Sam Harris, a philosopher, and the author have revealed some surprising findings concerning Hunter Biden’s laptop incident and Donald Trump’s re-election in 2020.
He said on the Triggernometry podcast:
“Hunter Biden might have had the bodies of children in his basement and I wouldn’t have cared.” There isn’t anything, it’s Hunter Biden, not Joe Biden.”
He went on to say that even if Joe Biden was engaged in an alleged corruption, the amount was “infinitesimal” in comparison to the alleged corruptions in which Trump was involved. Harris continued:
“Whatever the breadth of Joe Biden’s criminality is, we could simply keep going down that rabbit hole and realize that he’s collecting kickbacks from Hunter Biden’s business in Ukraine or anywhere else, right?” Or even China. It pales in comparison to the corruption we know Trump is engaged in.”
Harris further compared the two situations to “the firefly and the sun,” and said that Trump University is “worse” than anything discovered on Hunter Biden’s laptop:
“It doesn’t even come close to Trump University.” On my opinion, Trump University is a much worse scandal than anything in Hunter Biden’s laptop.”
In which, Sam Harris says that it’s ok to conspire against Trump getting elected, because he was the equivalent of an asteroid headed towards earth. Literally literally. Worth watching just for Francis’ reaction at the end. Omg. pic.twitter.com/hVH7IPAx1t

The philosopher went on to say that the banning of Hunder Biden’s New York Post laptop report was a “left-wing plot” to prevent Trump from being re-elected president. He did, however, assert that the action was “warranted,” saying:
“However, it doesn’t address those who argue, ‘It’s still utterly unjust to have not looked at the laptop in a timely manner and to have taken down the New York Post’s Twitter account.'” That is a left-wing plot to deny Donald Trump the presidency.’ It certainly was. But I believe it was justified.”
Harris’ interview quickly went viral on social media, sparking a controversy among netizens.
Twitter responds to Sam Harris’ comments on the Hunter Biden laptop scandal.
Hunter and Joe Biden made news throughout the world when The New York Post published a story including emails from the former’s laptop. The claimed emails showed Joe and Hunter Biden meeting with a CEO from Burisma, a Ukrainian energy business. Following the publishing of the article, The New York Post’s Twitter account was closed for seven days, escalating the debate. Since the occurrence, the subject has been a hotly debated issue on the internet. More recently, Sam Harris’s take on the issue surrounding 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’s comments made little sense, others agreed with his assessment of former US President Donald Trump. As the internet response to his views intensified, Harris moved to Twitter to defend his words. He went on to say that on the podcast, he was debating about the “principle of self-defense.” Sam Harris responded with a series of tweets that explained and defended his remarks.
He also spoke out regarding Hunter Biden’s laptop incident, saying it was a “very difficult call, morally and journalistically.” Sam Harris ended his post by claiming that nothing he said on the podcast meant “that the Democrats would have been justified in committing electoral fraud or using other unlawful actions to deny Trump the presidency.” He also said that he did not believe the Democrats supported such a move.
