Progressives ~~Fear~~know Schumer Will ‘Cave’ Again in Budget Fight

Abused his power?

Yes, I would say that pardoning your own son as president is a conflict of interest, unethical, and an abuse of power. It demonstrates that Hunter is above the laws that Joe Biden helped architect. I'm surprised that this sentiment is so controversial.

I'm specifically talking about the silly framing of "a child" rather than "his child"

  1. Biden sponsored the crime bill that put those people behind bars in the first place.

  2. Biden abused his powers to pardon his son for crimes that other people will remain in prison for. Crimes that are more severely punished because of Biden.

Its actually quite relevant to the conversation

I think pardoning a child for a dumb drug offence is fine. 🤷‍♂️

His son is hardly a child at 54 years old. Biden is also responsible for thousands of people behind bars because of "a dumb drug offense".

I don't think that Trump should be the bar for morality and ethics in this country. It's lazy to bring him into this conversation.
