According to a poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, only 22% of Americans agree with President Biden’s decision to pardon his son, Hunter.
The embattled First Son was found guilty of federal tax and gun crimes.
From The New York Post:
That displeasure tracks with the bipartisan uproar in Washington that ignited over the president’s about-face. The survey found that a relatively small share of Americans “strongly” or “somewhat” approve of the pardon, which came after the younger Biden was convicted on gun and tax charges.
About half said they “strongly” or “somewhat” disapprove, and about 2 in 10 neither approve nor disapprove.
The Democratic president had said repeatedly that he would not use his pardon power for the benefit of his family, and the White House continued to insist, even after Republican Donald Trump’s election win in November, that Biden’s position had not changed — until it suddenly did.
“I know it’s not right to believe politicians as far as what they say compared to what they do, but he did explicitly say, ‘I will not pardon my son,’” said Peter Prestia, a 59-year-old Republican from Woodland Park, New Jersey, just west of New York City, who said he strongly disagreed with the move. “So, it’s just the fact that he went back on his word.”
President Biden claimed his own DOJ had presided over a “miscarriage of justice” in prosecuting his son.
