Former President Biden’s pardon decisions at the end of his term have drawn intense conservative criticism. While he insists he personally authorized all clemency actions, Republicans argue the process was rushed and self-serving. There’s no evidence supporting claims that Biden’s “COVID czar” pardoned Dr. Fauci.
Biden maintains he approved every pardon personally. This includes using an autopen device to sign thousands of clemency warrants during his final weeks in office. Conservatives view this as an evasion of presidential responsibility.
The majority of Biden’s pardons went to nonviolent drug offenders and political allies. This includes controversial preemptive pardons for Hunter Biden and administration staff. Republicans argue these were self-protective moves against potential Trump-era investigations.
Biden claims he established pardon categories rather than reviewing individual cases. Critics say this lazy approach allowed unqualified individuals to receive clemency without proper vetting. The constitutional validity of these autopen-signed pardons remains disputed.
Dr. Fauci wasn’t among those pardoned despite false rumors. The focus instead remains on Biden’s last-minute pardons for family and staff. These actions appear designed to shield allies from accountability.
Republicans rightly question why Biden waited until after the election for most pardons. This timing suggests political calculations over justice. A true leader would have stood by these decisions during his presidency.
The autopen controversy highlights deeper concerns about Biden’s leadership. True presidential duties shouldn’t be delegated to machines or staff. Patriots demand transparency in such weighty constitutional matters.
These pardons represent a broken system where elites protect their own. Hardworking Americans see special treatment for the powerful while ordinary citizens face full consequences. This double standard must end.
