Biden slammed by his own party after shock U-turn decision to pardon son Hunter: 'Put his family ahead of the country'

Elon Musk and other critics have challenged President Biden's recent decision to pardon his son Hunter, with accusations of hypocrisy and prioritizing family over the country.

Biden's controversial decision to pardon Hunter has drawn criticism from both Republicans and Democrats alike, with Colorado Governor Jared Polis expressing disappointment. He accused Biden of prioritizing family over the country's best interests, warning of a damaging precedent. The backlash included sharp comments from Republican figures, who labeled the move corrupt and hypocritical, given Biden’s previous statements against pardoning his son.

As Hunter Biden faced upcoming sentencing, Biden defended the pardon by asserting that Hunter was unfairly treated compared to others in the justice system, arguing that charges against him stemmed from political motivations. Discontent within the Democratic Party is evident, with some members feeling that Biden’s actions undermine party integrity and might strengthen Trump's political position.

The response to the pardon from various political figures has been largely critical, with accusations of a two-tier justice system and calls for accountability regarding the Biden family's alleged corrupt activities. Former Attorney General Eric Holder, however, stated that the pardon was warranted and indicative of a double standard in the judicial process. Amidst the political turmoil, Hunter Biden responded to the pardon by highlighting his struggles with addiction and his ongoing efforts to maintain sobriety, pledging to make amends for his past mistakes.
