‘It Just Looks Corrupt’: MSNBC Analyst Says Biden’s Pardon Of Hunter Fuels Perception That ‘System Is Rigged’

MSNBC political analyst Elise Jordan said Monday that President Joe Biden’s pardon of his son Hunter Biden illustrates why numerous Americans believe “the system is rigged.”

The president’s Sunday pardon follows months of the claims that he would not intervene after a Delaware jury convicted Hunter Biden of knowingly possessing a firearm as a drug addict and making false statements on a purchase document. Jordan, on “Chris Jansing Reports,” argued the pardon appears “corrupt” and reinforces the perception that President-elect Donald Trump is no more dishonorable than the current president.

“Joe Biden has left the American rule of law system in a perilous position on the eve of the transfer of power. He has proclaimed and professed to care about protecting and upholding institutions, and with this move, it just looks corrupt,” Jordan said. “It looks like he cares more about using his political power to protect the powerful, in this case, his son … This is just in a nutshell exactly why so many Americans think the system is rigged and politicians are corrupt and they conflate what Biden did and Trump did, whether right or wrong.”

“That’s why, one of the many reasons that you saw the election go the way they did for Donald Trump and Americans were willing, after all of Donald Trump’s convictions, to give him another chance just because they think the whole system is rotten,” she continued. “And I also would just be shocked if President Trump now does not give blanket pardons to the January 6th rioters for what they did on January 6th.”
