Colorado Governor Jared Polis (D-CO) blasted President Biden’s decision to pardon his son Hunter Biden in an X post over the weekend. Polis says it sets a “bad precedent.”
From Polis’ X post:
While as a father I certainly understand President @JoeBiden’s natural desire to help his son by pardoning him, I am disappointed that he put his family ahead of the country. This is a bad precedent that could be abused by later Presidents and will sadly tarnish his reputation. When you become President, your role is Pater familias of the nation. Hunter brought the legal trouble he faced on himself, and one can sympathize with his struggles while also acknowledging that no one is above the law, not a President and not a President’s son.
