Well, it looks like President Joe Biden has officially decided to put family loyalty above integrity, accountability, and the promises he made to the American people. On Sunday, Biden issued a sweeping pardon for his son Hunter, covering an astonishing 11 years of alleged and actual criminal activity.
This, of course, comes after months of Biden and his administration flatly denying any such move was on the table. Remember when White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre emphatically said in November, “Our answer stands—no”? Turns out, “no” really means “just kidding.”
The pardon comes at a particularly convenient time—right before Hunter Biden was scheduled for sentencing on tax evasion and gun charges that could have landed him in prison. Those charges include lying on federal firearm forms and owning a gun while actively using drugs, all while conveniently forgetting to pay his taxes. You know, the kinds of crimes that would send any regular American straight to jail without passing Go.
Naturally, Biden tried to frame this as some kind of noble act. He claimed that Hunter was “singled out only because he is my son.” Really? Is that why jurors convicted him in Delaware based on evidence, or why he pleaded guilty to multiple federal charges in California? Apparently, Biden’s definition of “wrongfully singled out” is the same as “caught red-handed.”
Hunter is a serial criminal
The evidence is black & white, found on his own laptop
Which the FBI had for a year before the 2020 election, but they lied and said it was Russian disinfo
Then the Biden admin used serial lawfare against Trump
And now they gaslights us

Enter President-elect Donald Trump, who wasted no time calling out this brazen abuse of power. Trump posed the question everyone’s been asking: “Does the Pardon given by Joe to Hunter include the J-6 Hostages, who have now been imprisoned for years?” It’s a sharp reminder of the double standard at play. While Hunter gets a golden parachute, January 6 defendants, some held in harsh conditions for extended periods without trial, get no such compassion.

Trump’s spokesperson also weighed in, blasting the Biden administration for weaponizing the Department of Justice against political opponents while conveniently shielding their own. It’s a pattern we’ve seen repeatedly under this administration—justice for thee, but not for me.
This pardon sets a dangerous precedent, one that shreds the already fragile trust Americans have in the justice system. If Biden thought this move would quietly sweep Hunter’s troubles under the rug, he’s sorely mistaken. This isn’t just about Hunter; it’s about a president who has openly placed family ties above the oath he swore to the nation.
JUST IN: Joe Walsh turns on Joe Biden after he pardoned Hunter, says he is “deflated” because he spent years saying Trump was the “threat.”
“This pardon is just deflating for those of us who’ve been out there for a few years yelling about what a threat Trump is.”
