THE LEFT HOOK with Wajahat Ali - Please Spare Me All Hypocritical Outrage Over Hunter Biden's Pardon

The same movement that supports and celebrates a criminal, vulgarian insurrectionist who pardons his criminal friends now feigns outrage. Here's me playing the world's smallest violin.

Dec 01, 2024



Predictably, President Joe Biden pardoned his son Hunter Biden who was scheduled to be sentenced later this month for his trumped-up conviction on federal gun charges. He also was set to be sentenced on tax evasion charges. The only thing remotely surprising or controversial about this decision is that initially President Biden said he would not interfere with the criminal justice system. Both Republicans and Democrats have used political pardons in the past to help their friends and family members fail up in life.

I mean, we just have to look at Donald Trump. This man is a convicted criminal who incited a violent insurrection, stole and kept confidential documents, tried to interfere in our elections, was held liable for sexual assault and defamation, and committed fraud through his business organization, university, and charity.

Trump voters don’t care.

This is a man who pardoned his co-conspirators, including some of the vile, unrepentant individuals, such as Steve Bannon, Mike Flynn, Roger Stone, and Paul Manafort.

Trump voters don’t care.

This is a man who pardoned war criminal Eddie Gallagher, who murdered a detained prisoner of war and was criticized and condemned by his SEALs and described as “freaking evil.”

Trump voters don’t care.

Trump has given cabinet positions to criminals he has pardoned, including his son-in-law’s father, Charles Kushner, who was just appointed as Ambassador to France despite having no qualifications.

Trump voters don’t care.

Republican leaders follow their leader. Texas Governor Greg Abbott, who is chomping on the bit to run for President once Trump kicks the bucket, recently pardoned Daniel Perry, who murdered a BLM protestor and was convicted by a jury of his peers. Trump voters don’t care. Missouri Governor Mike Parsons pardoned the McCloskeys, who illegally aimed guns at peaceful BLM protestors.

Again, Trump voters don’t care.

2. Let's not forget what has happened "SINCE"

Biden said he would not grant a pardon.

Since then, we heard absurdities like, Kamala Harris ‘happened to turn Black’.

Since then, he said Haitians were "eating the dogs" with no proof for a week or more, and when repeatedly told the story is false he kept telling it.

Since then there was supposedly a video of him in a helicopter going in a for hard landing where he said he was talking with Willie Brown about his Kamala affair, except it was Gov Jerry Brown in the copter. Where’s that video/audio?

Since then, trump goes on the TV stage and gives the whole wide world watching TV a demonstration of how to perform oral sex with a microphone.

And if all of that wasn't bad enough, Since then, Putin paraded trump’s porn actress wife naked on Russian TV further belittling the trump and the U.S. in the world’s eyes as Putin’s bitch. Classy.

So, after seeing all that transpire over the past few months it changed Joe's mind imo. It only seems logical to protect your last surviving son from a clearly retribution oriented psycho asshole and his fascist maga revenge assassins with the pardon. End of story.
