It happened. It was almost as predictable as Saquon Barkley having a monster year for the Philadelphia Eagles: Outgoing President Joe Biden decided to pardon his son, Hunter. The crack-cocaine-addicted influence peddler was given a massive blanket pardon—he is now forgiven of any crime he committed between 2014 and 2024.
About that pardon: It’s a blanket. Biden pardoned Hunter for offenses “he has committed or may have committed or taken part in during the period from January 1, 2014 through December 1, 2024.”

MORE: The sweeping language of the Hunter pardon mirrors the pardon Ford gave to Nixon — but Biden’s covers twice as long of a period.

Two things happened with this pardon: Democrats can’t talk about gun control anymore, and this is a classic example of what happens when one side tries to seize on and monopolize a moral superiority. No American voter expects their leaders or elected officials to be ethical leaders. They understand they’ll likely end up as corrupt snakes. Still, it’s the cover-up and, in this instance, the blatant attempt to shove this pardon in our faces despite Hunter’s many crimes that are remarkable but also unsurprising.

CNN’s Jessica Dean — whose husband worked for the Clintons — fawns over President Biden pardoning son Hunter, noting “we don’t have to remind people how close knight” the Biden “family is and that Hunter is only surviving son that they are, of course, course, very, very close.” pic.twitter.com/FyvvbRy9Sj

Now, a horde of liberal commentators and reporters must eat crow after they slobbered over Biden’s initial declaration that he wouldn’t pardon his son. It’s the moral high ground, the nauseating self-righteousness that infests every liberal. Former CNN reporter John Harwood had a hall of fame-worthy take, followed by Mr. Biden himself. What ever happened to “no one is above the law?” That’s self-explanatory. Nate Silver’s take on this development was pithy but accurate—it’s the dealings of a selfish and senile old man:
June 13, 2024
BIDEN: “I’m extremely proud of my son, Hunter. He has overcome an addiction. He has. He’s one of the brightest, most decent men I know. And I am satisfied that I’m not going to do anything. I said, I said, I’d abide by the jury decision. I will do that and I will…

Hunter Biden has been convicted on all three federal felony gun charges. I know one thing for sure: President Biden isn’t going to pardon him or commute his sentence. Because President Biden believes no one is above the law, not even a president or a president’s son.

When MAGA cultists complain about a “weaponized justice system,” remind them that President Biden has refused to show favoritism towards his son because he has a commitment to the rule of law and our judicial system, regardless of who is involved.https://t.co/uDXcsOjYXf

Joe Biden has issued an unconditional pardon for Hunter Biden, covering any crime committed since 2014.
Zero surprise that these Biden/KJP denials were lies.

Now that Hunter is pardoned maybe the media can honestly report on all of his crimes.

Biden isn’t some moral beacon—he never was. Sorry, liberals, but Biden is just like everyone else in Washington, except dumber and more dementia-ridden.
