MAGA was eager to criticize President Biden for pardoning his son, but social media users reminded them that Donald Trump did the same in 2020.

Summary

Social media users criticized Donald Trump for pardoning Charles Kushner, Jared Kushner’s father, in 2020 and later nominating him as U.S. ambassador to France, while Trump supporters condemned President Biden’s pardon of his son, Hunter.

Charles Kushner, convicted of tax evasion and witness intimidation, joins a list of controversial pardons issued by Trump, including Steve Bannon, Michael Flynn, Roger Stone, and Paul Manafort.

All of these individuals were close allies or associates of Trump who were involved in scandals or investigations related to his presidency.

    I believe that if Trump was jailed, Biden would have let his son go to jail too.

    But because the country doesn’t think criminals should be jailed, there was no reason for Hunter to pay a price for laws that no one cares about enforcing.

    I don’t think it’s a coincidence that Trump made his pardoned criminal relative the ambassador to France right before Biden pardoned his son ( Who isn’t and has never been in politics. )
