Ignoring congressional ethics probe, US President Joe Biden’s scandalous son Hunter Biden was spotted by journalists at his SoHo art exhibition where his so-called paintings are carrying a hefty price tag, while identity of buyers who spent millions of dollars in buying Hunter’s “artwork” are kept secret. It is anticipated that these so-called paintings of one of the many ways of bribing the Biden Family.
According to Fox News, Hunter Biden, who recently launched his art career, is selling so-called paintings with prices going into the six-figures at his exhibition at the Georges Bergès Art Gallery in the Big Apple.
The gallery told Fox News Digital that the prices at the public exhibition go between US$65,000 and US$200,000, depending on the piece and the exhibition.
Biden was seen viewing art with his family at the New York City gallery.
Hunter’s exhibition debuted last year in the SoHo neighborhood gallery.
The president’s son is facing down a GOP congressional ethics probe into his international business dealings. The investigation is expected to heat up once Republicans take control of the House in early 2023.
After it became clear that the Republicans won the House majority following the midterm election in November, Republican lawmakers led by Oversight and Reform Committee ranking member James Comer announced that they would prioritize their investigation into the president’s son.
“The American people deserve transparency and accountability about the Biden family’s influence peddling”, Comer said during a press conference on November 17. “With the new Republican majority, Oversight Committee Republicans will continue pressing for answers to inform legislative solutions to prevent this abuse of power”.
Committee Republicans also released an accompanying interim report detailing President Biden’s connection to his son’s business dealings and activity abroad. The report highlighted the possibility that the Biden family may be “susceptible to influence, blackmail or extortion by foreign entities”.
The first son’s artwork has been decried as overpriced by art experts, who have indicated that buyers will be paying for the Biden last name rather than the art itself.
Former President Obama’s ethics chief Walter Shaub ripped into the first son’s art venture last year during an appearance on Law & Crime’s “Objections” podcast.
“There is simply no way an artist who has never even juried into a community center art fair is going to suddenly show up in New York selling art for half a million a pop”, Shaub said. “Let’s talk about the magnitude of this. . . . That’s US$6.5 million going to the president’s son for being the president’s son, not for being an artist, and I just think that’s absolutely appalling”.
While Shaub called Hunter Biden a “sympathetic character”, he said that “some of his problems are of his own making”, specifically pointing to his repeated attempts of building his career around “being Joe Biden’s son”.
“If he were a patriot — if he cared about this country — he would not want to tarnish his father’s reputation that way. Now, we can’t fault him for not being a patriot. We can’t fault him for not caring enough about his father’s legacy to avoid this”, Shaub continued. “That’s a personal failing, and he doesn’t technically owe us anything, because he’s a citizen and not a government official, but then the White House crossed the line, and they got involved in this deal, and the art seller was theoretically always planning to keep the names secret, but the White House intervened to ask him to keep the names secret”.
He later expressed his disgust about the White House “getting involved” with the art sale agreement, saying that it’s the “public’s problem” now.
The art industry is also rife with money laundering and fraud, and with the buyers remaining confidential, it is possible some buyers may be trying to curry favor with the first family.
Hundreds of people are commenting on this matter on social media and news sites. Here are few of those comments:
Brian: If you buy a Jackson Pollock, you are buying house paint thrown on a canvas. Yes, you are buying the name. That is how art works. (His most expensive went for $300 million).
Sally Belmont: So, a private citizen is selling overpriced paintings? And this is, what? Please, investigate Banksy.
Ringo: Are these people kidding? Making money off something then selling it for a higher price because of who you are related to is the American way. Hunter Biden is not breaking any laws and no one is being forced to buy his paintings. If the price is too high, then why are they selling? If the art is no good, then why are people buying them? I don’t see the problem here. I thought we all cared about capitalism and freedom. Maybe some on the right only care about freedom and capitalism for themselves. The right is full of traitors, Nazis and racists, and this is a sad way to try and change the subject. Attacking a political rival’s son? Really?
Michael: I’m a painter. So, if Hunter’s paintings are worth $200,000 dollars, then mine are worth a few hundred million. If anyone buy’s his paintings, it’s because of his name and not for his artistic ability. And if it’s for that reason, then they better remember that the Biden’s are under investigation and that they’ll be out of office very, very soon. Then there goes the value of those paintings, because no one will be buying them.
Mitch: Buy a painting and meet my Dad! You too can call him the Big Guy.
Wendy: We have all seen the video evidence of Quid-pro-quo Joe extorting Ukraine into firing the prosecutor who was investigating Hunter and nothing happened to Joe. Hunter’s incriminating laptop has been in DOJ hands for so long now and nothing has happened to Hunter. The Ds control the DOJ. Do you really think they are going to let anyone prosecute Joe or Hunter?
Sandra: The actual truth is that these are bribes. You want access to the president? Go pay an outrageous amount for one of his finger paintings. Every single transaction should be public in the most extreme way.
Ralph: Remember, Hunter is in charge of giving out political favors. Which is worth way more than $200,000.
Sophia: They must be the ones the cartels didn’t even want. They give their $500,000.00 each, then use the paintings for target practice. As long as they keep buying paintings, the border will stay open.
Ron: “Art” is the absolute easiest way to hide money that you don’t want either found, or taxed.
