According to \u200dCapehart, the pardon was influenced by then-President-elect Donald Trump&#8217;s actions and statements, which created pressure for Biden to act. Capehart suggests that Biden&#8217;s\u2064 pardon \u2063was also\u200c impacted by the vice-presidential candidacy of Kamala Harris, implying \u200bthat her loss in the elections made Hunter Biden more vulnerable to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/no-2-democrat-senator-explains-why-he-changed-his-mind-on-abortion\/\" title=\"No. 2 Democrat Senator Explains Why He Changed His Mind on Abortion\">potential legal repercussions<\/a> from trump. The article notes the backlash against Biden&#8217;s pardon from othre Democrats,highlighting concerns about its implications for Biden&#8217;s legacy,while a few\u2062 supporters\u200b attempt to justify the decision. \u200dThe piece critiques Capehart&#8217;s claims, calling into question the lack of \u2062evidence presented for his assertions.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Liberal Media Scream: PBS TDS blames Trump for Hunter Biden&rsquo;s pardon<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1907182\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>This week&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/washington-secrets\/3247224\/liberal-media-scream-joe-scarborough-back-to-attacking-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Liberal Media Scream<\/a> features tax-dollar-supported PBS behind the latest <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/opinion\/2303648\/trump-derangement-syndrome\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Trump&nbsp;Derangement Syndrome<\/a> claim that the incoming president caused <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/joe-biden\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">President Joe Biden<\/a> to flip-flop and pardon his son Hunter Biden of felony charges.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>Sounding more like a practiced Democratic Party spokesman than a journalist, commentator Jonathan Capehart said on <em>PBS NewsHour<\/em> that Joe Biden had no choice but to pardon his son because President-elect Donald Trump wanted to throw the book at Hunter Biden, who has been caught up in gun and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/fact-check-was-donald-trump-cleared-of-all-charges-in-the-new-york-tax-investigation\/\" title=\"FACT CHECK: Was Donald Trump Cleared Of All Charges In The New York Tax Investigation?\">tax cases<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>He also appeared to blame Vice President Kamala Harris for the pardon, suggesting that her loss cleared the way for Trump to target the younger Biden.<\/p>\n<p>Winging it as usual without any evidence, the <em>Washington Post<\/em> columnist and PBS regular said: &ldquo;I am almost certain, 99% certain, that President Biden was hoping that Vice President Harris would win and that this would not be an issue.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>The president&rsquo;s pardon has been condemned by many Democrats, and it threatens to ruin what&rsquo;s left of Biden&rsquo;s presidential legacy.
