The hosts of ABC&#8217;s &#8220;The View&#8221; — with one exception — celebrated President Joe Biden&#8217;s surprise decision to issue a blanket pardon to his embattled son Hunter, absolving him of any and all federal crimes that he may have committed over an 11-year period.
Co-host Whoopi Goldberg began the conversation during Monday&#8217;s broadcast — less than 24 hours after the White House announced that the pardon was coming — and she dismissed criticisms of the move by saying it was simply &#8220;a president&#8217;s prerogative&#8221; and should not matter because &#8220;we have a convicted felon as president.&#8221;

Alyssa Farah Griffin says that this proved to Americans &quot;that there&#39;s a different set of rules for folks in power.&quot; She also hints that she was stopped by ABC from asking Biden on the show if he planned to pardon Hunter, she calls him out for &quot;lying to the public&quot; about it. <a href="https://t.co/kS3a0ZYHKR">pic.twitter.com/kS3a0ZYHKR</a>

Co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin — the odd woman out — argued that Biden&#8217;s historically unprecedented decision to pardon his own son gave credence to critics who said there was a different justice system for the elites. She also suggested that she had wanted to ask Biden about a potential pardon for Hunter when he was on the show in recent weeks but was pushed away from doing so by the network.

Co-host Sunny Hostin suggested that there was no fault in the pardon itself — and that the hypocrites were the people who believed Biden was abusing his power by granting it. She also reverted to Goldberg&#8217;s argument, suggesting that because the American people had elected &#8220;a convicted felon&#8221; like Trump, Biden&#8217;s abuse of power no longer mattered.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
Hostin blames Trump for Joe Biden lying about pardoning Hunter: &quot;I think one of the reasons why he didn&#39;t admit it earlier because he didn&#39;t know the felon-in-chief would become the next president.&quot; Whoopi tries to cut off the conversation about Joe being a liar. <a href="https://t.co/XBlGgfBx99">pic.twitter.com/XBlGgfBx99</a>

Hostin also argued that Biden wasn&#8217;t really lying about not pardoning Hunter, claiming that he had intended not to until Trump was elected. &#8220;I think one of the reasons why he didn&#8217;t admit it earlier was because he didn&#8217;t know the felon-in-chief would become the next president,&#8221; she said.
Ana Navarro weighed in next, referring to Hunter as Biden&#8217;s &#8220;only surviving son&#8221; and saying she had been personally lobbying Biden to pardon Hunter for some time.

Speaking to Hunter, Navarro boasts: &quot;Hunter, your dad has given you a great, great gift, the gift of freedom, and taking this weight off your shoulders.&quot; &quot;I hope now Hunter gives his dad a gift, the gift of being a good son, a good father,&quot; she adds. Hunter abandoned his daughter <a href="https://t.co/uiRgroyOab">pic.twitter.com/uiRgroyOab</a>

&#8220;Hunter, your dad has given you a great, great gift, the gift of freedom, and taking this weight off your shoulders,&#8221; Navarro continued. &#8220;I hope now Hunter gives his dad a gift, the gift of being a good son, a good father.&#8221;
Navarro left out the fact that Hunter Biden has a child he hardly acknowledges.
Goldberg backtracked to defend Biden again for reneging on his promise not to pardon Hunter, arguing, &#8220;I think Biden had no intentions of pardoning Hunter,&#8221; until Trump was elected.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
Whoopi RAGES at people upset about Joe pardoning Hunter: &quot;He&#39;s the president, the sitting president, and he can do whatever he wants to&#8230; I can&#39;t believe this is what&#39;s freaking people out! &#8230;What&#39;s good for the goose is good for the gander.

&#8220;He&#8217;s the president, the sitting president, and he can do whatever he wants to,&#8221; Goldberg scolded, adding, &#8220;I can&#8217;t believe this is what&#8217;s freaking people out!&#8221;
