Chris Rock took the stage on NBC’s Saturday Night Live and decided to unload some comedic truth bombs about President Joe Biden, particularly on the infamous pardon of his son Hunter. As if America wasn’t already inundated with political absurdity, Rock dashed any hopes of escape by likening the president’s act to a big, fat middle finger directed at the country. Apparently, Joe Biden may not move or talk as briskly as he once did, but some gestures remain remarkably intact.
The comedian did not hold back, poking fun at Biden’s blatant attempt to rescue Hunter from recent legal woes, which include everything from gun charges to tax evasion. The timing was rich, especially since just days before the pardon was issued, the White House had insisted that Biden wouldn’t go down that road. It appears the president’s words have a shelf life shorter than a particularly unappealing milk carton. Rock’s performance highlighted a glaring disconnect between Biden’s promises and his actions, and the audience seemed to be fully on board with the comedian’s take on this absurdity.
In a surprising twist, Rock did offer a nod to now-President Donald Trump, who allegedly had a good year despite facing considerable scrutiny and even a supposed assassination attempt. Rock reminiscenced that Trump survived and bounced back—much to the dismay of the left. It is hard not to notice how Rock’s humor grabs hold of fundamental truths about the political climate. Not only did Trump supposedly rise from the political ashes, but he also managed to secure a win that many would argue should have gone his way in the first place. Rock’s jab here served as a clever reminder that the resilience of Trump continues to baffle his critics.

The situation with Hunter Biden and his father’s preemptive pardon has not gone over well with a significant portion of the American populace. A recent poll revealed dismal approval ratings for Biden’s choice to absolve his son, with only two out of ten Americans giving it a thumbs up. This move has drawn fire even from within Democratic ranks, signaling that not everyone in the party is on board with the Biden family’s controversial choices. Watching this unfold is like witnessing a never-ending soap opera that rivals the most dramatic episodes on television.
As Biden continues to navigate his term with questionable decisions, even Hollywood seems to be waking up to the nonsense. Rock’s monologue is just one more example of how the narrative surrounding the Biden administration is being scrutinized, poked, and prodded for its inherent oddities. The contrast between Biden and Trump remains stark, and it seems the comedy circuit is more than willing to spotlight the absurdities that define their paths, illustrating just how bizarre the political landscape has become in America.
