Joe Biden Exposes Republican Hypocrisy With Pardon

The Republican outrage over Joe Biden pardoning his son Hunter is hypocritical of a party that has defended anything that Trump does.

The Republican Meltdown Over Hunter Biden’s Pardon

I made a mistake today. I read the front pages of The New York Times and The Washington Post, and they were furious that Joe Biden pardoned his son Hunter before Donald Trump returned to office.

It is possible that The Times and The Post were planning a wall-to-wall coverage of the Hunter Biden trials, or maybe, and this is more likely, their anger was a demonstration of their willingness to echo and appease Trump.

The anger was a reflection of a Republican Party that is losing its mind over the Hunter Biden pardon.

Here is House Oversight Committee chair and Congress’s own Inspector Clouseau, Rep. James Comer (R-KY) on the pardon, "Joe Biden has lied from start to finish about his family’s corrupt influence peddling activities. Not only has he falsely claimed that he never met with his son’s foreign business associates and that his son did nothing wrong, but he also lied when he said he would not pardon Hunter Biden. The charges Hunter faced were just the tip of the iceberg in the blatant corruption that President Biden and the Biden Crime Family have lied about to the American people. It’s unfortunate that, rather than come clean about their decades of wrongdoing, President Biden and his family continue to do everything they can to avoid accountability."

James Comer is still trying to justify wasting taxpayers for nearly two years on an investigation that yielded nothing.

Comer is still trying to make the Biden Crime Family a thing, and if guilt by association is the evidentiary standard, Rep. Comer should be in some trouble due to his shady family business dealings.

Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), another Biden conspiracy pusher, posted, “I’m shocked Pres Biden pardoned his son Hunter bc he said many many times he wouldn’t & I believed him Shame on me.”

Republicans are outraged that Joe Biden would use his pardon power to pardon his son, who was selectively prosecuted, as they stand beside a president-elect who was convicted of dozens of felonies who they claim was selectively prosecuted due to politics.
