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.

    What do you mean by the presidential pardon thing that Trump invented?

    EDIT: Also it really scares me how freely people discuss murder on Lemmy. Not just from a moral standpoint but also for you. I hope people consider the seriousness of these comments and that these comments can be used against you.

      Literally, no sane person would care if Trump was killed for his crimes against the people of the US, or crimes against the people of the globe.

      War sucks, and people die. He chose to wage war on the working class.
