One prominent Dem got it on Hunter Biden’s indefensible pardon — but how many others will pass the test? The president “put his family ahead of the country,” thundered Colo.Gov.
Jared Polis on X.“Hunter brought the legal trouble he faced on himself, and one can sympathize with his struggles while also acknowledging that no one is above the law.”Sure, Polis is bolstering his appeal ahead of a likely 2028 presidential run. But Hunter’s nigh-unprecedented pardon, which insulates him from anything he might have done since 2014, is a major IQ test for Dems.One that the party’s elite seems set to fail big time. Witness White House flack Karine Jean-Pierre’s sad contortions today in front of the press as she tried to justify Joe’s lawlessness, blaming “war politics” — whatever that means.
How can Biden claim the Department of Justice is above politics then say the prosecution is political?Look: Hunter’s a rich-kid serial screwup who sold his father’s name for big bucks while smoking crack, cavorting with hookers and committing gun crimes.All while documenting his shady doings. When his dirty deeds came to light thanks to yet another screwup (leaving his laptop at a repair shop), the party’s response mimicked Camp Biden’s. It’s Russian disinformation.It’s no big deal.
Joe never personally benefited. And on and on and on. There was never any need for people like Rep.Dan Goldman and AOC to twist themselves into pretzels defending him.Except fear that full exposure for Hunter meant exposure for Joe’s own suspected crookedness. So Dems went to the mattresses for the Scranton Scuzzball.And he paid them back by utterly, humiliatingly failing them and helping hand the presidency to Donald Trump and the Senate to the GOP. Not least because voters were sick of Biden-style corruption and incompetence. The big question: Why on Earth is any big-name Dem still standing by him?There’s zero political gain in it anymore.
