Donald Trump Junior says political pundits who have gone mum since reports of Hunter Biden using the N-word in conversations with his lawyer would be apoplectic if they involved his family.

The Republican, whose famous father was the subject of a Viceland show titled “The Hunt for the Trump Tapes with Tom Arnold” involving rumors of racial epithets, questioned why news organizations are “100% Silent on This.”

“Try to imagine one of the Trump kids dropping the n-word,” he tweeted Tuesday while sharing a related interview with Breitbart. “Real quote from Hunter: ’n—a you better not be charging me Hennessy rates.’ #RacistHunter”

“The bottom line is the left is not intellectually honest about racism,” he told the website. “They use it when they can for political gain, and when it serves no purpose it’s totally ignored.”

At issue is a Dec. 13, 2018, text exchange between Mr. Biden and attorney George Mesires on the former’s infamously abandoned laptop.

“How much money do I owe you,” the text reads. “Because n—a you better not be charging me Hennessy rates.”

A January 2019 exchange also involves President Joe Biden’s son, a recovering drug addict, telling the lawyer, “I only love you because you’re black” and “true dat, n—.”

“If Eric or I Used N-Word Like Hunter Biden, Corporate Media Would ’Lose Their Damn Minds’ former President Trump’s son added Wednesday.

Neither Mr. Mesires nor Mr. Biden responded to requests for comment from the Post or Daily Mail, which broke the N-word story.
