Meghan McCain rips Hunter Biden ‘nepo baby’ pardon
Political pundit Meghan McCain took a shot at President Joe Biden after he announced late Sunday he would issue a pardon for his eldest son, Hunter.
“No one is above the law except the Presidents nepo baby is a helluva parting message for democrats,” McCain wrote on the social platform X early Monday morning.
Biden hours earlier announced in a statement through the White House the pardon for Hunter, who has pleaded guilty to nine federal tax charges, was found guilty of three felony gun charges and was to face sentencing this month.
“No reasonable person who looks at the facts of Hunter’s cases can reach any other conclusion than Hunter was singled out only because he is my son — and that is wrong,” Biden said.
The president and the White House had repeatedly said he would not pardon his son, most recently last summer after Hunter Biden was found guilty on the gun charges.
McCain, a former co-host of ABC’s “The View,” is the daughter of the late Republican senator and presidential nominee John McCain. She is a regular critic of both Biden and President-elect Trump.
