David Brooks on Hunter Biden Biden Pardon: Democracies Fall When Practices And Norms That Work Get Slowly Abandoned

New York Times columnist David Brooks and Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart join Geoff Bennett to discuss the week in politics, including President Biden's pardon of his son has drawn scrutiny from both sides of the aisle,
The article from RealClearPolitics features David Brooks discussing the implications of a potential Hunter Biden pardon by President Joe Biden. Brooks argues that democracies deteriorate not through sudden coups but through the gradual erosion of established norms and practices. He points out that if President Biden were to pardon his son, it would represent a significant breach of the norm that justice should be impartial, even for family members of high-ranking officials. Brooks emphasizes that such actions contribute to the public's cynicism about the fairness of the political and legal systems, potentially weakening democratic institutions. He also references historical examples where similar actions have led to the decline of democratic governance, suggesting that maintaining these norms is crucial for the health of democracy.
