I would have pardoned my son too. I'm not sure why my team feels compelled to say things out loud that do not need to be said.
For instance, Biden never should have said he wouldn't pardon or commute Hunter's sentence. It's possible that he meant it at the time he said it and got spooked as his time in office comes to an end. But, why the fuck say it in the 1st place.
Another example is making the pronouncement that you are going to pick a black female as vice president. Why the fuck is it necessary to say/promise this out loud. I would have said I'm going to look at a whole host of candidates for VP. Men, women, persons of colour, gay, etc. Whomever is the best candidate will be my pick.
The dems need to learn from the republicans how to play politics aka lie better. Sadly, they probably won't and the country ultimately pays the price.
In what way does the country pay the price?
The issue isn't that he pardoned his kid, entire country expected that. The issue is they spent a year saying he wouldn't, telling everyone to trust the justice system and to respect the rule of law, etc, etc.
