The media is hustling to defend President Joe Biden’s unprecedented pardon of his son, Hunter Biden, by drawing an irrelevant parallel to Donald Trump’s pardon of Charles Kushner back in 2020. Just when one thought the art of comparing apples to oranges couldn’t get worse, along comes the liberal press. The attempt here is almost comical, but let’s humor the left for a moment.
First off, it’s essential to understand that Kushner, a real estate mogul, actually went to prison for his crimes—think tax evasion and a lovely little scheme involving witness intimidation—serving a grand total of 14 months. He also completed his full sentence and faced his consequences. Biden’s son, on the other hand, is walking away scot-free from a string of serious crimes, including tax evasion and falsifying records related to a handgun purchase, and he hasn’t even begun to serve his time.
🚨BREAKING: Biden’s Own Justice Dept. Rejects Hunter’s Pardon In New Filing With Court

Biden’s pardon isn’t just a gentle tap on the wrist; it’s a full-on VIP pass to the exit door, effectively saying to Hunter, “The law doesn’t apply to you.” Hunter Biden’s impending legal fate included an eye-popping potential sentence of 17 years in prison. Instead of paying his dues, he gets a family bailout, likely paying off a generational debt of corruption that extends right up to the Oval Office.
Meanwhile, leftist commentators seem to think that just because Trump granted a pardon to Kushner, Biden is justified in doing the same for his own child. It almost feels as if the left is on a scavenger hunt for justification, but they seem to be coming up empty-handed. The stark difference in their respective situations points to a clear choice: one played by the rules, and the other is simply rewriting them.
Adding insult to injury, Hunter’s pardon even comes with a considerable bonus—the dates it covers ensure that it wipes the slate clean for his crimes committed between 2014 and December 2024. So, while the Democrats are busy trying to sell a manufactured narrative that equates family ties, it’s worth noting that one son-in-law was held accountable while the other was given a free get-out-of-jail card.
As if the media’s feeble attempts to spin this weren’t eyebrow-raising enough, former federal prosecutor Sunny Hostin tried to claim that Hunter shouldn’t be facing legal repercussions because he’s part of a minuscule percentage of Americans involved in drug-related offenses. This bizarre justification reveals an alarming trend in liberal logic which seems more like an attempt to normalize criminal behavior among elite families rather than foster accountability.
In the grand scheme of things, the hypocrisies of the left are glaring. The comparisons of Hunter’s pardon to that of Kushner’s are not just apples and oranges; they are more like mixing oil and water. Accountability, it appears, is reserved for the little guy, while the connected elite are free to break laws with impunity. Why worry about prison when your dad is the President?
