MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski desperately tried to defend President Biden’s decision to pardon his son Hunter — even accusing the liberal mainstream media of being “hysterically unbalanced” in giving so much face coverage shocking of the commander-in-chief.
The left-wing hosts of “Morning Joe” blasted the mainstream media for mocking Biden’s sudden reversal of his promise not to let his son go free after the president announced a “full and unconditional” pardon for Hunter on Sunday , calling their criticisms “absolutely”. out of step with reality.”
“You know, the New York Times, like, the top six stories online today were about the pardon,” Scarborough said of coverage of the case that has also angered many Democrats.
“You look at the Washington Post yesterday, you’d expect, ‘WAR OVER’ in massive headlines,” he added in his condemnation of the two liberal broadsheets.
“I don’t remember such big headlines when Donald Trump commuted Roger Stone’s sentence,” he continued, ignoring the historic nature of Biden granting such a sweeping pardon to his son, including immunity from possible future charges. .
Scarborough asserted that Democrats are frustrated with the news coverage, which “they believe is really blown out of proportion given everything that Donald Trump has done in the past and what he’s doing now.”
Brzezinski added that “if you even excuse the parallel that Trump has made himself, it’s always like this – it seems so hysterically unbalanced!”
“When you read how they’re covering this and then you look at the things that are happening on the other side, it’s, again, completely out of step with reality,” she marveled.
The troubled younger Biden, 54, was convicted in September of federal gun and tax evasion charges earlier this year. The sweeping pardon clears him of any wrongdoing over the past decade.
His father, 82, claimed he was taking the action after seeing Hunter being “selectively and unfairly” prosecuted by the Justice Department – a stark departure from his repeated public pledge not to pardon his son. his.
The outgoing commander in chief argued that Hunter “was singled out just because he’s my son — and that’s wrong.”
Special prosecutor David Weiss on Monday rejected President Biden’s claims that his son was targeted and argued that the judge overseeing Hunter’s case should not dismiss the indictment against the first son despite the president’s pardon.
