Jordan Klepper Nails Republicans For 'Wild' Hypocrisy On 1 Signature Issue

“Daily Show” correspondent Jordan Klepper didn’t expect one development in the case against Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden, who on Tuesday was found guilty on three counts related to his ownership of a gun in 2018.

“Frankly, I’m shocked,” said Klepper, who is hosting this week. “We’re actually enforcing gun laws in America. Halle-fucking-lujah.”

Republicans generally oppose most gun regulations, which caused Klepper to spot the glaring hypocrisy in the reaction to the verdict.

“What has been wild is watching how eager Republicans have been to hold a gun owner accountable,” he said. “Of course, it’s only because he’s Joe Biden’s son.”

That gave him an idea.

“All we need is for Joe Biden to adopt every single person in America, and we can finally have some responsible gun control in this country,” he said.
