president biden was in normandy today commemorating the 80th anniversary of d-day. while he was there he was asked about something totally unrelated. whether he would issue a pardon for his son hunter if he is convicted of felony gun vices. here is how he responded. as we sit here in normandy, your son hunter is on trial. let me ask you, will you accept the jury s outcome, their verdict, no matter what it is? yes. and have you ruled out a pardon for your son? yes. pretty clear answer there. but again, this is a yes or no question. and to be honest, it shouldn t be that hard to answer. joe biden as president with the power to pardon anyone he wants at the federal level will let his son go to prison if he is found guilty by a jury of his peers because that is how the american justice system is supposed to work. now compare that answer to former president donald trump s answer. on trump s last day in office, january 20th, 2021, he issued more than 70 pardons and there

speech on college campuses. all of these things are very much in the zeitgeist if not actually legislative solutions being sought by conservatives of the state level. when you understand the story of how roe fell like what was that, legislation to courts to law and american cultural transformation pipeline and you can understand okay, this makes some sense of these other big cultural transformative issues we are seeing play out and this other deluge of loss like you are mentioning. it is a blueprint and like i said, it is so comprehensive and the fact that you talked to the right about how they won the war or at least the battle makes it essential reading. the fall of rome is right now on bookshelves and kendall. thank you for being here tonight, ladies. that is our show for this evening. now, it s time for the last word with lawrence o donnell. good evening, alex. i just noticed adam schiff is here in his role as a member of that crazy house judiciary committee heari
the republican party s presidential front runner was convicted by a jury of his peers on 34 felony counts. that is the reality. the republican party must now grapple with that. if they were into reality. that is an issue. but what makes this all even more difficult for the gop is that trump s conviction has zero to do with president biden. trump was convicted in the case brought by a new york city prosecutor who does not report president biden. trump is facing another 10 criminal charges from another local prosecutor in georgia who does not report to president biden. even the two federal cases were brought by an independent special counsel who neither takes orders from coordinates with president biden. so donald trump has reacted the way he traditionally does when reality does not fit his preferred narrative. he lies about it. he claims that president biden is the one who is really pulling the strings. these are all biden cases. this is using the justice department to go af
