Jon Stewart Says ‘I Respect’ President Biden for Pardoning Son Hunter Despite Pledges Not to: ‘Hypocrisy Isn’t Illegal … Why Not Take Care of Your Kid?’


Jon Stewart said on 'The Daily Show' Monday night that he has 'no problem' with President Joe Biden pardoning his son Hunter Biden.

Stewart went on to explain that, for him, the true issue is that “the rest of the Democrats made Biden’s pledge to not pardon Hunter the foundation of their defense of America, this grand experiment.” He then pointed out the “dance” Democrats had to do following the news of Biden’s pardon. The “Daily Show” host also empathized with Republicans’ reactions to the pardon, noting that “Biden did make this line of attack particularly available, seeing as how he spent so long saying he wouldn’t do it because of how much he respects the system.” President Biden announced Sunday night that he pardoned his son Hunter, who earlier this year was convicted of gun-related felony charges in Delaware and pleaded guilty to tax evasion in California.
