Rep. Daniel Goldman (D.Y.) spoke in his own words Monday during an interview on CNN after the network aired footage of the New York Democrat claiming President Joe Biden will not pardon his son Hunter Biden. I decided to say it.
host Brianna Kaylor pointed out that Goldman said in 2023 that he made the old remarks on ABC's “This Week” after Biden's plea deal with the federal government fell through.

“Mr. Biden said there would be no pardons, and yet you had the audacity to support him,” Keillor said.
