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.
I’m pretty sure this was part of their plan. It’s now legit cover for Trump to pardon whoever they want.
Plus yeah, they want to talk smack. It’s not like they have any worthwhile policy ideas.
He already did that during his first term. This has nothing to do with Trump. It also doesn’t fucking matter. If people are mad about Hunter Biden owning a gun and doing cocaine, then why aren’t they mad about Don Jr doing literally exactly the same thing?
I mean there’s something to be said for handing them some ammo.
Dominate a news cycle with some bullshit and do something shady under the table.
