ESPN commentator Stephen A. Smith criticized President Joe Biden's decision to pardon his son Hunter on the eve of leaving the White House.
President Biden announced in a statement Sunday that he will pardon his son Hunter Biden, saying he was “wrongfully prosecuted” on federal firearms possession and tax evasion charges. Hunter was scheduled to be sentenced on Dec. 12 on the first charge and Dec. 16 on the second charge.
“I believe in the justice system, but as I have worked on this issue, I also believe that raw politics has infected this process, which led to the failure of the trial. Once we made the decision, there was no point in postponing it further. I hope the American people understand why my father and our president are making this decision,” Biden said. said.
On Monday night, Stephen A. Smith said on his show that the president is “full of it.”
“With all due respect, the President of the United States, you're full of that, especially when it comes to that statement,” he said. “I'm going to be here, over the national airwaves, looking the president of the United States in the face and saying, 'You've had your fill.'”
Smith said he understands Biden's reasons for pardoning as a father and theorizes that Trump would have done the same, but instead of just supporting his son, he took issue with Biden's long-winded excuses. chanted.
“I said a few weeks ago that he should be fired. That's right. He's your son, a recovering addict, and he's been battling his demons for years.” Mr. Smith said. “And the fact that you let your son go, I totally understand. Donald Trump would have let his son go. Anyone, at least most people would. I get that. That's a problem. Not, sir.
“The problem, and the reason I say you're full of it, is because of your excuses. The simple statement, 'That's my son.' I have the power to forgive him, the power to grant pardon, anything. That's what I'm doing. Everyone kicks stones. That would have been enough for me. That's your son. It is your son, your flesh and blood. It's your child. And as you pointed out, he has battled many demons. He's been through a lot. Understood. But what else did you say about him? ”
Smith also criticized Biden for waiting until after the election to issue a pardon after months of demanding legal action against Trump.
“You didn't talk about this at the time. In fact, you specifically said before the election that you would not pardon your son… Donald Trump was sworn in as the 47th president Now that you know what you're going to do, you've announced it. You've been meaning to do it all along, which is fine, too. But that doesn't make you feel any less full.”
“Because if you look at Donald Trump and how the Democrats went after him, you can see that the Democrats are no longer in a position to say anything. They can talk until the cows come home. Whistle into the wind. You blowing. No one wants to hear you right now. I'm not talking about you. I'm talking about your party,” he continued.
Smith concluded that Biden had harmed the American people by backtracking on his original words that he would not forgive his son.
“Because there’s no way you would forgive your son when everyone knows you’re lying and your grandma won’t hold you accountable.” “Because it would be going back to what we said to the American people,” he said. . “And now you've confirmed what people believed you were probably lying about, which you said you wouldn't do to your son. All you had to do was say, ' All I had to say was, “He is my son.'' I can't let him go to jail. “What's wrong with everyone?'' ”
