President Joe Biden claimed on Sunday that he had run a campaign free from scandal and critics were quick to point out the errors in that particular statement.
&#8220;We&#8217;ve run a campaign that&#8217;s basically scandal free. That&#8217;s hard to do in American politics these days,&#8221; Biden said.
Biden made the comments during the Democratic National Committee&#8217;s holiday reception in Washington, D.C. — where he also weighed in on the possible political future of Vice President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-tells-kamala-youre-not-going-anywhere-kid-amid-speculation-about-vps-future">Kamala Harris</a>.
The Trump War Room&#8217;s Jacob Schneider posted a brief clip from the event along with a caption that read, &#8220;BIDEN: &#8216;We&#8217;ve run a campaign that&#8217;s basically scandal free. That&#8217;s hard to do in American politics.&#8217; (Except covering up his obvious cognitive decline, peddling his family&#8217;s influence, hiding classified documents, etc etc etc).&#8221;

Critics pushed back on Biden&#8217;s claim, laying out a few details that they thought he must have missed when making his assessment.

Biden raised eyebrows just last week when, just days after issuing a sweeping pardon to his embattled son Hunter Biden, he <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-announces-mass-commutations-after-criticism-over-hunter-pardon" target="_blank" rel="noopener">commuted some 1500 sentences</a> in one day.
As The Daily Wire previously reported:
<blockquote>In addition to those granted clemency, Biden said he was also pardoning 39 people convicted of non-violent crimes, including drug offenses. In total, the White House said that Biden’s actions “represent the largest single-day grant of clemency in modern history.”</blockquote>
