Sanders says Biden pardoning son Hunter sets ‘dangerous’ precedent

Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., says that President Joe Biden’s decision to pardon his son Hunter sets a dangerous “precedent” for future presidents.

“I think two things: When you have his opponents going after his family, as a father, as a parent, I think we can all understand Biden trying to protect his son and his family,” Sanders said on NBC News’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday.

“On the other hand, I think the precedent being set is kind of a dangerous one,” he added. “It was a very wide open pardon which could, under different circumstances, lead to problems in terms of future presidents.”
