Joe Biden pardoned his son Hunter on federal gun and tax charges. The “full and unconditional” pardon covers offenses Hunter has committed or may have committed or taken part in” over the last 11 years. Eleven years is a very specific and not rounded amount of time. I didn’t know pardons could cover crimes you may have committed. I’m surprised Biden didn’t include the phrase ‘on Earth 1 or any of the Earths in the multiverse.’
Republicans have, unsurprisingly, pounced on the move. Obviously, Republicans are going to criticize, but Biden did make this line of attack particularly available, seeing as how he spent so long saying that he wouldn’t do it because of how much he respects the system.
The problem is the rest of the Democrats made Biden’s pledge to not pardon Hunter the foundation of their defense of America, this grand experiment and Democratic lawmakers used Biden’s promise as a moral example.
The Democrats made this case an example of why Americans should believe in our system. And it’s hard – Democrats have the tougher road of defending our institutions and systems as being flawed but still valuable. Republicans just run on blowing this shit up. But at every turn, Democrats keep getting caught creating a purity test for a system that they can’t seem to pass themselves. —Jon Stewart
