Biden’s pardon of Hunter leaves questions unanswered
By Straight Arrow News
President Biden’s sweeping pardon of his son, Hunter Biden, has sparked controversy and debate among Americans across the political spectrum. While a father’s pardon of his only living son might be the humane thing to do, as The Economist notes, Biden’s pardon is also unusually broad in its scope, and it could set “a dangerous precedent” for future abuses of the pardoning power.
Some critics argued that no presidential pardon has been this broad since President Ford’s famous pardoning of President Nixon. Biden, for his part, asked Americans to understand “why a father and a president” would make the same decision, and has argued that the pardon was necessitated by what he perceives as a political witch hunt against his son.
Watch the above video as Straight Arrow News contributor Ben Weingarten argues against the president’s pardon and says that it leaves vital questions unanswered, and that inquiries and investigations should continue.
