All times Joe Biden and The White House claimed Hunter wouldn’t be
the
pardoned

At anoisy holiday party, a friend pulled me aside for a quiet conversation. He’s long been a major
Democratic donor in New York and nationally but has grown increasingly disenchanted with the party’s
far-left policies.

“You were right about Trump,” he whispered, before delivering the bombshell: “And voted I for him.”

We shook hands and laughed.

They apparently believed that Bidenomics was working and that more

wrong or a MAGA crazy.

I say “apparently” because they had to know that Biden was a historically unpopular president, but they
kept finding ways to protect him and blame voters. To say they were motivated by their hatred for Trump is
to state the obvious.

Liberal media infighting

In thatcontext, the public feuds breaking out among the guilty, with some at MSNBC attacking the New
York Times and others, add relish to the spectacle. A circular firing squad of malignant actors is a joy to
watch.

The shootouts are early signs of the enormous consequences likely to result from Trump’s victory and
Biden’s pardon.

By justifying his pardon by claiming the cases were “infected” by politics and that his son “was singled out
