President-elect Donald Trump's communications director responded to Biden's decision without directly naming the president or his son.

Summary

President Joe Biden pardoned his son Hunter Biden, prompting strong backlash from Republicans.

GOP lawmakers criticized the move as an abuse of power and an attempt to avoid accountability, with figures like Rep. James Comer and Sen. Chuck Grassley calling it hypocritical and corrupt.

Biden defended the pardon, citing “selective prosecution” and claiming Hunter was unfairly targeted due to their family connection.

Hunter faced convictions for federal gun and tax charges.

    Leftists are fuming too. I guess these politicians are all just dynasties out for themselves. Thanks for nothing, Bye-den.

    Guess we’re losing the next election too… oh yeah, there isn’t one.

      Just the Russian “leftists.”

      The man’s complicit in genocide, I’m not worried about him making sure outright fascists can’t use the courts against his family.

      I just think it’s silly that he thinks that will be enough, he needs to get his ass out of this country before the handover I’ll tell you that.

        Yeah, the teeth-gnashing about this is incredible. This is not even in the top 50 worst pardons in recent history nor in the top 10 worst acts by Joe Biden. Fuck him, he sucks, but this is an irrelevant footnote compared to both his own actions and the actions of other presidents.
