President Joe Biden did not immediately offer a reaction to his son Hunter Biden's conviction on firearms charges. In a statement last week, the president emphasized the distinction between his personal role as a father and his duty as president. Biden stated, 'I am the President, but I am also a Dad.'
He went on to express his love and pride for his son, highlighting Hunter's resilience in the face of adversity and his strength in recovery. Biden acknowledged that many families have loved ones who have overcome addiction and can relate to their experiences.
As a father, Biden emphasized his boundless love, confidence, and respect for his son. He mentioned that their family has faced challenges together and that he and his wife, Jill, will continue to support Hunter and their family with love and encouragement.
In an interview, Biden stated that he would not pardon Hunter if he were to be convicted. The president's focus on his role as a father and his commitment to supporting his son during difficult times reflect his personal values and priorities.
