Hunter Biden, son of Vice President Joe Biden, has been kicked out of the US Navy Reserve.
The son of Vice President Joe Biden says he is “embarrassed” after being discharged from the Navy Reserve earlier this year — reportedly after testing positive for cocaine.
The Wall Street Journal, citing people familiar with the matter, reported Thursday that Hunter Biden’s short-lived military career ended because he failed a drug test after reporting to his unit in 2013. According to the Wall Street Journal, the Navy discharged him in February of this year.
Biden said in a statement to Fox News that he respects the Navy’s decision but did not specify why he was discharged.
“It was the honor of my life to serve in the U.S. Navy, and I deeply regret and am embarrassed that my actions led to my administrative discharge,” he said. “I respect the Navy’s decision. With the love and support of my family, I’m moving forward.”
The 44-year-old was given a commission as an ensign in the Navy Reserve in 2013. He was kicked out earlier this year, yet the story is just now getting into the media. Was it covered up?
Drug use seems to run in Joe Biden’s family, though the media have never made as much of that as they attempted to make of everything that the Bush daughters did or didn’t do.
