Biden: What he should say about his son and Ukraine

Until people stop asking about his son, Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden needs to repeat verbatim something like the following every time he’s asked. But he hasn’t been able to put together a statement yet, and the media won’t stop hounding him.

He should say something like this:

“The only thing we need to worry about is if anything illegal was done, or whether there’s any conflict of interest here, and to the best of my knowledge, the answer to both of these is ‘no.’

“Now, was Hunter wise to perhaps use his name to command an overly large salary? You’ll have to talk to him about that. I have a campaign to run.”
