Particularly after broadcasters and guests on CNN and MSNBC repeatedly reassured viewers that no pardon would be given, President Joe Biden’s decision to pardon his son, Hunter Biden, has drawn criticism. In a statement on Sunday, Biden justified the pardon, claiming that his son was being targeted politically. However, the reversal has come under fire for allegedly contradicting previous pledges made by the networks.
- CNN hosts, including Abby Phillip and Kaitlan Collins, highlighted Biden s pledge as a major commitment and presidential prior to his reversal.
- MSNBC contributors praised Biden s earlier stance, contrasting it with former President Donald Trump s criticism of the justice system.
- Hunter Biden s legal troubles included a jury conviction in Delaware for gun charges and a guilty plea on federal tax charges.
- Analysts like Neal Katyal and S.E. Cupp previously commended Biden for adhering to the rule of law, citing it as a strong example of democratic principles.
- The pardon has prompted backlash, as critics accuse Biden of failing to uphold the impartiality he and his allies had publicly emphasized.
CNN And MSNBC Repeatedly Reassured Viewers Biden Wouldn t Pardon Hunter
Before President Joe Biden changed his mind and pardoned his son, Hunter Biden, on Sunday, hosts and guests on CNN and MSNBC repeatedly warned viewers that he would not.
In a statement issued Sunday evening, Biden announced the pardon, saying that political rivals were trying to harm both him and his son and that Hunter had been picked out because he was the president’s son. Biden’s significant commitment to viewers was praised by the hosts and guests on the left-leaning networks, who described it as presidential and a model of decency.
CNN host Abby Phillip informed a guest who had prophesied a pardon for Hunter Biden in a montagepostedon X by Grabien founder Tom Elliot that the president has ruled out pardoning his son.
Later in the video, CNN host Kaitlan Collins stated that the president had made a significant commitment by agreeing to the trial’s verdict and refusing to pardon his son.

In contrast to President-elect Donald Trump’s criticism of the criminal proceedings against him, Biden’s vow to not pardon his son was praised by other hosts and guests on the liberal-leaning networks.
The difference is striking. CNN commentator S.E. Cupp stated, “I would not pardon my son, and I am not going to interfere in the legal process.” Republicans and Trump are defending Trump, while Democrats and Joe Biden are defending the legal system.
He could forgive his son, but he isn’t. In the montage, former federal prosecutor Andrew Weissmann reminded MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace that these are federal charges and added, “He is not doing that.” He doesn’t do it because he exemplifies what it means for this nation to have the rule of law.
Hunter Biden was found guilty by a Delaware jury of three felonies related to the acquisition of a Colt.38-caliber handgun in 2018. In September, the president’s son entered a guilty plea to federal tax charges in a California federal court.
Later in the montage, MSNBC guest Molly Jong-Fast stated, “I think Joe Biden has a chance here to stand up for the rule of law and say the rule the law is the law, no matter who it is, no matter if it is Trump or Biden.” And keep in mind that Trumpism is harmful in part because it undermines crucial institutions that are part of our democracy. Therefore, Biden has the chance to claim that the jury found him guilty. This is how it should operate. For a period. paragraph.

These conservatives have been complaining for years about the Justice Department being politicized, Biden doing so, and so forth. What took place today? The president’s only surviving son was found guilty by the Justice Department. You heard the president declare that he would accept the case’s verdict. Presidential is the only word I can think of for that. During a recent appearance on MSNBC, Neal Katyal said to anchor Jonathan Capehart, who replied, “Mm-hmm.” He even declared that he would not forgive his son. He respects the system to that extent.
Mike Barnicle, an MSNBC contributor, praised Biden’s promise to not pardon his son as a gift to democracy as the film came to a close.
