In response to an editorial by The Washington Post printed in The Republican, the author disagrees with the conclusion that President Biden’s pardon of his son, Hunter Biden, deepens distrust of the justice system. Hunter Biden purchased a gun without disclosing a drug problem, a crime for which he was charged and convicted. The editorial suggests that Hunter should not have been pardoned because he broke the law, but the author argues that pardons are typically granted to individuals who have indeed broken the law. The author questions the editorial’s insinuation that Hunter was targeted because he is the son of President Biden.
The author highlights the rarity of enforcement of the law that Hunter Biden violated, further raising doubts about the motivations behind targeting him. Ultimately, the author challenges the assertion that the pardon of Hunter Biden contributes to a distrust of the justice system, as pardons are a common practice for individuals who have committed offenses.
