‘The View’: Joe Biden Didn’t Lie About Hunter Par­don, But If He Did, It Was Trump’s Fault, Part II

Posted in Election 2024  •  Published by

The hosts of ABC’s “The View” kicked off Tuesday’s broad­cast with a con­tin­u­a­tion of Monday’s vig­or­ous defense of Pres­i­dent Joe Biden — and his deci­sion to offer his embat­tled son, Hunter Biden, a sweep­ing par­don for any crimes he com­mit­ted or may have com­mit­ted over an 11-year span.

Even as they com­plained about the “inter­nal fir­ing squad” of Democ­rats who dared to crit­i­cize Biden for the his­tor­i­cal­ly unprece­dent­ed par­don, cohosts Whoopi Gold­berg and Sun­ny Hostin joined said “fir­ing squad” to lay down cov­er fire for the Bidens.

Gold­berg began the dis­cus­sion, com­plain­ing that Biden’s crit­ics were the real prob­lem and argu­ing that because Biden had the pow­er to par­don any­one he want­ed, no one should be allowed to ques­tion how he exer­cised that pow­er.

“It is his right and he doesn’t have to explain to any­body,” Gold­berg insist­ed, say­ing that it was “hurt­ful for the Amer­i­can peo­ple” that any­one would con­tin­ue to ques­tion Biden’s deci­sion.

Gold­berg went on to com­plain about the Democ­rats speak­ing out against the par­don, say­ing, “Democ­rats, you can’t have it both ways, you can’t have it both ways. You can’t let peo­ple tell you you’re not tak­ing the moral ground when we take the moral ground all the time. We fight for migrant rights, for women’s rights, gay folks’ rights, trans rights, and every time we do, sud­den­ly we’re being told, oh, you on the woke agen­da.”

“Either we are this par­ty and we fight for these things and you see what’s going on and you get why he’s decid­ed to do this or you don’t,” Gold­berg con­tin­ued. “But you don’t go out and chew up oth­er Democ­rats. This is a big prob­lem, I feel, as a Demo­c­rat.”

Hostin joined in as well, say­ing that she also had a prob­lem with the “inter­nal fir­ing squad” that saw Democ­rats pit­ting them­selves against Pres­i­dent Biden over this par­tic­u­lar issue.

“It’s been real­ly both­er­ing me,” she said, and then piv­ot­ed to say that Biden wasn’t lying when he — along with a num­ber of peo­ple in his admin­is­tra­tion — had repeat­ed­ly claimed that he would not par­don Hunter. Instead, she said his 180-degree rever­sal just showed that he “became the prag­mat­ic pres­i­dent we always knew.”

WATCH:

Hostin then shift­ed gears to attack Pres­i­dent-elect Don­ald Trump, argu­ing that Joe Biden’s dis­hon­esty was irrel­e­vant because Trump lied.

“So, if we want to talk about LYING, let’s talk about THAT and stop this PEARL-CLUTCHING about Joe Biden lying!” she scold­ed.
