Hunter Biden

And I would compare myself to you.

And I would think, I'm never going to live up to that.

And then something in your life happens, like...

they completely dehumanize you through, you know, I mean, by the way, imagine if I was a woman, imagine if I was Ivanka Trump, and I know that sounds really, but just say they released one, you know, nude selfie of, how crazy would people fucking go about the violation of privacy that is?

How insane would they go?

Rightfully so.

But I was the crack addict degenerate son of the former vice president of the United States, and I was fair game in the world.

And I had a decision that I had to make, is when I would think, I would become obsessed with the idea, like, how do I ever earn your respect again?

And then I realized,

And I don't know whether I, like, it was like a... There was no, like, lightbulb moment.

It wasn't like being struck by lightning.

But just, gradually, I just realized, like, every day that I got out of bed, and I put one foot in front of the other, and I sat down, and I painted, and I shared what I made in my creation with the people around me, and then a wider group of people,

And then pick up the phone and call somebody else that was sick and suffering and would try to be of service to somebody that was looking for a way out.

And just as long as I was true to myself and try to make amends with the people that I needed to make amends with, as long as I fucking did that, I could get to the next day.

I don't know if I'm explaining it in any way that makes sense, but they completely deconstructed me.

And that humiliation and dehumanization, which was a full-time, 24-7 campaign that was directly coordinated, you know, right from the president.

I mean, the whole Where's Hunter thing.

I mean, you don't know what kind of havoc that wreaked in my life, man.

When he started to say, where's Hunter, in front of 70,000, 50,000, 30,000, whatever crowd side he made up in his head, and they aired it on every single cable channel and played it over and over again on Fox News, surprise, surprise, people showed up at my fucking house with bullhorns in the middle of the night and followed us.

I don't mean security.
