Both wondered if the president was ignoring America's best interest when he issued an eleventh-hour pardon for his son, Hunter Biden, earlier this month.
President Joe Biden’s decision to pardon his son isn’t sitting well with two top Democratic allies.
Over the weekend, Sens. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) and Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) both wondered if the president was ignoring America’s best interest when he issued an eleventh-hour pardon for his son, Hunter Biden, earlier this month.
During a Sunday appearance on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Sanders worried that President Biden may have set a “dangerous” precedent by overriding his son’s criminal convictions and offering sweeping protection against future prosecutions with his decree.
“I think two things: When you have his opponents going after his family, as a father, as a parent, I think we can all understand Biden trying to protect his son and his family,” Sanders told host Kristen Welker.
“On the other hand, I think the precedent being set is kind of a dangerous one,” he continued. “It was a very wide-open pardon which could, under different circumstances, lead to problems in terms of future presidents.”
