Summary

President Joe Biden pardoned his son Hunter Biden, prompting strong backlash from Republicans.

GOP lawmakers criticized the move as an abuse of power and an attempt to avoid accountability, with figures like Rep. James Comer and Sen. Chuck Grassley calling it hypocritical and corrupt.

Biden defended the pardon, citing “selective prosecution” and claiming Hunter was unfairly targeted due to their family connection.

Hunter faced convictions for federal gun and tax charges.

    Everyone needs to play the same game they do.

    Is it hypocritical, yeah probably, does he have any reason to answer for it? Naw

    Trump just put Kusher in a role … a person he pardoned for … “preparing false tax returns, witness retaliation, and making false statements to the FEC” per his own statement.

    Right.

      People voted this kind of behavior into office, repeatedly. Anyone clutching pearls right now can fuck off.

      I sure as hell wouldn’t want my son at the mercy of Trumps DOJ.

          They’ll absolutely respect them as long as Trump Daddy is still selling them.
