On Thursday's broadcast of NewsNation's “The Hill,” U.S. Rep. James Clyburn (D-S.C.) said, “If he didn't have a relationship with the president of the United States, he wouldn't have been convicted. “There will be,” he said, defending Hunter Biden's pardon. Whereas the gun that was “taken away” from him was “thrown away.”
Clyburn told Biden: “We all know that, given his relationship with you as the President of the United States, who has been the subject of many unwarranted falsehoods, he has never been this distant in this system.'' I wouldn't have gone that far,” he said. And even more [Sen. Michael Bennet (D-CO) and Rep. Greg Stanton (D-AZ)]who I respect and respect what you were wearing right now, you know that. If this had been their son, this would never have happened. What was the crime? You filled out a form to get a gun, didn't tell the truth on that form, and the gun you never used was taken away from you and thrown away. And all he did was deny drug use when he filled out the form. It ended up being a felony and getting a conviction, but I don't think it would have happened to anyone else, including the children of the two gentlemen you just interviewed. ”
