Sanders: ‘We can all understand’ Hunter Biden pardon, but worried about ‘precedent’

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) said on Sunday that he thinks President Biden’s decision to pardon his son, Hunter, is understandable, but he expressed concern about the “precedent” it could set 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 began when asked on NBC News’s “Meet the Press” whether pardoning his son was the best choice Biden could have made for the country.
