Joe Biden, in a move that has raised eyebrows more than a bobblehead at a bowling alley, has decided to extend a presidential pardon to none other than his son, Hunter Biden, just weeks before exiting the White House. This culprit on parade, who has pleaded guilty to a handful of firearm and tax offenses, now gets a get-out-of-jail-free card, proving that nothing says “justice for all” quite like a pardon from dear old dad.
When he took office, Biden claimed he would maintain a distance from the Justice Department’s decisions. Yet, in a display of selective parental privilege, he has chosen to bend that rule when it comes to Hunter, his son who has more scandals than a reality TV show. The president insists that his son was treated unfairly compared to regular folks who find themselves in similar legal jams. Of course, the only real comparison seems to be that ordinary citizens don’t usually pick their parents based on political power.

The details of Hunter’s legal woes could fill a small library. He faced charges for making false statements when attempting to purchase a firearm—while being a confirmed user of controlled substances—and for evading taxes on over $1.5 million he pocketed from less-than-transparent business dealings overseas. This hardly screams “innocent until proven guilty” to your average American taxpayer, who is left questioning how someone can skate past justice just because they have access to the ultimate wingman: the presidency.
Biden’s inconsistent statements about the likelihood of a pardon only add fuel to the fire. After previously asserting he would respect the decision of the jury, he now stands by his son’s side like a loyal pet at a dog show, ready to swoop in and save the day. One might think the White House is a family-run business with Hunter as the golden child, dodging accountability while raking in cash and causing chaos.
Such a blatant display of nepotism stands in stark contrast to the principles of equality before the law, a concept many Americans hold dear. If this is how justice operates under a Biden administration, it’s no surprise that the American public is slightly less inclined to trust their government. In the end, this spectacle only solidifies the impression that the Biden family believes they are above the law, leaving many to wonder just how many more family affairs will be brushed under the Oval Office rug before it’s all said and done.
