In response to Quddus Snyder’s (“Q”) Oct. 28 letter, one could conclude that he is suffering from a severe case of narcissism and hubris.

Forget about all of the verified documentation that has come to light on the Biden Family Empire for now.
How is it that a 47-year career politician has become a millionaire and have several hi-end properties on a public official's salary?
Just sayin'.
