Philosopher and author Sam Harris has made some surprising revelations regarding Hunter Biden’s laptop incident and Donald Trump’s 2020 re-election.
He said on the Triggernometry podcast:
“Hunter Biden might have had children’s bodies in his basement and I wouldn’t care.” It’s okay, it’s Hunter Biden, not Joe Biden.”
He said that even if Joe Biden was involved in the alleged corruption, the amount was “infinitely small” compared to the alleged corruption Trump was involved in. Harris continued:
“Whatever the extent of Joe Biden’s criminality, we could just keep going down that rabbit hole and figure out that he’s collecting bribes from Hunter Biden’s business in the Ukraine or wherever, right?” Or even China. It pales in comparison to the corruption we know Trump is involved in.”
Harris went on to compare the two situations to a “firefly and the sun” and said Trump University was “worse” than anything discovered on Hunter Biden’s laptop:
“It’s nowhere near Trump University.” In my opinion, Trump University is a far worse scandal than anything on Hunter Biden’s laptop.”

The philosopher went on to say that the New York Post’s ban on Hunder Biden’s laptop report was a “left-wing conspiracy” to prevent Trump from being re-elected president. He, however, claimed that the action was “justified”, saying:
“However, it doesn’t address those who claim, ‘It’s still grossly unfair that we didn’t look at the laptop in time and take down the New York Post Twitter account.'” It’s a left-wing conspiracy to deny Donald Trump the presidency.’ It certainly was. But I believe it was justified.”
Harris’ interview quickly went viral on social media, sparking controversy among netizens.
Twitter Responds to Sam Harris’ Comments on Hunter Biden’s Laptop Scandal
Hunter and Joe Biden made global headlines when The New York Post published a story involving emails from the former’s laptop. Emails that claim Joe and Hunter Biden met with the CEO of Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company. Following the publication of the article, The New York Post’s Twitter account was shut down for seven days, escalating the debate. Since this happened, the topic has been hotly debated on the internet. Recently, Sam Harris’ stance on the issue of Donald Trump’s re-election in 2020 reignited the debate on social media. Several individuals flocked to Twitter to express their thoughts on Harris’ interview.
While some argued that Sam Harris’ comments made no sense, others agreed with his assessment of former US President Donald Trump. As the internet backlash against his views intensified, Harris took to Twitter to defend his words. He said he discussed the “principle of self-defense” in the podcast. Harris himself responded with a series of tweets explaining and defending his remarks.
He also spoke about the Hunter Biden laptop incident, saying it was a “very tough call, morally and journalistically.” Harris himself ended his post by saying that nothing he said on the podcast meant “that Democrats would rightly commit election fraud or use other illegal actions to deny Trump the presidency.” He also said he doesn’t believe Democrats support such a move.
