“The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg mentioned Tuesday that she doesn’t perceive “why people are clutching their pearls” about Hunter Biden’s pardon by his father, President Biden.
“This is his right as president,” Goldberg mentioned on “The View,” in a clip highlighted by Mediaite. “He can pardon — if he wants to pardon Bozo the Clown, he can pardon Bozo the Clown.”
“So, I’m not sure why, again, why people are clutching their pearls, why the left is clutching their pearls,” she added.
Late Sunday, the president introduced that he pardoned his son, Hunter Biden. The president argued in an announcement that the costs introduced towards his son, which included three felony fees on his buy and possession of a gun in 2018, happened attributable to political causes.
“No reasonable person who looks at the facts of Hunter’s cases can reach any other conclusion than Hunter was singled out only because he is my son – and that is wrong,” Biden mentioned.
Many Republicans shortly expressed their furor with the president’s transfer, with Home Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) referring to it as abusing the justice system.
“President Biden insisted many times he would never pardon his own son for his serious crimes,” Johnson mentioned on X Monday. “But last night he suddenly granted a ‘Full and Unconditional Pardon’ for any and all offenses that Hunter committed for more than a decade! Trust in our justice system has been almost irreparably damaged by the Bidens and their use and abuse of it.”
Nevertheless, Republicans weren’t the one ones who voiced their displeasure with Hunter Biden’s pardon, with a couple of Democrats together with Colorado Gov. Jared Polis, Sen. Gary Peters (Mich.) and Sen. Peter Welch (Vt.) brazenly disagreeing with the transfer.
“I just wanna say, Democrats, you can’t have it both ways,” Goldberg mentioned Tuesday. “You can’t have it both ways. You can’t let people tell you you’re not taking the moral ground when we take the moral ground all the time.”
