Fox Host Absurdly Claims ‘Donald Trump Would Have Pardoned Hunter Biden’

According to some of the on-air employees who work at the bullshit factory that has the nerve to call itself Fox “News,” there was no reason for President Joe Biden to pardon his son, Hunter, because President-elect Donald Trump would have gladly done the same when he takes office in January of next year.

During a discussion this morning of the full pardon issued by President Biden on Sunday evening, Fox host Lawerence Jones remarked, “You know, as I think the fear may have been misplaced, though, I think that the Democrats, including the president, Joe Biden, thought that Donald Trump would treat them like they treated him with political prosecution. I think they’re wrong. I think Donald Trump would have pardoned Hunter Biden.”

“I think we would have gotten some type of report about the corruption and what’s been happening in Department of Justice,” he continued. “I think he’s going to clean house when it comes to the FBI and Department of Justice, but I don’t think he would have went after Hunter Biden.”

Co-host Steve Doocy agreed that Trump “probably would have gone ahead and pardoned him.”

“The only difference is if Donald Trump would have pardoned Hunter Biden, you know, in 50-some-odd days, is it wouldn’t be for that 10 year period,” Doocy continued. “It would just be for those two things that he’s been convicted but not sentenced to a good point.”

What a load of shit! Donald Trump’s own reaction to the pardon of Hunter Biden directly undercut what Jones and Doocy claimed.

On social media, Trump wrote, “Does the Pardon given by Joe to Hunter include the J-6 Hostages, who have now been imprisoned for years? Such an abuse and miscarriage of Justice!”

As Steve Benen of MSNBC notes, “Trump’s list of scandalous pardon abuses is so long, it could be a lengthy book. The names should be familiar: Paul Manafort. Michael Flynn. Steve Bannon. Roger Stone. Seven different Republican members of Congress who were locked up for corruption crimes.”

“Trump saw presidential pardons as get-out-of-jail-free cards for his friends and associates, engaging in the kind of brazen corruption that would’ve defined his term were it not eclipsed by other breathtaking scandals.”

Donald Trump would have pardoned Hunter Biden? That’s not the least bit plausible. Trump only helps those who can help him. He’s a selfish bastard who, unlike Hunter Biden, deserves to spend the rest of his life behind bars.
