Charlamagne rips Dems over Biden pardon

Charlamagne Tha God thinks that Democrats can no longer claim any moral authority after President Joe Biden pardoned his son. 

During a visit to "The View" on Wednesday, the radio host fell into a heated debate with host Whoopi Goldberg over the president's decision to clear his son of several tax and gun-related charges. In particular, Charlamagne took offense at Biden's insistence that he w

He didn’t believe that, but he didn’t have to volunteer that lie to begin with."

Goldberg countered that Biden was flipping the table of a rigged game.

The president laid out his reasoning for pardoning Hunter Biden in a statement shared earlier this week. He said that his son was the victim of "raw politics" and that the cases against him were an attack from the GOP.

"In trying to break Hunter, they’ve tried to break me – and there’s no reason to believe it will stop here. Enough is enough."
