The White House press secretary recently found herself fumbling with questions about the potential pardon of Hunter Biden, which feels like the political equivalent of walking into a bear den wearing honey-covered socks. When pressed about whether President Biden might instruct Vice President Kamala Harris to do the honors if she wins in November, Karine Jean-Pierre responded with a classic non-answer that only a seasoned political spinner could muster.
Hunter Biden, the man who’s become the face of privilege mixed with scandal, recently got hit by a jury for three gun violations. While many would argue that he should be enjoying the same justice that a regular American would face, it appears the Biden family might still be assessing the art of the possible when it comes to pardons. Somehow, the allure of a candidate pledging to “follow the science” seems to evaporate when discussions of justice for the influential come into play.
Karine Jean-Pierre Refuses to Say if Joe Biden Will Demand Harris Pardon Son Hunter: ‘That’s a Hypothetical’

When a reporter brought up the previous assurance that Biden wouldn’t extend clemency to his wayward son, Jean-Pierre blew it off as mere speculation—a classic diversion tactic from an administration that seems to thrive on hypothetical situations. The idea that Biden might later reconsider, especially if Harris were to take the helm, brought nary a bead of sweat to her brow. Her lack of direct response confirmed what many have suspected about this administration: when it comes to the Biden family, the rules are different.
This manufactured ambiguity shines brighter considering Hunter’s impending sentencing. He faces nearly a quarter-century behind bars as he navigates his legal quagmire. However, if, by some miracle, Kamala Harris manages to snag the presidency, those pesky gun charges may just magically disappear in a puff of political smoke. The image of a sitting veep commuting her predecessor’s son’s sentence is a rather inconvenient truth that this White House seems to avoid at all costs.
Even as the administration tiptoes around such questions, the public is left scratching its head, wondering if this is what transparency looks like. With Hunter’s sentencing looming just after the elections and a judge has handed down a firm year-long sentence to another gun law violator recently, one can’t help but feel that justice might be another political game for the Bidens. One thing is for certain: the only ones who seem to walk away unscathed from this scandal fest are the ones with the family name of Biden.
