On Friday's “PBS NewsHour,” washington post Jonathan Capehart, associate editor and MSNBC host, defended President Joe Biden's pardon of his son Hunter, saying, “When the president said he would not pardon his son, he would not grant clemency, the facts on the ground were completely unfounded.'' It was different. He was a presidential candidate, but he didn't want to be seen as a nuisance. He was no longer a candidate.
Capehart said, “Well, one thing is, yes, it was justified. When the president said he would not pardon his son, he would not grant clemency, the facts on the ground were completely different.'' He was a presidential candidate, but he didn't want to be seen as a nuisance. He's no longer his vice president. [was] presidential candidate. I'm almost certain — 99% sure that President Biden expects Vice President Harris to win that it won't matter. But the person who won the election, through a campaign of retribution, revenge, naming the Biden family in general and Hunter Biden in particular, or in his case, the group of people he wants to go after. So, when you win the campaign, you win the election, of course the president looks at the facts and says, [says]I can't let that happen to my son. ”
He added, “I understand the criticism and abuse that the president is receiving, but the fact that some Democrats are unhappy about how you subverted norms and gave him a path.'' may not have been paying attention to what kind of person Donald Trump is during the campaign or during his first four years as president. ?And these are the same people who would have been yelling at Biden if Biden had done nothing and then-President Trump had taken action against Hunter Biden, why didn't you save your son?? ?When you were president, why didn't you help your son when you had the chance?He did it.''
