Only about 20% of Americans approve of President Biden's decision to pardon his son Hunter, according to a new poll released Wednesday.
President Biden’s decision to pardon his son Hunter after previously vowing he would not give his son a pass has the approval of only 20% of Americans, according to a new poll released Wednesday. The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll found about half of adults disapprove of the pardon, which came after Hunter was convicted on felony gun and tax charges.
About 80% of Republicans and 51% of Independents disapproved of the pardon, according to the poll. Biden issued a sweeping pardon for Hunter on Dec. 1 after he stated on record multiple times that he would not pardon him should a jury convict his son. The first son had been convicted in two separate federal cases earlier this year. He pleaded guilty to federal tax charges in September, and was convicted of three felony gun charges in June after lying on a mandatory gun purchase form by saying he was not illegally using or addicted to drugs. The president argued in a statement that Hunter was 'singled out only because he is my son' and that there was an effort to 'break Hunter' in order to 'break me.
