1. Self rightious

SOB. That is all(Bennett)

[yardwork]

2. Typical wishy-washy crap from Democrats.

I'm glad that Joe pardoned his son.

[ismnotwasm]

3. Oh republicans, you don't have to pretend anymore.

The rapist piece of shit this country elected lives in the sludge of a moral basement, as does anyone who supports him.

[Clouds Passing]

4. You are an honorable father Joe Biden!

Slither your sorry ass back to hell bennet or is it Benito.

[Jit423]

30. If he hadn't pardoned Hunter, once Biden is out of office the MAGAs would accuse him of not thinking enough of his own

son to pardon him. And that Trump would not have left his sons hanging with those charges hanging around their necks.

[Blue Full Moon]

5. Where was he when Trump pardoned his cronies.

Now trying to install them in his administration. What about a felon with 34 counts of fraud? He would not have ever been allowed a security clearance. Should have never been allowed to run as president.

[dalton99a]

7. Or his son-in-law's father

[JohnSJ]

8. Exactly. Let's see him deal with the sociopath that will soon occupy the WH.

[Ocelot II]

6. Michael Bennett can fuck right off.

Joe pardoned Hunter precisely because the justice system was not "fair and equal" where Hunter was concerned.

[dalton99a]

9. Now Michael Bennet can feel pure and morally superior

[Ursus Rex]

10. LOL, this guy needs to brace himself for squawking pointlessly the next 4 years.

What Earth has be been living on for the last 8+ years?? And who does he think his posturing will impress? This is why the Democrats lose, because so many act like winning is some kind of offensive act.

[La Coliniere]

11. Biden's duty was to pardon his son.

Period full stop.

[EarlG]

12. And to think, he could have said nothing at all

As the twice-impeached convicted felon Donald Trump prepares to take office for the second time, Sen. Bennet pegs JOE BIDEN as the president who "eroded Americans’ faith that the justice system is fair and equal for all."

Way to go.

13. JUST STFU ALREADY

How much more does Biden have to sacrifice for this country? Decades of service? Losing his son? Stepping aside for the good of the country? Being the butt of old age jokes and abuse? Getting us on the road to physical and emotional recovery after the worst pandemic in 100 years? The list could go on and on. All this man has ever done -- whether you like him or not -- is selflessly give his all to this country.

Now he pardons his son -- for crimes that would have never amounted to the punishment and attention they would have received if his name wasn't Biden. Do you honestly think that the vendetta against Hunter would have ended once the convicted felon 47 takes office?

As far as the argument that Biden has now permitted Trump's future pardon abuse, wake up! He needs no permission or encouragement!

Now Biden's been declared "a disgrace" "a hypocrite" and betraying the "rule of law."

Shame on those who buy into this regardless of party. History will judge this too.

24. President Biden has no more fucks to give

I doubt if he cares anymore about what the media, repukes or even Dems think/say about him.

[Autumn]

14. That's okay Bennet. You've done that for a long time, in your go along to get along desire to work

with republicans who fuck over the people all they can in order to placate the wealthy.

[Blue Full Moon]

15. Or is he a republican that is trying to control the opposition?

[Autumn]

21. No. he's trying to herd Democrats to meet republicans more than half way.

As many do.

[Blue Full Moon]

29. The democrats always just give in

While the republicans don't compromise. Which is precisely a "democrat" guiding to a republican view point.

[RockRaven]

16. What faith? That was obliterated long ago. Try and keep current, Senator.

[SickOfTheOnePct]

17. No one should be surprised

that President Biden pardoned his son. I wish he hadn’t said repeatedly that he wouldn’t, but it is what it is.

[SunSeeker]

18. Good grief. Is Bennet claiming the prosecution of Hunter was NOT politically motivated?

Or that these charges are ever brought against any other person besides Hunter?

These charges eroded Americans' faith in the Justice system.

[Mike 03]

19. Senator Bennet has always been so courageous when it comes

to making public his dislike or disdain for President Biden. Not so much when it comes to standing up against the MAGA fascism machine.

CNN: Bennet becomes first Democratic senator to publicly turn on Biden, warning of a GOP ‘landslide’

Bennet's selective outrage really bothers me. He's sat in the cushy senate for a very long time. Other than one speech he made many years ago when he was out of f*cks to give, he's not known for anything. Meanwhile, Joe Biden has given everything a human being can give. And THIS... THIS is what has agitated Bennet?

Doesn't give me a lot of faith our party knows what it is doing.

[Ocelot II]

26. Bennet ran against him in the 2020 primary, didn't get very far.

Maybe he's still butthurt.

[FloridaBlues]

20. Once again Democrats eating their own. We are very good at that.

How about saying this in private to Pres Biden.
So glad Hunter is pardoned.

[City Lights]

22. Bite me, Bennett.

If you don't want presidents to have pardon power, then write and pass a law that removes such power.

[MineralMan]

23. Besa mi culo, Bennet!

That is all.

[Horse with no Name]

25. Fuck off Bennett

Go stand in the corner and wring your hands

[DinahMoeHum]

27. GTFOff your high horse, Senator

[madaboutharry]

28. Well, that was disappointing.

Sen. Bennet does have a tendency to get self-righteous and holier than thou.

Note: I actually met him and talked with him during the primaries when he ran for president. He seemed very down to earth, a regular guy, the kind of person who reminds you of the nice neighbor who keeps his yard kept well.

That said, I have listened to heard him plenty of times on TV when he comes off sounding judgmental.

I think he is 100% wrong about this. The whole prosecution of Hunter Biden from beginning to end was driven by politics and was complete bullshit.

Good for Joe Biden giving him a pardon. I wish Hunter good health and much happiness.

31. The Dudley Doright mentality is one reason why we lose.

Meanwhile the other side is not shackled in the same way.
