'Degrading finale': NY Times columnist lays into Biden 'hypocrisy' after son's pardon

Raw Story  

A New York Times opinion writer denounced president Joe Biden's pardon of his son as the sort of "naked self-dealing" that has soured so many Americans on politics. But that's exactly what he did Sunday with less than two months left in his term, and New York Times conservative columnist Bret Stephens said that actions shows there's no wonder Democrats lost the election. "If Democrats want to understand one of the reasons the Republican Party is ascendant, they can look to President Biden’s pardon on Sunday for his son Hunter," Stephens wrote. Biden claimed in his statement announcing the pardon that his son's prosecution was the result of “political pressure” on the judicial process, which Stephens dismissed as "nonsense."
