After spending nearly a decade calling President-elect Trump a threat to democracy/institutions/norms and proclaiming ‘no one is above the law’ as they demanded he be put in prison, the Cackling Coven of ABC’s The View put their ideologically driven hypocrisy on full display on Wednesday as the urged President Biden to pardon his criminal son Hunter. Not only him, but his vicious dog who attacked and injured multiple people.
The idea of a pardon for Hunter was the first Hot Topic of the show. Moderator Whoopi Goldberg seemed to get the answer they were looking for from the audience since they cheered for the idea and a few people shouted “yes”:
GOLDBERG: But there’s a much more serious pardon that many people are wondering about and that is people are wondering should Biden pardon his son –
[Audience members shouting “yes” and applause]
Hunter or does that make him an even bigger target for you-know-who coming in? It’s an interesting question, which I pose to you all.
Faux conservative Alyssa Farah Griffin was the first to voice her support for Biden to abuse his power for his family’s benefit. “So, personally, I think I would pardon my child. I don’t even have kids; I’d bury a body for my child. So, I get it as a personal decision,” she proclaimed.
She went on to say that she was only “a little bit” concerned about what that kind of abuse of power meant for the country:
I worry a little bit about the implications for the country and I mean this – not because Hunter Biden affects the country but because there’s such a distrust in the powerful, the politically connected, and there’s this idea that there is a different system of justice. We just saw Donald Trump, his indictments go away because he’s in power.
Former federal prosecutor Sunny Hostin flaunted her hypocrisy on gun control and the rule of law by making the utterly insane argument that Hunter should be pardoned because, out of the 334.9 million people in America, “less than .09 percent of the population … are indicted on that [gun] charge.”
Hunter Biden lied about his drug use on a federal background check form, which is a felony. The ATF’s website notes: “Applicants who knowingly make false statements may also face criminal prosecution for a felony and up to 10 years in federal prison.”
Despite the facts, and without evidence, Hostin declared “that the only reason he was indicted is because his last name is Biden” and “it is the right thing to do to correct course and correct that wrong and pardon his son.”
According to pretend independent Sara Haines, Biden had been such a good president and got such a raw deal in being forced out of the presidential race that he somehow earned the right to abuse his power and pardon his son:
I agree but I think President Biden always recognized that and still took the higher road of what it meant for the country even in how he talked about it and handled it. But I’m exhausted and I think Biden has taken such a punching this time with all the losing the election — having to hand it off, the way everything has gone, I feel like this would be the one thing I would wish for him that he could just say, ‘you know what, I’m out and so is Hunter.’ I just wish he could do one thing.
As they were wrapping up the segment, Joy Behar chimed in advocate Biden pardoning his out of control dog. “They should pardon those dogs that bit the Secret Service agents. Those dogs need to be pardoned,” she said.
Farah Griffin commended the idea: “Justice for Commander Biden! That I’m on board with.”

Hunter or does that make him an even bigger target for you-know-who coming in? It’s an interesting question, which I pose to you all.
ALYSSA FARAH GRIFFIN: So, personally, I think I would pardon my child. I don’t even have kids; I’d bury a body for my child. So, I get it as a personal decision.
I worry a little bit about the implications for the country and I mean this – not because Hunter Biden affects the country but because there’s such a distrust in the powerful, the politically connected, and there’s this idea that there is a different system of justice. We just saw Donald Trump, his indictments go away because he’s in power.

SUNNY HOSTIN: One of the issues that I have is when you look at the charges that Hunter Biden was indicted on, less than .09 percent of the population is indicted on — are indicted on that charge, and so, it’s basically close to zero. So, I actually think that the only reason he was indicted is because his last name is Biden!
[Applause]
So, if you look at it like that. If you look at it like that, then it is the right thing to do to correct course and correct that wrong and pardon his son.
The other piece of this is, Hunter Biden has acknowledged his addiction. He is an addict. And in the law, you know, there are all sorts of ways to handle people that commit crimes because of their addiction. There are drug deferment programs. And he should be someone should be treated bit differently because of the addiction and I would support not only I think his pardon on the illegal gun application one but the other one in California as well.
ANA NAVARRO: And you would support it for any other addict after rehabilitation.
HOSTIN: Yes. Absolutely.
SARA HAINES: Normally I take what you’re saying, Sunny, about it’s because his son – because he is the president.
HOSTIN: For that particular charge.
HAINES: I agree but I think President Biden always recognized that and still took the higher road of what it meant for the country even in how he talked about it and handled it. But I’m exhausted and I think Biden has taken such a punching this time with all the losing the election — having to hand it off, the way everything has gone, I feel like this would be the one thing I would wish for him that he could just say, ‘you know what, I’m out and so is Hunter.’ I just wish he could do one thing.
JOY BEHAR: They should pardon those dogs that bit the Secret Service agents. Those dogs need to be pardoned.
FARAH GRIFFIN: Justice for Commander Biden! That I’m on board with.
GOLDBERG: And on that we’re going to go. We’ll be right back.
