Pete Buttigieg Deftly Shuts Down Fox News’ Hunter Biden Smear

The Biden surrogate seemed to be having blast as he reminded the Fox hosts about Trump’s ties to China.

In his latest bubble-popping Fox News appearance, Pete Buttigieg expertly swatted away the futile attempt by co-anchors Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum to accuse Vice President Joe Biden of any wrongdoing related to his son Hunter.

“If they want to make this about business deals of a government official, let’s talk about the president of the United States having a secret Chinese bank account,” the Biden surrogate said, referring to a recent New York Times report. “That’s not like something somebody said that used to work with somebody related to the president in a email. That’s a matter of documented fact! And they won’t even tell us what bank it is.”

“Does that bother Americans?” Buttigieg asked. “I’m pretty sure it bothers Americans a lot more than what they’re trying to whip up for the last 12 days of this election season.”
