Joe Biden Tries To Justify Hunter Pardon By Peddling More Lies
Margot Cleveland
On Sunday, President Joe Biden granted his son Hunter a “full and unconditional pardon.” For someone who’s covered the Biden family corruption scandal since the censorship-industrial complex falsely portrayed Hunter’s laptop from hell as Russian disinformation, my reactions are several and sundry.
Joe Biden Is a Lying LiarFirst up was imbibing in the hilarity of Joe Biden, once again, proving he lies with as much ease as he has in insulting Republicans.
In June, the president repeatedly vowed not to pardon his son, including during a joint news conference with the president of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy. As the time, the elder Biden stated: “I’m not gonna do anything. I said I abide by the jury — decision. I will do that. And I will not pardon him.”
President Biden’s “no pardon” position remained firm as recently as last month, when the issue arose during a press conference. “We’ve been asked that question multiple times and our answer stands — which is no,” White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters in early November.
Republicans ridiculed Biden’s claim, leading longtime legacy reporter John Harwood to denigrate the realists, writing on X, “people who insist Biden will pardon Hunter after specifically ruling it out are telling on themselves they can’t imagine someone acting on principle and keeping his word.”
No, Mr. Harwood, we just can’t imagine Joe Biden acting on principle and keeping his word.
