Jon Stewart Thinks Biden Could Have Timed That Pardon Better
Hypocrisy Isn’t Illegal #
As Thanksgiving weekend drew to a close, President Biden issued a full and unconditional pardon for his son, Hunter, despite having repeatedly pledged not to do so. This decision became the focal point of late-night discussions on Monday.
Critics questioned the timing of the controversial pardon, likening it to a discreet purchase made among other transactions. It was suggested that the thanksgiving period may have been strategically chosen to announce the pardon amid a flurry of unrelated activities.
Observers noted, “He’s an 82-year-old man — he doesn’t want to spend the rest of his life visiting his son in prison.” The decision highlights a familial bond that transcends earlier political promises.
The response from political commentators varied, with some expressing understanding and others pointing out perceived inconsistencies. “Hypocrisy isn’t illegal, nor is it particularly unusual in politics. It’s not like he’s ever going to run again, so why not take care of your kid, even if you said you weren’t going to?”
Meanwhile, humor was found in the situation with remarks such as, “Yeah, it was a big shopping weekend, and millions of people got great deals, but nobody got a better deal than Hunter Biden.”
As the holiday period concluded, this presidential action appears to signal an era where personal priorities may overshadow public commitments.
