  • Hunter Biden's case was always outrageously partisan, but his pardon inevitably casts a harsh light on President Biden's past as a proponent of the War on Drugs.

The article from The Real News Network discusses the controversy surrounding Hunter Biden's pardon for a drug-related offense in 1988, juxtaposed against his father, President Joe Biden's, long-standing policies that have contributed to mass incarceration in the United States. It highlights the irony and perceived hypocrisy in Joe Biden's criminal justice reform efforts, given his historical support for laws like the 1994 Crime Bill, which many argue exacerbated racial disparities in incarceration. The piece critiques Biden's recent moves towards criminal justice reform, suggesting they are insufficient and come too late, especially when compared to the severe impact of his earlier policies on minority communities. The narrative also touches on the broader implications of such policies, including the ongoing effects of systemic racism and the challenges of true reform in the face of political and public opinion.
