Hunter Biden defends Graham Platner 'Show me your phone'

from Today Explained · host Today Explained

Hunter Biden used the "show me your phone" defense to argue that politicians are judged too harshly for their private lives, explicitly coming to the defense of embattled Maine Democratic Senate nominee Graham Platner. Speaking on California Governor Gavin Newsom’s podcast, "This Is Gavin Newsom," Biden asserted that if everyone's private digital history were laid bare, few people would be left qualified to hold public office."I always say to people... Give me access to your iCloud. Let's go through it and pull everything that we can that is... [inappropriate]... And if that's the standard by which we are going to judge people... then I don't think we're going to have many people in elected office."Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/today-explained--6659607/support.Don’t miss our latest episodes! follow us to stay updates with fresh news everyday.
