7. He's not a "politician" and never ran for office (although he served in various government positions under Clinton)

His brother Beau was Attorney General of DE (which is an elective office) before he passed away, so if he were still here, he could bring up "politics". But Hunter didn't go that route, instead operating on the periphery as a lobbyist as one of his early occupations. His younger half-sister Ashley didn't really go into politics either but has been involved in political activism.

That's been one of the big ridiculous RW spins here - they kept trying to tie him with "politics" as if he served in his father's administration as some kind of advisor (like Jarvanka), despite his main focus being "business".
