The latest episode in the ongoing Hunter Biden saga has developed into a comedy of errors for the Democrats, with Joe Biden’s much-anticipated pardon of his son revealing the rank hypocrisy that runs rampant within liberal circles. It has become abundantly clear that Biden, despite all his bluster about upholding the law, has taken a sharp left turn into the land of nepotism, proving that when it comes to family, the rules simply don’t apply. Elie Honig from CNN didn’t hold back in calling this act a “historic act of nepotism,” which is about as close to a compliment as a fish getting a high-five.
While the left might have been momentarily distracted by their own delirium over the latest celebrity scandal, they overlooked the glaring contradiction in Biden’s actions. Just months ago, the president stood on his soapbox, insisting there would be no pardon for Hunter. He proclaimed he would abide by the jury’s decision, conveniently ignoring the fact that his son was embroiled in serious charges. Any conservative worth their salt could have seen the writing on the wall; as predictable as the morning sunrise, Biden’s tough talk was nothing but hot air.
CNN's Elie Honig Had the Perfect Line for Hunter Biden's Pardon

In an era where political accountability is tossed aside like last week’s leftovers, Hunter Biden has now dodged substantial legal repercussions that would have sent any regular citizen straight to the slammer. All those wishing for equal justice in America must be chuckling bitterly as they observe Hunter evading what looked like inevitable sentencing for his gun and tax offenses. With the kind of immunity granted by this pardon, a legal loophole wider than the Grand Canyon has suddenly opened up for him. This clemency leaves the justice system looking flatter than a pancake left too long on the griddle.
Historically speaking, the only thing that comes close to this pardon is Gerald Ford’s protection of Richard Nixon, a comparison that must send shivers down the spines of any Democrats still clinging to a facade of moral high ground. The irony of Biden’s predicament is that, with a little honesty and transparency, he could have turned an absolute train wreck into a lesson on the politics of mercy. A simple acknowledgment of differing opinions could have shielded him from the ridicule. Instead, he opted for an obfuscation strategy that would make a used car salesman blush.
As the curtain rises on what will likely be the final act of this administration, Biden’s crescendo of dishonesty and vanity has left him standing amidst the ashes of his own credibility. Instead of cultivating a legacy built around justice and integrity, he has opted to torch it all in a desperate bid to save his son. The end result is not just a family affair but a damning indictment of an administration that often governs as if they aren’t even trying to pretend honor exists in their playbook. Deceit, after all, has become the calling card of this White House, and they continue to play the game as though the American people are too naïve to notice.
