Deep dives
Republican Hypocrisy on Justice
The reaction of Republicans to President Biden's pardon of Hunter Biden reveals a significant hypocrisy within the party. While they condemn the Department of Justice (DOJ) as being politicized and biased when pursuing Trump-related cases, they simultaneously demand the prosecution of Biden's son as just. This contradiction highlights the selective outrage in Republican rhetoric, showing that their demands for law and order apply only when it serves their interests. The inconsistency in their views on the DOJ's legitimacy reflects a broader trend of prioritizing political gain over the principle of justice.
