"The View": Joe Biden Didn't Lie About Hunter Pardon, But If He Did, It Was Trump's Fault, Part II

The hosts of ABC�s �The View� kicked off Tuesday�s broadcast with a
continuation of Monday�s vigorous defense of President Joe Biden � and his
decision to offer his embattled son, Hunter Biden, a sweeping pardon for any
crimes he committed or may have committed over an 11-year span.

Even as they complained about the �internal firing squad� of Democrats who
dared to criticize Biden for the historically unprecedented pardon, cohosts
Whoopi Goldberg and Sunny Hostin joined said �firing squad� to lay down cover
fire for the Bidens.

Goldberg began the discussion, complaining that Biden�s critics were the real
problem and arguing that because Biden had the power to pardon anyone he
wanted, no one should be allowed to question how he exercised that power.

�It is his right and he doesn�t have to explain to anybody,� Goldberg
insisted, saying that it was �hurtful for the American people� that anyone
would continue to question Biden�s decision.

WATCH:

Whoopi claims Dems "take the moral ground all the time" and lashes
out at Dems who are speaking out against Biden's abuse of power:

Goldberg went on to complain about the Democrats speaking out against the
pardon, saying, �Democrats, you can�t have it both ways, you can�t have it
both ways. You can�t let people tell you you�re not taking the moral ground
when we take the moral ground all the time. We fight for migrant rights, for
women�s rights, gay folks� rights, trans rights, and every time we do,
suddenly we�re being told, oh, you on the woke agenda.�

�Either we are this party and we fight for these things and you see what�s
going on and you get why he�s decided to do this or you don�t,� Goldberg
continued. �But you don�t go out and chew up other Democrats. This is a big
problem, I feel, as a Democrat.�

Hostin joined in as well, saying that she also had a problem with the
�internal firing squad� that saw Democrats pitting themselves against
President Biden over this particular issue.

�It�s been really bothering me,� she said, and then pivoted to say that Biden
wasn�t lying when he � along with a number of people in his administration �
had repeatedly claimed that he would not pardon Hunter. Instead, she said his
180-degree reversal just showed that he �became the pragmatic president we
always knew.�

WATCH:

Hostin then engages in whataboutism and starts shouting about how
you're not allowed to call out Biden's lies because Trump has lied
too:
"So, if we want to talk about LYING, let's talk about THAT and stop
this PEARL-CLUTCHING about Joe Biden lying!"

Hostin then shifted gears to attack President-elect Donald Trump, arguing
that Joe Biden�s dishonesty was irrelevant because Trump lied.

�So, if we want to talk about LYING, let�s talk about THAT and stop this
PEARL-CLUTCHING about Joe Biden lying!� she scolded.
