Comment on Poll: Only 2 Out of 10 Americans Support the Hunter Biden Pardon
Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 1 week agoIf I said I wasn’t gonna do it, I wouldn’t do it.
Same as when I tell my friend’s kids not to do something that’s dangerous. I tell them to stop doing it, explain why, and tell them if they do it again and hurt themselves I will not have sympathy. And I have followed through on that. I still make sure they are OK, but I don’t comfort them.

I wouldn’t run for office, so I wouldn’t be in a situation where I feel the need to lie about what I would do. I would definitely pardon my kids if I could. I wouldn’t care how it makes me look. It’s tax fraud, not murder. Hunter was targeted for prosecution because of his father, which just makes him feel more responsible. If he was Hunter Kraft, it would have been settled with a fine.
So yeah, when Biden said he wasn’t going to pardon his son, I didn’t believe that for a second. I also don’t support pardoning his son, because I do think tax cheats, all tax cheats, should face prison. But if it were me, with my kids, I can’t say I wouldn’t do the same, especially if I felt responsible for bringing them onto the battlefield.
