Despite Media Spin, Only 2 Out Of 10 Americans Support Hunter Biden Pardon<\/span><\/p>\n

As Democratic politicians and pundits\u00a0rush<\/a>\u00a0to defend President Joe Biden\u2019s unethical pardon of his son, Hunter, the public is expressing overwhelming opposition to his abuse of office.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The latest poll, by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, found that only two out of ten Americans support the pardon despite weeks of media spin.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The poll shows that Biden is no longer even garnering a majority among Democrats. Only 38 percent sought the pardon.<\/p>\n

As discussed in my New York Post\u00a0column<\/a>\u00a0this week, there was\u00a0an\u00a0embarrassing moment<\/a>\u00a0recently at the White House when Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre claimed that a poll showed \u201c64% of the American people agree with the pardon \u2014 64% of the American people. So, we get a sense of where the American people are on this.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

That poll actually showed the majority of Americans opposed the pardon. Yet, it was 64 percent of Democrats who favored a president giving his own son a pardon.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It now turns out that that poll was likely wrong and that, even among Democrats, less than 40 percent support the pardon. Jean-Pierre is unlikely to use today\u2019s press conference to highlight this poll, as she erroneously used the prior poll.<\/p>\n

This has not stopped Democratic figures in Congress and the media fighting to excuse a grossly unethical and corrupt use of pardon authority.<\/p>\n

Sen. Dick Durbin (D., Ill.), chairman of the\u00a0Senate<\/a>\u00a0Judiciary Committee and Senate majority whip, even called it a \u201clabor of love<\/a>.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Indeed, much of the corruption in Washington is a labor of love, from nepotism to influence peddling to corrupt pardons.<\/p>\n

Indeed, faced with overwhelming opposition from the public to the Biden pardon, Democratic members are now \u201cPrisoners of Love<\/a>\u201d in fighting to rationalize a blatantly unethical act.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This may or may not be a video of the choreographed response at the DNC with the members and media figures:<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
