Embattled First Son Hunter Biden was excoriated by social media users on Wednesday after he showed up to his court appearance in a six-car, taxpayer-funded motorcade.
From The New York Post:
The first son’s appearance was intended to cement a controversial plea arrangement for misdemeanor tax violations and a felony firearm charge.
That went awry following a dispute between prosecutors and defense attorneys over the possibility of future charges for Hunter — including potential unregistered foreign lobbying.
But the elaborate security detail accompanying the 53-year-old triggered Twitter grousing over taxpayers footing the bill for the convoy.

Reactions on social media were harsh as many Americans were upset they were funding this clown show.
Hunter Biden seriously has a motorcade? Is that normal or do they just help transport his coke?https://t.co/SYPZ94LLAx

Tax payers just funded Hunter Biden’s motorcade arrival to his court appearance where he’s expected to admitted he didn’t pay his taxes.
The DOJ just spit in your face and told you it was raining. https://t.co/CNH1ywNO4Q

Why Hunter Biden's taxpayer paid for secret service motorcade only proves a father's love for his son. https://t.co/zhL8U3dXT5

Remember, Hunter Biden is a "private citizen" … who keeps appointments in a six-car, taxpayer-funded motorcade, and his criminal enterprise has nothing to do with his corrupt father whose name he used to extort shakedown payments from foreign oligarchs. https://t.co/5R14rk4qp7

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre refused to speak about Hunter, calling him a “private citizen.”
“Hunter Biden is a private citizen and this was a personal matter for him. As we have said, the president, the first lady, they love their son, and they support him as he continues to rebuild his life,” she said. “This case was handled independently — as all of you know — by the Justice Department under the leadership of a prosecutor appointed by the former president, President Trump.”
