Overview
- President Joe Biden issued a sweeping pardon for his son Hunter Biden, covering all federal crimes committed from 2014 to the present.
- The pardon reverses repeated past assurances from the White House, including statements from Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, that no such action would be taken.
- Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy strongly criticized the move, calling it predictable and accusing Democrats of lying to the public.
- Portnoy argued that the Democratic Party has consistently claimed moral superiority while engaging in actions he described as worse than those of former President Donald Trump.
- The pardon has reignited broader criticism of the Democratic Party's leadership, with Portnoy calling for a complete overhaul of its approach and messaging.
