The stats guru said those backing the president’s decision shouldn’t consider themselves defenders of democracy.
The Democratic president on Sunday said he’d signed a pardon for Hunter—who faced potential prison time for felony gun and tax convictions—after repeatedly promising he wouldn’t do so. In a statement, he justified the full and unconditional pardon in part by claiming his son had been “selectively, and unfairly, prosecuted” as part of “an effort to break Hunter.
He also urged those defending the pardoning to “please stop thinking of yourself as a defender of ‘democracy’ or norms or the rule of law.”
