He promised he wouldn’t do it. He swore up and down that it would never happen.
But then again, he also said that Trump was Hitler, Americans were garbage, and MAGA was an existential threat to democracy. (Also, he’s “sharp as a tack.”)
Another day, another Biden lie: It was announced on Sunday evening that President Biden would go back on his word and issue a full, unconditional pardon to his idiot kid, Hunter Biden. In his words:
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.
But that’s not what Joe Biden told us before.
“With regards to the question regarding my family,” President Biden said in June, “I’m extremely proud of my son, Hunter. He has overcome an addiction. He has. He’s one of the brightest, most decent men I know. And I am satisfied that I’m not going to do anything. I said, I said I’d abide by the jury decision. I will do that, and I will not pardon him.” [emphasis added]
In fact, President Biden piously told ABC’s David Muir (who proved his own impartiality two months later in that ridiculous three-on-one ABC News presidential “debate”) that the Democrats’ acceptance of America’s unassailable, apolitical legal system is what differentiates him from the scary Orange Monster: Democrats believe in the rule of law. Republicans don’t.
“[Trump]’s trying to undermine it,” Biden declared. “He got a fair trial. The jury spoke.”
Throughout 2024, the message was consistent: Absolutely no pardon for Hunter Biden. Not now, not ever. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre repeatedly told the media, “I’ve been very clear; the president is not going to pardon his son.”
Even after Hunter Biden was convicted — but before the election in November — the president was steadfast: “I will accept the outcome of this case and will continue to respect the juridical process as Hunter considers an appeal.”
And not just Joe Biden: “Doctor” Jill Biden said it, too. “Joe and I both respect the judicial system, and that’s the bottom line.”
Hellbound and Down 
But who will pardon FJB?
