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.
