Comedian Bill Maher slammed the media for not covering the scandals involving Hunter Biden, noting that if former President Donald Trump’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., engaged in the same behavior it would be covered constantly.
Maher made the remarks during an interview on MSNBC with Ari Melber while discussing controversies surrounding both the former and current U.S. presidents.
“I don’t understand how they can equate this equivalency between Trump and Biden,” he said. “Do I love everything about Biden? No. But I just don’t understand how they can look at what Trump did — now, does the Hunter Biden scandal stink? It really does. It stinks to the high heavens.”
“That’s real corruption there, that a lot of the Left-wing media will not cover,” he continued. “But it’s nothing like what Trump did. There’s just no equivalency to be — you can say, whataboutism for anything, but… you just can’t tell unlike things apart, if you see that the same way.”

Maher then noted how coverage would be different if Hunter Biden was a Republican.
“But they also shouldn’t cover up what — I mean, if Don Jr. had done the things that Hunter Biden did, it would be every day,” he said. “If they found cocaine in the White House, whose could it be? Who does cocaine around here? We can’t figure it out.”
