There have in fairness been the rare Democrat voice objecting to the pardon of Hunter Biden although we have also gotten defenses of the pardon from the View and this gem from MSNBC because, well it’s MSNBC:
and there is this at the Bulwark (via hotair)
But for me the big thing is this:
Yep, that’s the real problem, it makes these Never Trump guys look bad.
and as Professor Jacobson notes there is something that they find even worse….
That’s why the Democrats are angry. They’re not angry that Joe Biden pardoned his son. They’re not angry that he lied about it for years. They’re angry that they feel that this had given an advantage to Trump. That’s what the anger is about on the Democrat side, and the Never-Trump side. It’s complete anger that they feel that Joe Biden has handed Trump a potential victory, and that’s what they’re upset about.
What does it come down to? The sin of Pride, pride to keep from consequences, pride in that “we’re better than Trump” and pride in thinking the only problem with corruption is it embarrasses them.
There is a reason why Pride is the 1st of the deadly sins, because it excuses so many others.
