FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SALT LAKE CITY, UT — Today, UTGOP Chair Rob Axson released the following statement about President Biden's blanket pardon of Hunter Biden:
Joe Biden’s pardon of his son Hunter is both hypocritical and unsurprising—considering his consistent hubris and condescending behavior while in office. After repeated promises not to issue a pardon, Biden didn’t just pardon his son for the crimes of which he was convicted but of crimes known and unknown for the last eleven years. It certainly makes you wonder what Joe Biden knows that we don’t about Hunter’s illegal activity and potential influence peddling of his family. The American people are now denied the opportunity to find out what crimes against our country have occurred. Joe Biden may have the authority to pardon his son, but his blanket pardon does so at great cost to our democracy and offends the spirit of the Founders’ intent when they created it.
