Three former aides to President Obama criticized President Biden for pardoning his son Hunter after previously stating he would not do so. The aides expressed frustration on their podcast, highlighting the potential negative impact on the Democratic Party's reputation.
One of the aides, Vietor, acknowledged the human aspect of Biden's decision but criticized the president for making his defenders appear foolish and dishonest. He expressed concern that Republicans could use this incident to paint Democrats as typical, lying politicians, leading to a general distrust of all politicians.
