This Washington Examiner piece notes that Biden was an enormous hypocrite in the 80s - as were all politicians in the 80s, and also, the 90s, 00s, 10s, and will be next decade.

But in the 80s, Biden was a huge drug warrior, actually helped write some of the harshest drug war legislation; including the legislation to appoint a drug csar, increase mandatory minimum sentences, and to treat crack more harshly than powder cocaine... legislation which, in the long run, wound up actually starting the modern idea of justice reform!

But, in 1988, the first year Biden ran for President, Hunter Biden was arrested for drugs and, through a program, had his record expunged.
