Do you remember all those times Democrats cited Joe Biden’s refusal to pardon his son Hunter as proof that, among other things, Biden believes in the rule of law and the independence of our justice system? These Democrats actually believed him! Those were good times, weren’t they?
CNN’s Brianna Keilar put Rep. Dan Goldman (D-N.Y.) on the spot during an interview Monday, asking him how he feels now, in the wake of the pardon.
“You went out on a limb by backing up Biden when he said there would not be a pardon in July of 2023, just after that plea deal fell through,” Keilar began. She then played a clip of Goldman at the time saying the following:
QUESTION: Do you think a pardon for his son would be a mistake?
REP. DAN GOLDMAN: Yes. And I don’t think there’s any chance that President Biden is going to do that, unlike his predecessor, who pardoned all of his friends and anyone who had any access to him… And I think you see that in this case, where he kept on — and Merrick Garland kept on — a Trump-appointed U.
