Biden's Hunter Pardon Faces Broad Backlash

President Joe Biden's recent decision to pardon his son, Hunter Biden, has sparked widespread criticism from various quarters, including political opponents and media outlets. Critics, such as the Washington Post editorial board, argue that the pardon undermines Biden's previous stance against pardoning his son and supports claims of a 'weaponized' justice system by President-elect Donald Trump. Some Republicans, like Rep. James Comer, suggest the pardon may not resolve the family's legal issues and accuse other Biden family members of wrongdoing. Public opinion is divided, with a Boston.com poll showing 65% of respondents disagreeing with the pardon. Former 'Meet the Press' host Chuck Todd criticized the Bidens for prioritizing political ambitions over family issues, while Stephen A. Smith suggested Biden consider pardoning Trump to ease national tensions.
