Democrats in Congress Criticize Bidenโ€™s Pardon of His Son Hunter Lawmakers in the presidentโ€™s own party, many of them moderates, said his decision to pardon his son was selfish and would further damage Americansโ€™ waning faith in democracy and the rule of law.

Comparing it to DTโ€™s actions is not helpfulโ€”DT sets the standard for corruption, disgrace, and immorality and is no kind of ethical baseline. Would Lincoln do it? Would (either) Roosevelt? I think not.
