CNN senior political commentator Scott Jennings said Monday that President Joe Biden will be remembered as a “complete and total disgrace” over his decision to pardon his son, Hunter Biden.
Biden issued a formal pardon for his son Sunday evening after the White House assured the American public for months that he would not do so. Jennings argued that this action made the “strongest possible case for [President-elect] Donald Trump” by proving that the president blatantly lied to the American people only to ultimately protect his son in the end.
“Joe Biden is leaving office making the strongest possible case for Donald Trump that anybody could possibly make it and that’s that our government and our justice system is of, by and for the elites and nobody else,” Jennings said. “He ran to vanish Trumpism from our political system in this country and he has left it politically and now institutionally the strongest possible political force in this country. It is a complete and utter failure by the head of the Democratic Party and the President of the United States. Never again do I want to hear ‘oh, Donald Trump’s a liar, you can’t believe anything he says. Donald Trump will abuse his power, Donald Trump will only use the system to benefit himself and his family’ and so on and so forth … We are sitting on the biggest cover-up of who knows what crimes and Joe Biden amazingly knows exactly, roughly when it started.”
“He knows just about when it all started. He’s leaving office in complete and total disgrace, he is a liar and there is no other way to spin this today. This has nothing to do with Trump and everything to do with the character of Joe Biden.”
A jury convicted the president’s son in June on three felony charges related to his purchase of a Colt Cobra revolver in October 2018, alleging he knowingly bought the item while addicted to drugs and made false statements on the purchase form. He also faced nine charges related to his alleged failure to pay at least $1.4 million in taxes and his alleged filing of falsified tax paperwork, all of which Hunter pleaded guilty to.
In his statement announcing the pardoning, Biden said he has always emphasized telling Americans the truth and that he believes the charges against his son “led to a miscarriage of justice.” (RELATED: Trump Floats Possibility Of Pardoning Hunter Biden If Elected)
“For my entire career I have followed a simple principle: just tell the American people the truth. They’ll be fair-minded. Here’s the truth: I believe in the justice system, but as I have wrestled with this, I also believe raw politics has infected this process and it led to a miscarriage of justice — and once I made this decision this weekend, there was no sense in delaying it further. I hope Americans will understand why a father and a President would come to this decision,” Biden said in his statement.
Biden and White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre have repeatedly said the president would not pardon Hunter. The press secretary made these claims during press briefings dating back to as early as July, and even claimed Biden would not ask President-elect Donald Trump to pardon his son in November.
Reminds me of when Ford pardoned Nixon—liberals had a meltdown.
Any WH reporter that had an ounce of integrity would turn their back to KJP when she approaches the podium.
Her blatant lying cannot be forgiven or forgotten.
......CNN senior political commentator Scott Jennings said Monday that President Joe Biden will be remembered as a “complete and total disgrace” over his decision to pardon his son, Hunter Biden......
That is most certainly true!
But when biden pardons his son, he is really pardoning himself!
And his administration has been disgraceful in many other ways as well!
It’s a great clip. when Jennings refers to defenders of the pardon as brain rotted, the woman acts like she’s just been smashed in the face by a pie
If he actually thought that Biden wouldn’t pardon Hunter, he’s a bigger fool than I thought. He probably thought that Kamala would have actually closed the border too if she was elected.
Jimmy Carter is happy today
Historians will probably rank Biden in the Top Ten of all US presidents. They’re like that.
That’s the Biden legacy for you: inflation, invasion, lawfare, and a two-tiered justice system. Not what I’d care to be remembered for, but Crooked Joe doesn’t care.
If Biden had no clue about Hunter’s business dealings, why did the pardon go back to the exact start date of his corrupt business dealings.
He was already there long ago
What’s worse is the highest management of the DOJ/FBI/CIA all conducted propaganda campaigns, and hid evidence of the Biden Family’s financial and sexual crimes.
Biden doesn’t care. Democrats have no shame.
Wait until he pardons himself on his last day
LAST THREE WORDS NOT NEEDED.
Plugs Biden did this on a Sunday night knowing that he would be leaving for Africa and would be gone for a few days. He is hoping that in the few days the outrage will have died down and new things will dominate the headlines.
That’s one of many good questions to ask.
If he’s supposedly pardoned his son for his convictions in these court cases, why is he issuing a blanket pardon going back ten years?
Yup, and we will never hear the end of it.
