First lady Jill Biden has slammed the Republican Party’s unyielding attacks on her and President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, as having a negative effect on the younger Mr Biden’s children and the rest of the Biden family, calling the incessant rhetoric directed at her son “cruel”.

Dr Biden defended her son, a Yale-educated attorney and former lobbyist turned visual artist who has struggled with substance abuse disorder for decades, during an interview with MSNBC host Mika Brzezinski which aired Thursday on Morning Joe.

“I think what they are doing to Hunter is cruel, and I'm really proud of how Hunter has rebuilt his life after addiction,” she said after Brzezinski asked how she and Mr Biden have been coping with the targeting of Hunter, who is President Biden’s only surviving son from his first marriage.

Continuing, Dr Biden said she loves her son and said it is “hard” to see him under attack. She added that the GOP targeting of Hunter has also had a negative effect on his children — her and President Biden’s grandchildren.

“It's hurt my grandchildren. And that's what I'm so concerned about that — it's affecting their lives as well,” she said.
