President Biden decided to take advantage of his position over the weekend, and it’s got an uproar going:
GOP lawmakers began publicly fuming shortly after President Joe Biden announced that he was pardoning his son Hunter Biden.
President-elect Donald Trump’s communications director, Steven Cheung, reacted to the announcement without naming the president or his son.
“The failed witch hunts against President Trump have proven that the Democrat-controlled DOJ and other radical prosecutors are guilty of weaponizing the justice system,” Cheung said in a statement. [NBC News]
Really, the only reason that last paragraph made it in is so I can say Poor guy, Cheung has to continually push lies as part of his job. Can he not find a dignified post?
But, in general, there is a valid point in the Republicans’ groaning and moaning, as President Biden did say he wasn’t going to pardon his son.
Notably, this was before Trump won the election and began to nominate history’s worst American Cabinet, all because his fragile ego can’t take the battering from actually competent folks. I suspect the President didn’t feel it safe for his son to be in jail during Trump’s tenure.
But, more in line with Mr Trump’s history, I suggest President Biden release a statement:
The former President set a very high bar for being corrupt in his last term, and, as I come to the end of my term, I wish only to match it.
Which will remind everyone where the pus-filled corruption is located on the Republican side of things.
