New York Post columnist Miranda Devine joined 'America's Newsroom' to discuss why she believes President Biden decided to pardon his son Hunter and why it could extend to the entire Biden family before he leaves office.
We always knew Joe Biden would pardon his troubled son Hunter, no matter how many times he promised he wouldn’t.
So, it is fitting that one of the final acts of this mendacious president before leaving office was to break yet another promise to the American people.
Thus, on Sunday night, the president issued a statement from the White House declaring that he had just signed a "Full and Unconditional Pardon" for Robert Hunter Biden, 54.
BIDEN PARDONS SON HUNTER BIDEN AHEAD OF EXIT FROM WHITE HOUSE
The pardon Joe vowed he would never give comes just days before Hunter was due to be sentenced over a felony gun conviction in Delaware in June and California felony tax fraud charges in September to which he pleaded guilty on the first day of trial.
Joe claims that Hunter was "selectively, and unfairly, prosecuted. It is clear that Hunter was treated differently … singled out only because he is my son."
In an amusing twist, the president explained away all his lies to the American people by lying about his lying: "For my entire career I have followed a simple principle: just tell the American people the truth."
Blatant about-face
Joe told reporters in June after Hunter was convicted of felony gun charges in Delaware that he definitely would not pardon his son.
"I said I abide by the jury decision," he said at the G7 summit in Italy. "I will do that. And I will not pardon him."
When a reporter asked, "Do you plan on commuting your son’s sentence?," Joe, 82, said, "No."
With a truthful president, that would be the end of it, but with the fabulist, plagiarist Pinocchio currently in that job, it meant little.
The same for the repeated assurances of the perennial know-nothing Karine Jean-Pierre from the White House podium that no pardon would be forthcoming.
