WEX Wakeup: Republicans react to Hunter Biden indictments & UAW announces historic auto strike

#wexwakeup for Friday, September 15☕☀️

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) questioned whether it was coincidental that U.S. Attorney David Weiss indicted Hunter Biden just two days after Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) announced an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden. On Thursday, Weiss brought an indictment against Hunter over allegations he unlawfully owned a gun. The indictment follows McCarthy announcing the impeachment inquiry on Tuesday, saying, "House Republicans have uncovered serious and credible allegations into President Biden's actions. Taken together, these allegations paint a picture of corruption."

The country’s largest auto union is officially on strike as of midnight Friday morning, after negotiations with the Big Three automakers came up short, with three locations set to strike. “This is our generation’s defining moment,” United Auto Workers President Shawn Fain said at a press conference Thursday night. “The world is watching.”

President Joe Biden delivered a speech on "Bidenomics" at Prince George's Community College on Thursday. Biden's economic speech came shortly after his son, Hunter Biden, was indicted by a grand jury over allegations he unlawfully owned a gun while addicted to drugs. But instead of commenting on his son's legal troubles, the president chose to go after Republicans for their economic policies.
