Did AOC show up in a town named "Barron, Delaware" to bail out Hunter Biden with a $250.000 bond related to an arrest for narcotics and disorderly conduct charges? No, that's not true: The story originated in a meme from a satirical Facebook page that originally carried a disclaimer. The owner of the page is known for tricking conservatives into liking and sharing made-up content.
The original image appeared in a Facebook post (archived here) where it was published on August 21, 2025 with a caption that read:
Were they in a relationship? Was she doing a favor for "The Big Guy?"
No matter what way you look at it, something's not right here.
This is what the image in the post looked like on Facebook at the time of writing:

The text in the image read:
According to local police records in Barron Delaware, AOC was listed as the guarantor for a $250,000 bond for Hunter Biden
Biden had been arrested for possession of narcotics and disorderly conduct
AOC showed up at 3 am, bailed him out, then made the charges go away.
As seen in the screenshot above, the shared image showed a logo of "America's Last Line of Defense" in the middle that reads, "Nothing on this page is real."
A search on Google Maps also brings up no results for a town named "Barron" in Delaware.
On November 24, 2025 the same image but with the logo removed appeared on the X account John McAfee News @mcafeenew (archived here) which is based in Eastern Europe according to its about page (archived here).

The homepage of the America's Last Line of Defense Facebook account (archived here) mentions it is the "home of the Dunning-Kruger Times" and clearly states, "The flagship of the ALLOD network of trollery and propaganda for cash. Nothing on this page is real," as this screenshot shows:

The page says it is run by "Busta Troll," which is the nickname of Christopher Blair.
Christopher Blair is a self-professed liberal from Maine who, for years, has run networks of websites set up to troll conservatives with made-up news items in order to get them to share his posts. A 2018 BBC profile called Blair "the Godfather of fake news," describing him as "one of the world's most prolific writers of disinformation."
The account is part of a network of satire websites and those pages display satire disclaimers and predominantly publish made-up stories with headlines specifically created to trigger Republicans, conservatives and evangelical Christians into angrily sharing or commenting on the story on Facebook without actually reading the full article, exposing them to mockery and ridicule by fans of the sites and pages.
Blair's stories have been widely copied by spammy, foreign website networks seeking to profit by spamming American conservatives with clickbait headlines.
The name of the town in the meme was probably inspired by Joe Barron, a friend of Christoper Blair who passed away. His name is frequently used in Blair's satirical stories as a form of homage.
