Former President Joe Biden claims he personally authorized every clemency decision at the end of his term. But reports show he didn’t sign most pardons himself. Instead, he let aides use a machine to sign his name.
Biden told the New York Times he made every pardon choice himself. He said this included thousands of federal convicts getting reduced sentences. But the facts tell a different story.
The truth is Biden only approved general standards for pardons. He didn’t review individual cases. His staff used an autopen to sign his name on official papers. This machine stamps a copy of his signature without him being involved.
In his final weeks, Biden granted clemency to over 4,000 prisoners. This was the biggest single-day clemency act by any president. But he didn’t physically sign these orders. His top aide Jeff Zients emailed approval to use the autopen for all pardons.
Shockingly, some pardons went to Biden’s own family members. These were also signed by machine. Biden claims he made every decision, but evidence proves he only set broad rules.
Republicans in Congress are investigating Biden’s mental fitness. They question if he was capable of leading at the end. The autopen scandal shows why Americans doubt his leadership.
Using a machine to pardon criminals is shameful. Hardworking Americans expect their president to personally handle such serious decisions. This looks like weakness and deceit.
Biden’s actions disrespect the presidency. Patriots deserve leaders who take responsibility, not hide behind machines. This autopen scandal proves Biden failed that test.
