Radio host Charlamagne tha God criticized Democrats after President Biden’s pardon of his son Hunter.  

“I just want Democrats to stop acting like they are on this moral high ground politically, when they have shown us they’re not,” he said on the Black Information Network Monday morning. “Whether it’s skipping the primary process when Biden stepped down to things like Biden pardoning his son. Stop acting like you all are the pure party and Republicans aren’t.” 

Biden announced Sunday that he signed a “full and unconditional pardon” for his son, backtracking on his previous claims that he wouldn’t. Hunter Biden, who is 54, pleaded guilty to nine federal tax charges and was found guilty of three felony gun charges. He was set to face sentencing Wednesday. 

Biden argued that Hunter was targeted because of his relationship to the sitting president, and that he had no reason to believe the attempts to “break” his son would end anytime soon.  

“[Biden’s pardon] also shows me elected officials can do whatever they want as long as they have the political will and courage to do it,” Charlamagne tha God added. He has previously supported Democratic candidates, inviting Vice President Harris to his show “The Breakfast Club” on her campaign trail.
