Americans reveal their VERY strong reactions to Biden pardoning Hunter

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

49% : Trump wrote in a post on his platform, Truth Social, on Sunday. '
40% : 'So while I'm sure we'll get plenty of pundits claiming that Biden pardoning his son opens the door for Trump to use his pardon power in overtly personal and political ways, I find it laughable that this wasn't always going to be the case.'
32% : 'We're trying to gear ourselves up to resist Trump and authoritarianism - and then to have the Democrats with such blatant corruption...
26% : Biden's announcement shocked Washington, after he entered the White House in 2021 vowing to restore the 'integrity' of a justice system that Democrats said had been corrupted by Trump - and because he had specifically vowed not to reprieve his son.
20% : Meanwhile Democrats worried that Trump would use Biden's action to justify pardoning rioters jailed after the January 6, 2021 assault on the US Capitol.
9% : Such an abuse and miscarriage of Justice!'Democratic Colorado Governor Jared Polis said Biden's son had brought his legal woes on himself and accused the president of having 'put his family ahead of the country.''This is a bad precedent that could be abused by later Presidents and will sadly tarnish his reputation,' Polis posted on X. 'When you become President, your role is Pater familias of the nation.'Political scientist Nicholas Creel, of Georgia College and State University argues however that nothing Biden does before leaving office will affect the actions of a successor who 'simply does not care about precedent.''Trump was never going to need an excuse to do whatever he wants once he takes office,' he said.
