparently is regarded as a political player. So if she screwed up with cocaine, it is news, and she should be treated as the adult she is.

That being said, there’s zero evidence that the tape is legitimate. Just rumors, that’s all. For that reason, if no other, this story is garbage and deserves to be ignored.
