President Biden decided to pardon his son, Hunter Biden, on all federal gun charges over the weekend and CNN senior political commentator Scott Jennings did not hold back his feelings about Joe Biden, saying he will be remembered as a “complete and total disgrace.”
The formal pardon for his son Hunter was issued on Sunday evening after the White House and all main stream media outlets repeatedly said that a pardon for Hunter was not going to happen. Scott Jennings argued that Biden pardoning his son will only prove President-elect Trump’s case that Joe Biden continuously lied to the American public to further the interests of the Biden family.
“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,” Scott Jennings said during a CNN segment. “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.”
Hunter Biden had previously pleaded guilty to falsified tax paperwork and failure to pay at least $1.4 million in back taxes. A jury has convicted the president’s son on three felony gun charges which President Biden waived away with a pardon.
In an attempt to justify his actions, President Biden believed the charges against Hunter “led to a miscarriage of justice.”
“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 a statement trying to justify his actions.
Both President Biden and White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre for months have sternly said that a pardon would not be issued, but it’s clear, the Biden family syndicate comes first.
