Top Democrats React to Biden Pardoning Son: ‘No One Is Above the Law’
Daily Fetched ^ | December 02, 2024 | Jason Walsh

Posted on 12/02/2024 9:22:35 AM PST by Red Badger

Following the news that President Joe Biden pardoned his embattled son, Hunter Biden, despite repeatedly reassuring he would not do so, some Democrats are speaking out against the move.

One Democrat governor and one Democrat member of U.S. Congress voiced anger against the pardon, which covered every crime he committed “or may have committed or taken part in” over an 11 year period.

Far-left Colorado Governor Jared Polis posted on X:

“While as a father I certainly understand President @JoeBiden’s natural desire to help his son by pardoning him, I am disappointed that he put his family ahead of the country.”

“This is a bad precedent that could be abused by later Presidents and will sadly tarnish his reputation,” he continued.

“When you become President, your role is Pater familias of the nation.”

“Hunter brought the legal trouble he faced on himself, and one can sympathize with his struggles while also acknowledging that no one is above the law, not a President and not a President’s son.”

Rep. Greg Stanton (D-AZ) said Biden “got this one wrong.”

“This wasn’t a politically-motivated prosecution,” he said.

“Hunter committed felonies, and was convicted by a jury of his peers.”

President-elect Donald Trump also took aim at Biden following the news.

“Does the Pardon given by Joe to Hunter include the J-6 Hostages, who have now been imprisoned for years?” Trump asked on social media.

“Such an abuse and miscarriage of Justice!”

A Trump spokesperson said that “the failed witch hunts against President Trump have proven that the Democrat-controlled DOJ and other radical prosecutors are guilty of weaponizing the justice system.”

“That system of justice must be fixed and due process must be restored for all Americans, which is exactly what President Trump will do as he returns to the White House with an overwhelming mandate from the American people,” the spokesperson added.

These Democrats better be quiet—or Joe may “forget” to pardon them as well....

Lol.

The last President with a nearly bald scalp was Ford. Like Biden, he had only wisps of hair. Presidents who are nearly bald, like Ford and Biden, give such sweeping pardons.

What does the phrase “No one is above the law” even supposed to mean? It seems that the definition used by the Democrats is pretty flexible, and up to individual interpretation to fit the circumstances.

If the Democrat is clearly and indubitably guilty, and this matter has come before the courts, then of course every courtesy must be extended to the poor victim of these circumstances, and almost certainly, the court would be in the wrong to convict.

But if the person of the incorrect political persuasion should be similarly charged, then no measures that could be brought under the law could ever be too harsh or applied with less than full enthusiasm.

That is why Hunter Biden has walked, and the persons charged under the J6 convictions are still confined to prison.

The phrase “No person is above the law” is a fraud and is not being applied by any measure of honest justice.

So, I saw this floating around X last week ... libs talking about Trump ... saying he could not pardon himself for State crimes, only Federal. Flipping that around to Hunter, this would mean that the States could go after him for the laws he broke in their States.

Funny, Biden would be a total chrome dome except for a bunch of hair transplants in his younger years. That’s why Rush called him
“Plugs” Biden.

Exactly, the rats will feign “disappointment” but it is a crock.

They probably drew straws to see who got to stand against Hunter being pardoned. I’m guessing all of ‘em are up for reelection soon. They also get to provide cover for other democrats and for the corrupt ‘press’ - democrat idiots who believed Biden when he said he wouldn’t pardon Hunter.
