MSNBC host Simone Sanders Townsend said Tuesday on “Morning Joe” that President Joe Biden “followed all the rules” in pardoning his son Hunter to protect him from President-elect Donald Trump. said.
“People may have forgotten that the 118th Congress began an impeachment inquiry against President Biden,” Sanders-Townsend said. In our nation's recent history, only five presidents before Biden have had impeachment investigations initiated. ”
She continued, “This investigation is so baseless that the Oversight Committee said in the only hearing it had on this matter that its own witnesses were not there. So… Knowing all this, Joe Biden has made a promise to the next president's administration to go after his son. Do we actually believe that he was going to make it happen? Joe Biden leaves the stage, which means he could come back and run for president. It's not like a certain Donald Trump situation, he's done. Joe Biden played by all the rules that people told him he had to follow. He did everything that was very good for Joe Biden and for Hunter, I say this week. Sorry guys. This is very unfortunate for the people in the communications shop. I know what it's like to be a PR person, but it's like, oh well.”
Sanders Townsend added, “The house is literally on fire and you're all still looking for your keys. I'm going to hold America's hand when I say this: Donald Trump is about to become president. But the Supreme Court says he's basically a king with an asterisk, so tell me what's going on here.''
