Joe Biden pardoning Hunter Biden was the final cherry on top for a failed Presidency.
Biden left his party holding the bag.
And Jon Stewart destroyed Democrats for this awful response to Hunter Biden’s pardon.
Jon Stewart calls out Democrat Party hypocrisy
Jon Stewart’s Daily Show monologue focused on the Hunter Biden pardon and its fallout.
Joe Biden insisted that he was never going to pardon Hunter.
Democrats latched on to that claim and wielded it as their chief talking point about why Donald Trump – who they falsely claimed promised to weaponize the Justice Department against his political enemies – was the true threat to democracy.
“The problem is the rest of the Democrats made Biden’s pledge to not pardon Hunter the foundation of their defense of America, this great experiment,” Stewart told his audience.
Stewart then played a montage of clips where Democrats intoned with all the self-righteousness they could muster how Joe Biden’s respect for the rule of law stood in contrast to Donald Trump’s promise to ransack norms and institutions.
But as soon as Joe Biden pardoned his son Democrats had to pull a 180 and offer up a defense for the indefensible.
“Now, look at the dance Democrats have to do,” Stewart said before airing a series of clips where Democrats sputtered and stammered through trying to justify Joe Biden lying to the American people about a core argument as to why Americans should elect Democrats to power.
The Hunter Biden pardon means the American people can now safely ignore further Democrat campaign promises as just more typical political talk and falsehoods.
“At every turn, Democrats keep getting caught creating a purity test for a system that they can’t seem to pass themselves,” Stewart added.
Stewart admitted the American people can now rightly conclude Donald Trump is correct when he rails against a corrupt and rigged justice system thanks to the Hunter Biden pardon.
“Rules, loopholes, and norms: The distance between the systems Democrats say they are revering and the one that they’re using when they need to is why people think it’s rigged,” Stewart continued.
Who Joe Biden is
The Biden family got rich off alleged self-dealing and influence peddling.
Joe Biden dishing out one more favor to his family thanks to his access to power was completely on brand.
And Stewart lamented the unfairness of it all, calling out how Joe Biden selfishly wielded power for the benefit of his family as opposed to the country at large.
“Use the rules. Use the loopholes. F*** the norms. But also use it to help people, not just those people who are related to you. All of us are somebody’s son or somebody’s daughter, and we all need that break, too,” Stewart concluded.
Stewart’s takedown of Joe Biden pardoning his son provides a window into why the media is furious with Joe Biden.
Normally the press defends Democrats at all costs.
But in this case Biden put the press’ – and the Democrat Party’s more broadly – credibility through a woodchipper after they held him up as an American saint for claiming he would never pardon his son.
