The US president has been criticized by Democrats and Republicans for pardoning his son over federal gun and tax charges
Biden’s decision to pardon son divides Democrats
Joe Biden’s decision has split Democrats on Capitol Hill (we reported on some Republican reaction in our previous post).
Jared Polis, the Democratic governor of Colorado, criticized Biden’s decision.
“While as a father I certainly understand President Joe Biden’s natural desire to help his son by pardoning him, I am disappointed that he put his family ahead of the country,” Polis said on X, as reported by NBC News, which was the first to break the news of the presidential pardon.
