Hunter Biden Guilty Verdict: Joe Biden Says He Will Not Pardon Son and Will 'Respect the Judicial Process'

President Joe Biden has now reacted to his son, Hunter Biden's guilty verdict, and has accepted the jury's decision and respects it. He has previously vowed not to pardon his son and is making good on that promise so far.

"As I said last week, I am the president, but I am also a dad," said Biden in a statement soon after his son's guilty verdict was announced. "Jill and I love our son, and we are so proud of the man he is today. So many families who have had loved ones battle addiction understand the feeling of pride seeing someone you love come out the other side and be so strong and resilient in recovery."

"As I also said last week, I will accept the outcome of this case and will continue to respect the judicial process as Hunter considers an appeal. Jill and I will always be there for Hunter and the rest of our family with our love and support," he added. "Nothing will ever change that."

According to CBS News, Biden was at the White House when the guilty verdict was handed down by a Delaware jury. While the president was doing his duties in DC, other Biden family members were present in Delaware to show support at the trial. The elder Biden had mostly distanced himself from the case.

Hunter Biden was convicted on three felony gun charges in a federal court in Delaware last Tuesday, with the jury finding that he did illegally buy and possess a gun while he was addicted to crack cocaine. This was a violation of federal law, as drug addicts are barred from owning guns,

Hunter Biden Guilty Verdict Discredits Several Donald Trump Claims

Meanwhile, the guilty verdict against Hunter Biden has more than likely debunked several Donald Trump claims that he was unfairly treated in New York.

As CNN pointed out, Donald Trump repeatedly insisted that he could not receive a fair verdict in a city that votes mostly Democratic like New York. However, Hunter Biden, the son of a Democratic president, was also found guilty in deep-blue Delaware, with the issue of politics never coming up in the deliberations.

Even though Politics was never mentioned throughout the hearings, should Hunter Biden have been acquitted, Republicans were likely to have argued that there was a biased jury and that Biden had a hand in that acquittal. However, the Biden guilty verdict has proven their narratives wrong as the president could have interfered and could have issued a pre-emptive pardon to his son but did not.

MAGA Moves the Goal Post To Spin Hunter Biden Guilty Verdict

With many of their talking points soon debunked, MAGA Republicans are now making excuses and moving the goalpost as they come up with completely different arguments in an effort to spin it to look like Biden orchestrated his son's guilty verdict to look good in the election.

Former White House policy advisor Stephen Miller tried to spin it by saying that Hunter Biden's conviction is part of a plot to avoid pursuing foreign agent charges that would lead back to Biden, claiming that this is an "easy op for DOJ to sell to a pliant media that is all too willing to be duped. Don't be gaslit. This is all about protecting Joe Biden and only Joe Biden."

End Wokeness, a far-right account with over a million followers, also started spreading conspiracy theories, claiming that "Hunter Biden is a red herring. The real person of interest in the Ukraine bribery/laundering is the Big Guy. We all know exactly who that is."
