Arizona’s politicians reacted to the news that President Joe Biden lied when he said he would not pardon his son Hunter.
Biden issued a sweeping pardon for his son after he repeatedly denied he would not do so.
In September Hunter pleaded guilty to the nine charges against him in a federal tax case, including three felony tax offenses and six misdemeanor tax offenses. He previously was found guilty of three felonies related to the illegal purchase of a firearm, according to various news reports.
Unless you're the criminal son of a corrupt president.
Then you get sweetheart plea deals and pardons for crimes spanning over a decade. https://t.co/xN1ofQY3oP

I respect President Biden, but I think he got this one wrong.
This wasn’t a politically-motivated prosecution. Hunter committed felonies, and was convicted by a jury of his peers. https://t.co/P31d4ILL1P

Joe Biden is leaving his presidency even more disgraced. A two-tiered justice system has no place in America.
No more lies. No more special treatment.
It’s time to restore law and order.

President Biden claimed the economy was thriving.
President Biden claimed the border was secure.
President Biden claimed he would not pardon his son.It seems the only thing President Biden is consistent on is not telling the American public the truth.
