Kimmel even tried to pass off the scandal as something cool and subversive. “President Biden has now entered the 'Grandpa doesn't care about you' phase,” he said.
Jimmy Kimmel used his opening monologue to defend Hunter Biden's pardon.
“Yes, Joe Biden did say he had no intention of pardoning Hunter, but to be fair, there's a very good chance he doesn't remember saying that.” Kimmel said in his opening monologue on Monday's broadcast.
He then added: “There's no one to be thankful for this weekend more than Hunter Biden. I'm no presidential historian, but I believe this is the first time a U.S. president has pardoned both his son and his turkey in the same week.”
Kimmel kept the news rolling.
“Mr. Biden issued a statement saying the charges in Mr. Hunter's case were politically motivated and that his son was selectively and unfairly prosecuted.” “In other words, President Biden has entered the 'Grandpa doesn't care about you' phase.”
Kimmel then tried to shift his focus to President-elect Donald Trump. Trump “acted like a bitch on this news,” he said.
CBS late-night host Stephen Colbert followed suit, trying to spin the Biden family scandal into a light-hearted and entertaining story.
In his opening monologue, Colbert said that Joe Biden pardoning his son Hunter was “I don't know if it was the right thing to do, but it certainly gave me a chance to receive a 'World's Greatest Dad' mug.” I put it in,” he said.
As reported by Breitbart News, President Biden has granted a full and complete pardon to the criminal's son Hunter Biden.
