Jon Stewart has ripped President Biden’s “hypocrisy” for pardoning son Hunter Biden after repeatedly vowing not to — while mocking the pathetic “dance Democrats have to do” to defend the betrayal of what they sold as their “Mason-Dixon Line of morality.”
“Hypocrisy isn’t illegal. Nor is it particularly unusual in politics,” Stewart said during the opening of the “Daily Show” Monday, a day after Biden announced an unprecedented “full and unconditional” pardon for his convicted son, despite repeated firm assurances he would not do so.
“The problem is the rest of the Democrats made Biden’s pledge to not pardon Hunter the foundation of their defense of America, this great experiment,” Stewart said.
To highlight it, the show aired a highlight reel of Democratic leaders praising Biden’s promise, and how they used the commander in chief’s broken promise to support the justice system as their “Mason-Dixon line of morality between Democrats and Republicans.”
“And now, look at the dance Democrats have to do,” Stewart continued before playing new clips of Democrats struggling to come up with excuses for Biden’s backtracking.
Biden, 82, repeatedly assured the public he would not pardon his 54-year-old son for his gun charges and tax felonies, suggesting it showed his belief for the justice system was even stronger than his love for his son. Instead, he gave Hunter a “full and unconditional” pardon covering even potential future charges.
“Look man, Democrats made this case an example of why Americans should believe in our system,” Stewart said of those repeated promises, that left-wing media also pushed as a sign of superiority over the right.
“At every turn, Democrats keep getting caught creating a purity test for a system that they can’t seem to pass themselves,” he said.
“Rules, loopholes, and norms: The distance between the systems Democrats say they are revering and the one that they’re using when they need to is why people think it’s rigged,” he said.
“Use the rules. Use the loopholes. F–k the norms,” the host added.
“But also use it to help people, not just those people who are related to you.”
