‘What Does That Feel Like?’: CNN Host Makes Dem Rep Watch Video Of Himself Saying Biden Would Never Pardon Hunter

CNN host Brianna Keilar asked Democratic Rep. Dan Goldman of New York Monday how he felt about past reassurances that President Joe Biden would not issue a pardon to his son Hunter Biden.

Biden announced the pardon in a statement released by the White House Sunday night, alleging that Hunter had been “singled out” while alleging “political opponents” were seeking to “break” both him and his son in the courts. Keilar asked Goldman about what Biden said before playing the clip.

“What does that feel like watching yourself back then reassuring people that Biden was not going to issue a pardon for his son?” Keilar asked Goldman, who had said he “did not think there was any chance” Biden would pardon his son.

“I think that if that plea agreement and that plea deal had gone through there would be no pardon. That was a satisfactory outcome,” Goldman said, prompting Keilar to press him about the timeline.

The plea bargain Hunter Biden reached with special counsel David Weiss collapsed after United States District Judge Maryellen Noreika questioned the arrangement during a July 26, 2023 hearing.

“I hear what you‘re saying about the Kash Patel appointment, but you know you took him at his word so what does that feel like, knowing that he’s gone back on it?” Keilar asked.
