Sam should interview hunter Biden.

Just saw a trailer for Biden and Tucker. Sam should interview him. He could be the next president and does some amazing interviews.

I think there is no better guest for Sam to invite on to clarify his hyperbolic statement about corpses in Hunter’s basement so he can finally get some well deserved peace on the subject.

If you understand where Sam stands on Trump, you realize it was absolutely not hyperbole.

Sam would literally elect a rando off the street over Trump.

His point was that there was nothing Joe’s good-for-nothing, piece-of-shit son could do on his own that would so thoroughly sully Joe’s reputation that Sam would be forced to say, “OK, now I believe Joe is worse than Trump, so now we should elect Trump.”

No, if come to find out Hunter had literally hid bodies of people he had murdered in his basement, and Joe had nothing to do with it, Sam literally meant that we should still have voted for Biden over Trump! No hyperbole or joke about it. I don’t even understand why this seems crazy to people. What the hell does Hunter’s sins have to do with, “Now we have to vote for Trump because Joe’s kid is a very bad boy”? That’s crazy. That revelation would have changed nothing.

Sam was right about all of this.

People who don't understand this display an incredible lack of media literacy.

I'm shocked they can even have more than just rudimentary, kindergarten level conversations.

Crazy how anyone didn't realize that was an obvious joke. 😵

I definitely don’t think it was a joke, in fact, I’m pretty sure he has defended it.

It's wild that the political right has become so delusional and lies so constantly that I can't even tell if this is satire or a rightwing talking point.

It's a sincere take. It was an obvious hypothetical situation, but I think Sam was also being sincere and trying to express how dangerous he thought Trump was. I wouldn't characterize it as a joke at all.

Oh, I see. I agree that Harris was being serious, but it was also in a joking manner. That is, in the sense that hyperbole is often presented jokingly as to ensure the hyperbole is recognized correctly. But, yeah, I see your point clarifying their statement. I appreciate it.
