Senate Democrat Goes After Biden for ‘Middle of the Night’ Pardons of His Son and Others: ‘Makes No Sense’

A prominent Senate Democrat is criticizing President Joe Biden for pardoning his son Hunter Biden and others.

Appearing on CBS’ Face the Nation Sunday, Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) was confronted by moderator Margaret Brennan about the 39 pardons and the record 1,500 sentence commutations granted this week by Biden.

“Are you comfortable with some of these decisions?” Brennan asked.

“No,” Klobuchar said bluntly — adding that she specifically “didn’t agree with the pardon of the president’s son.”

“We should have some kind of an outside board that governors have,” Klobuchar said. “Governors have the ability to give mercy to people after years have gone by, but a lot of them have boards that make recommendations and other things, instead of people just doing it in the middle of the night and people in the White House. This makes no sense to me.”

The senator added that while she doesn’t believe all of those who were granted clemency were undeserving, there were some on the list of more than 1,500 which left her scratching her head.

“I have no doubt there were some righteous pardons in this group,” Klobuchar said. “Okay, let’s say that. Now I believe that there were. But there were a number that I think make no sense at all.”
