Hunter Biden ignited a firestorm of criticism after launching a profanity-laced tirade against President Donald Trump’s immigration policies in a controversial appearance on Channel 5 with Andrew Callaghan. The explosive remarks have drawn sharp rebuke from both the White House and conservative critics, reigniting national debate over border security and political accountability.
In the web series interview, Biden — son of President Joe Biden — dismissed concerns about illegal immigration, calling out critics with explicit language.
“F— you. How do you think your hotel room gets cleaned? How do you think you got food on your f—ing table?” he said. “Who do you think does your f—ing garden? … They figured out a way to get here because they thought they could give their family a better chance.”
The comments, echoing sentiments previously criticized when voiced by other Democrats, immediately drew fire — including from within the Biden administration.
White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson blasted Hunter’s statements, saying, “A CBP agent was just shot in the face by two criminal illegal aliens that Joe Biden let into the country, but Hunter is more concerned about who is going to clean up his hotel room after his benders.”
“This sort of callous, self-interested maliciousness from the entire Biden Crime Family is exactly why Joe Biden left office with record-low approval ratings,” Jackson told Fox News Digital.
Hunter Biden, who has faced ongoing scrutiny over foreign business dealings and recent felony convictions, also took aim at Trump and El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele, labeling both “dictators.” He described El Salvador’s anti-gang prison — used by U.S. immigration authorities for deported criminals — as a “f—ing concentration camp,” drawing outrage from critics who called the comparison offensive and inflammatory.
The backlash highlights the sensitivity surrounding immigration policy. Department of Homeland Security officials quickly countered Biden’s remarks with a reminder of recent tragedies linked to illegal immigration.
“Under Biden’s reckless open-border policies, terrorists, gang members, murderers, and child pedophiles were released into American communities,” said DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. “These policies had real consequences. Young Americans like Laken Riley and Jocelyn Nungaray lost their lives because of illegal aliens who should never have been in this country.”
McLaughlin referenced a recent incident in which an off-duty Customs and Border Protection officer was nearly killed by two undocumented immigrants released under the Biden administration. “President Trump and Secretary Noem will never abandon these victims or their families,” she added.
The administration has reportedly begun stepping up enforcement. ICE operations have intensified in sanctuary cities, and DHS has implemented new incentives for voluntary deportation — including $1,000 payouts and free travel for eligible individuals.
Democrats, meanwhile, have long faced criticism for tone-deaf immigration defenses. Past comments from public figures like Kelly Osbourne and Rep. Nancy Pelosi — suggesting immigrant labor is essential for domestic service and agriculture — have been condemned for perpetuating stereotypes and ignoring legitimate security concerns.
Hunter Biden’s remarks may have reopened those wounds at a politically precarious time. His podcast appearance came just months after President Biden issued a controversial blanket pardon for his son, who had been convicted in two federal cases for tax fraud and illegal firearm possession.
Despite attempts to shift attention back to policy, critics insist Hunter Biden’s latest outburst reveals deeper contradictions within the Democratic Party’s stance on border control.
“This isn’t just about foul language,” one senior GOP aide said. “It’s about priorities — and Americans deserve leaders who put their safety first.”
As immigration remains a key issue in the 2026 election cycle, the fallout from Hunter Biden’s comments could have lasting political consequences for a White House already facing internal dissent and waning public trust.
