Washington Post columnist abruptly ends interview when questioned about Hunter Biden story.
A Washington Post Columnist Gets Heated During Podcast Interview
A columnist for The Washington Post found himself in a tense exchange during a recent podcast appearance. Philip Bump, who has written extensively about Hunter Biden, was repeatedly questioned about evidence of corruption within the Biden family.
The host, Noam Dworman, pressed Bump about a text message from Hunter Biden to his adult daughter, in which he mentioned giving 50% of his income to “Pop.” Bump responded, “I have no idea what that means. It’s circumstantial evidence and you prefer that to direct evidence.”
As the line of questioning continued, Bump grew increasingly agitated and eventually decided to end the interview. “I don’t know and I don’t know what to make of it, so I have nothing to say about it,” Bump stated. Dworman countered, “But there is a text message where he says, ‘I give Pop 50% of my money.’ That’s evidence.”
After some back-and-forth, Bump reluctantly acknowledged, “Okay. Okay, fine. It’s evidence.” He then thanked Dworman for having him on the podcast and left the conversation.
The tense exchange was captured on video and shared on social media, sparking further discussion about the handling of differing opinions by The Washington Post.
