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.

    I’m just saying that it scares me that we are all being pushed to the extremes; that I’m worried about what that means for us as a society. I’m also just trying to point out that these kinds of comments could be used against you, especially with someone in charge that has talked about going after his enemies.

      It doesn’t matter if it can be used against an enemy of Trump’s.

      Even if it was never said, Trump will just make something up.

      And if you are worried now… perhaps ypu should have listened to people sounding the alarms about it in 2007. Now, we are just reaching the end of the empire.
