The View Hosts Urge Biden to Pardon Hunter

The hosts of ABC's 'The View' strongly advocated for President Joe Biden to pardon his son, Hunter Biden, who is facing sentencing in two federal cases for gun and tax offenses. Whoopi Goldberg and other panelists expressed that a pardon would be a way to counteract perceived political bias against Hunter, with Sunny Hostin arguing that Hunter was indicted largely due to his last name and the rarity of such charges. Joy Behar humorously pointed out that Donald Trump is expected to issue numerous pardons upon his potential return to the White House, suggesting Biden should act similarly. Hunter's legal troubles stem from a 2018 gun purchase while he was addicted to drugs and failing to pay over $1.4 million in taxes. The discussions reflect a broader debate on the implications of presidential pardons and their impact on Biden's legacy and integrity. Ultimately, the panel's consensus leaned towards the idea that a pardon would be a corrective measure for Hunter's situation.
