Ted Cruz in July predicted Biden would pardon son Hunter after Election Day
Senator Ted Cruz of Texas made a bold prediction back in July, stating that there was a 100% chance that President Biden would pardon his son, Hunter Biden. This prediction turned out to be accurate, as the White House announced on Sunday that the president had indeed granted his son a pardon.
Despite many Republicans speculating that Biden would not follow through on his pledge to the American people regarding a pardon for Hunter, Cruz seemed to foresee this outcome, particularly after the presidential election. Cruz had initially made this prediction in January during an episode of his podcast, where he had placed the odds at 95%.
Biden and his team had repeatedly denied any possibility of pardoning Hunter, especially in light of his federal convictions for gun and tax-related offenses. However, on Sunday, Biden made a significant reversal by granting a sweeping pardon that covered not only the existing charges but also any potential offenses committed by Hunter from 2014 to 2024.
In a statement, Biden explained his decision to pardon his son, emphasizing his commitment to not interfering with the Justice Department’s decisions. He expressed frustration over what he perceived as selective and unfair prosecution of Hunter, citing his promise to uphold the rule of law since taking office.
Following the announcement of the pardon, Cruz took to Twitter to highlight a post from Biden in which he had asserted that no one is above the law. Cruz’s response implied that Biden’s actions contradicted his earlier statement, suggesting that the situation had not aged well.
The broad nature of the pardon has sparked backlash from lawmakers who are critical of the president’s decision. Many are questioning the motives behind the pardon and raising concerns about the precedent it sets.
Overall, the pardon of Hunter Biden has raised significant controversy and debate, with many questioning the integrity of the decision-making process. The fallout from this pardon is likely to continue to unfold in the coming days and weeks, as the political landscape grapples with the implications of this divisive move.
