Hunter Biden didn't hold back while discussing Senator Ted Cruz during a recent podcast appearance.
The former first son made a series of eyebrow-raising comments about the Texas Republican, speculating about his private life and reviving one of Cruz's most infamous social media controversies.
'Really, Really Kinky'
Ted Cruz became one of Hunter Biden's top picks for MAGA figures whose laptops he'd like to see.
During a July 18 appearance on progressive pundit Jennifer Welch's "I've Had It" podcast, Welch asked Biden which three MAGA figures he would most like to see have their laptops exposed.
After naming Senator Josh Hawley as his top choice, Biden quickly selected Cruz as his second pick.
"Ted Cruz, of course," Biden said. "100 percent."
Welch then asked whether Biden got a "gaydar ping" from the Texas lawmaker.
"No, you know what I get, I get a really, really kinky weird s--- type thing," Biden replied.
He continued speculating about Cruz's personal life, suggesting the senator's interests were difficult to define.
"It may be gay, it may not be gay, it may be a little bit of this, it may be a little bit of that, but it may involve animals, too," Biden said.
Hunter Biden made the remarks while appearing on Jennifer Welch's 'I've Had It' podcast.
Viral Social Media Mishap
Jennifer Welch also brought up Ted Cruz's infamous 2017 social media controversy.
Welch also referenced Cruz's widely discussed 2017 social media controversy, when the senator's verified X account briefly liked a pornographic video featuring adult film actress Cory Chase on September 11, 2017.
At the time, Cruz blamed the incident on a staff member who had access to the account.
Chase later joked she was more disappointed he had watched her content "for free."
"Everyone knows Ted did it on 9/11!" Welch quipped during the episode.
