19 favourite reactions to Emily Maitlis’s hilarious Hunter Biden ‘possession of a fireman whilst on drugs’ typo
In a history-making development, Hunter Biden has become the first offspring of a sitting US president to be convicted of a felony, after being found guilty of lyng on the forms required to buy a gun.

It’s huge news, with potential repercussions for Joe Biden‘s re-election chances, as well as for Hunter Biden, who could be sentenced to as much as 25 years in prison – although a much more lenient sentence is likely for a first offence.
The internet weighed in.
If you think it’s “unfair” for us to call convicted felon Donald Trump a convicted felon, but fair for you to use the conviction of Hunter Biden to imply that Joe Biden is somehow “guilty” too, congratulations, you are an idiot, an asshole & you’re in a fucking cult.
A dumb one.

Hunter Biden has been struggling to get and stay clean for years.
It’s a story millions of American families understand.
He’s been found guilty, and he will pay the price.
Trump has been found guilty and has shown zero remorse or regret, and will never reform or improve.

Notice what you don’t see outside of the courthouse after Hunter Biden was found guilty on all three charges in his gun case:
-Nobody is crying or melting down.
-Nobody is screaming and threatening the prosecutor.
-Nobody is calling the trial “rigged.”pic.twitter.com/fMzhzLGuTi

Impressive that Trump broke campaign finance laws (in a country where almost all campaign finance is allowed) and Hunter Biden broke gun ownership laws (in a country where almost anyone can own a gun)

In the UK, Emily Maitlis shared the verdict. Or, at least, she tried to share it.
Of course, it was close – but no cigar.
Not a fireman . A fire arm. https://t.co/ML97kkOPPm
