Meghan McCain lashed out at Democrats on Monday morning following President Joe Biden’s decision to pardon his son, Hunter Biden.
McCain, the daughter of the late Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), derided Hunter Biden as a “nepo baby” in a post on X, formerly called Twitter, where she wrote, “No one is above the law except the Presidents nepo baby is a helluva parting message for democrats.”
Meghan McCain, an outspoken critic of both Joe Biden and President-elect Donald Trump, was part of a bipartisan chorus of criticism that was unleashed following the president’s weekend announcement.
Trump questioned Biden’s move in a post on Truth Social, where he wrote, “Does the Pardon given by Joe to Hunter include the J-6 Hostages, who have now been imprisoned for years? Such an abuse and miscarriage of Justice!”
Despite previously reassuring people he had no plans to issue his son amnesty over a slate of federal gun and tax charges, Biden surprised the public by pardoning his legally embattled son at the tail end of Thanksgiving weekend.
In a statement announcing his decision, the president accused his political enemies of “selectively and unfairly” going after his youngest son.
“Here’s the truth: I believe in the justice system, but as I have wrestled with this, I also believe raw politics has infected this process and it led to a miscarriage of justice,” the departing Democrat said.
“I hope Americans will understand why a father and a President would come to this decision,” his statement concluded.
