MSNBC analyst Claire McCaskill bemoaned President Biden pardoning his son Hunter after pledging not to because it gives the opposition “some really powerful ammunition.”
Former Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill on Monday lamented the “ammunition” President Biden’s decision to pardon his son Hunter will give to Trump world.
“When I saw this pardon last night, I kind of wished I wasn’t going to be on TV today. Although, if I was going to be on TV, I’m sure glad I’m on TV with you”, McCaskill said to Nicolle Wallace on MSNBC’s “Deadline: White House.”
“Here’s the thing”, she added. “Do I understand Joe Biden’s pardon? Yes, completely. I get it. It’s completely understandable. But the ‘both sides’ folks out there have just gotten some really powerful ammunition. And for that reason, I hate it.”
She added that she doesn’t “blame” Biden for what he did, calling him a “wonderful man” who “loves his family desperately.
