Because there is absolutely nothing wrong with the son-in-law of a former President being given $2 billion with no strings attached for "real estate development", despite having absolutely no experience at all in the field and even the Saudi government realizing it's batshit stupid. This is perfectly normal and happens all the time.
It's obvious we really need to look at the actions that family members of Joe Biden took while Biden was ~~president~~ a private citizen, because he may have talked to a family member who may have received a couple of thousand dollars from a Chinese company back in 1958 or something. Because if Biden knew someone who knew someone who did business with someone who looks Asian (i mean really, aren't they all the same anyway), then he definitely needs to be impeached, deported, and sent to Gitmo. ~~___~~
Nah that'll take too long. Look, Joey down at the shop put a bunch of child pr0n on this laptop, we're gonna just say it's Hunter Biden's and call all the news stations. Hee Heee!! It's foolproof!
Why go through the effort though?
Just say "laptop", "Hunter Biden", "Child pr0n", and "Biden Crime Family" enough times and the laws of word association will ensure that eventually a few people will believe it. You don't even need actual evidence, it's all about the feelz!
Well because they’re not really good at it.
