CNN humiliates Democrat rep who flip-flopped on Hunter pardon

[Ubiquitous]

Rep. Daniel Goldman (D-N.Y.) ended up eating his own words during an
interview on CNN on Monday after the network played video of the New York
Democrat insisting President Joe Biden would not pardon his son Hunter Biden.

Host Brianna Keilar noted that Goldman made his poorly aged remarks in 2023
on ABC's "This Week," after Biden's plea deal with the federal government did
not go through.

'I said many times that if Hunter Biden were not Hunter Biden, he would never
be charged with these crimes.'

"You went out on a limb backing up Biden when he said that there would not be
a pardon," Keilar said.

Goldman was asked by ABC's Jon Karl last year if the elder Biden pardoning
his son would be a mistake.

“Yes. And I don’t think there’s any chance that President Biden is going to
do that, unlike his predecessor, who pardoned all of his friends and anyone
who had any access to him. And I think you see that in this case, where he
kept on — and Merrick Garland kept on — a Trump-appointed U.S. attorney to
investigate the president’s son. If there is not an indication of the
independence of the Department of Justice beyond that, I don’t know what we
could look for," Goldman said at the time.

"I mean, what does that feel like, watching yourself back then, reassuring
people that Biden was not going to issue a pardon for his son?" Keilar asked
after the clip ended.

Goldman deflected by talking about the plea deal, claiming it would have been
a "satisfactory outcome" with no pardon, but Keilar jumped in to say that was
a moot point because the deal with the federal government had already ended.

"Well, as I said, I’m disappointed that after the plea fell through and it
became clear about why it did — including Republican congressional
intervention in this case, which made this case very unique and very
different from any other case — I think that we all, perhaps I should have as
well, recognized that this is not the normal prosecution. I said many times
that if Hunter Biden were not Hunter Biden, he would never be charged with
these crimes," Goldman replied.

Goldman went on to say Biden was forced to pardon his son because President-
elect Donald Trump is planning on holding those in the Department of Justice
accountable for their misdeeds.

Outgoing New York Democrat Rep. Jamaal Bowman likewise said on CNN that Biden
did not lie to the American people when he said for years he would not pardon
his son because "the context has changed" now that Trump will be in the White
House next year.

That has to be the weakest spin I've ever heard.

At ;east he didn't claim it's OK because Woodrow Wilson pardoned his
brother-in-law, Seymore deButts.
