President Joe Biden’s decision to pardon his son, Hunter Biden, has sparked sharp criticism, even from unexpected corners like radio host Charlamagne Tha God.

Speaking on “The Breakfast Club” Monday, Charlamagne slammed Democrats for pretending to hold the moral high ground, declaring that the pardon is a glaring example of the party’s hypocrisy, as reported by The Daily Caller.

The pardon follows months of Biden claiming he wouldn’t intervene in his son’s legal troubles. Hunter Biden had been convicted by a Delaware jury of illegally possessing a firearm while using drugs and lying on the purchase form.

Biden’s public statement defending the pardon alleged that Hunter was unfairly “singled out” because of their familial ties, but Charlamagne wasn’t buying it.

“Hunter was singled out because he broke the law. That’s number one,” Charlamagne said bluntly. “He was singled out because he had an illegal gun and tax evasion charges, not because he was the president’s son. And I honestly don’t care.”

The radio host didn’t stop there. He called out the broader hypocrisy of the Democratic Party, urging them to drop their sanctimonious posturing.

“I just want Democrats to stop acting like they are on this moral high ground politically when they have shown us they’re not,” Charlamagne continued.

“Whether it’s skipping the primary process when Biden stepped down or things like Biden pardoning his son, stop acting like y’all are the pure party and Republicans aren’t.”

Charlamagne’s comments point to a deeper frustration with elected officials who, in his words, “can do whatever they want as long as they have the political will and courage to do it.”

His criticism underscores a growing sentiment among voters who feel alienated by a political class that operates with apparent impunity.

In his official statement, Biden doubled down on his defense of Hunter, claiming the charges were part of a campaign of selective prosecution aimed at his family.

“No reasonable person who looks at the facts of Hunter’s cases can reach any other conclusion than Hunter was singled out only because he is my son — and that is wrong,” Biden said. He also pointed to his son’s sobriety as evidence of resilience amid what he described as relentless attacks.

Hunter Biden had initially planned to plead guilty to two misdemeanor tax charges and strike a deal for the gun charge, avoiding jail time. However, the agreement unraveled in July when District Court Judge Maryellen Noreika questioned an immunity clause embedded in the deal.
