Rounding up just some early commentary on a father’s pardoning

I was inclined to wait a bit before doing a round up of commentary on Prez Biden’s decision last night to pardon his son Hunter. (For the record, I suspect Prez Biden made the decision to pardon Hunter a long time ago, but it was officially announced yesterday.)  And yet, I have seen so many notable pieces in less than 24 hours, I think an (abridged) round up cannot wait.  So:

From The Atlantic, “Biden’s Unpardonable Hypocrisy“

From The Bulwark, “In Defense of the Hunter Biden Pardon“

From Fox News, “President Biden’s pardon of son Hunter a political gift for Trump going forward“

From Fox News, “Joe Biden’s pardon of son Hunter cements his legacy as liar in chief“

From The Guardian, “With his pardon of son Hunter, Joe Biden delivers a heartfelt hypocrisy“

From MSNBC, “Joe Biden chose fatherly love over his duties as president“

From New York magazine, “Joe Biden’s Pardon of Hunter Is So Much Worse Than It Needed to Be“

From the New York Times, “Biden’s Pardon for His Son Dishonors the Office“

From The New Yorker, “Biden’s Pardon of Hunter Further Undermines His Legacy“

From Politico, “Joe Biden’s Parting Insult“

From Slate, “The Hunter Biden Pardon Is Defensible — and Perverse“

From the Washington Post, “Biden did what many fathers would do: Save his child“
