President Joe Biden and his family have been celebrating Thanksgiving on the isolated Massachusetts island of Nantucket for decades. This is also where Biden has made significant career decisions, including not running for president in 2016 after his son Beau’s death, and granting a controversial pardon to his son Hunter recently. After Hunter Biden’s conviction on federal gun and tax charges, Biden faced backlash and criticism for his decision to grant a full pardon to his son. The pardon has raised concerns about fairness, integrity, and potential political motivations given the impending return of former President Donald Trump to office. Biden’s decision to protect his son has stirred bipartisan criticism and may impact how he is remembered in history. The legacy of Joe Biden, shaped by his sons’ influence and the shadow of Trump, is further complicated by this controversial pardon. Despite empathy for a father wanting to help his child, Biden’s decision has divided Democrats and raised questions about fairness and justice in the legal system. The pardon of Hunter Biden stands out as unprecedented, raising concerns about the misuse of presidential powers at the expense of maintaining integrity and public trust.
