Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) has joined his fellow leftists in desperately trying to avoid discussing President Joe Biden’s shockingly broad pardon of his son, Hunter Biden.
On Sunday, Biden issued a sweeping pardon for his son that did not just cover the crimes he has been convicted of or pled guilty to — instead, the pardon covered all crimes he may have committed in the decade between 2014 and December 1, 2024.
BREAKING: This wasn't just a pardon of Hunter Biden. This was a CYA of the entire Biden Family Criminal Enterprise from Ukraine to China

This decision sent shockwaves through the political arena, with even Democrats decrying the pardon as “stupidly selfish” and arguing that it has “destroyed” Biden’s legacy — especially considering the fact that Biden and his allies have repeatedly insisted that there would be no pardon for Hunter Biden.
Joe Biden's pardon of Hunter is NOT being received well by DNC Operators.
They're calling the pardon "stupidly selfish," "senile" "bullshit" and "just plain wrong."
Democrats are calling Biden a "serial liar" saying he "destroyed" his legacy.

Schumer is one of those allies, and thus he is desperately trying to avoid discussing the hypocrisy.
The Senate majority leader was asked about Biden’s pardon by numerous reporters while his Senate Democrat colleagues Cory Booker (D-NJ), Dick Durbin (D-IL), and Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) all stood behind him uncomfortably.
“Do you agree with some of your Democrat colleagues that President Biden pardoning Hunter Biden was wrong, unwise, and put personal interest ahead of unity?” one reporter asked.
“I got nothin’ for you on that,” Schumer responded.
“Can I follow up on that? Are you concerned about the lack of transparency, the lack of honesty, around Biden’s decision to pardon his son?” another reporter asked.
“As I’ve said, I got nothin’ for you on that,” Schumer reiterated.
The reporter refused to give up that easily, asking: “Can I follow up on that, too?”
“Nope,” the Senate majority leader said defiantly.
A third reporter then chimed in to ask: “Are you concerned that pardoning anyone on the way out of office, family members, sets a poor precedent?”
“Thank you. I’ve got nothing for you on that,” Schumer repeated again.
A fourth reporter tried to follow up, highlighting Schumer’s past attacks against Trump for his planned pardons and arguing that Biden’s pardon sets a “bad precedent” that could allow Trump to justify those pardons.
“But the question is: You’ve talked about the January 6 pardons; this is a playbook for incoming President Trump, isn’t this a problem? Did he not establish a bad precedent for pardons?” the reporter asked.
“I’ve got nothin’ for you on that. Any other subjects?” Schumer said.
Current Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, when repeatedly asked his thoughts on the sweeping 11 year pardon of Hunter Biden:
“I’ve got nothin’ for ya.”
