Why did Don Lemon call an emergency broadcast about Hunter Biden’s pardon?
All right, everybody, welcome to, I guess you can call it an emergency broadcast. Yes, you can. I had to get on because I did not go live today because there was something else that I wanted to show you to get on. And I thought that I could just sum it up for you a little bit during a taped take, as I call it. But I got to tell you, Democrats, stop your damn whining. Stop your effing whining. What are you doing? You're Democrats right now. are about to make me become a Republican. They are whining and freaking out about this whole Hunter Biden pardon. Democrats, this is how you lose. You have a whole person who is about to be president of the United States who incited an insurrection. who has criminal counts against him that are about to be dropped or already dropped.
I'm not even sure where that is. There's so many of these cases going on. What are you doing? And what is the news media doing? Just like, just browbeating people who come on. How do you feel now? You said that Hunter Biden, yes, presidents, have the prerogative. It is their prerogative to be able to pardon whoever they want. And they've been doing it forever. And people have been upset about it forever. But guess what? They can do it. They've got the right to do it. And if you think that Joe Biden or someone, a president, is not going to pardon their kid, are you out of your damn mind? Are you crazy? What is wrong with you guys? Hasn't MAGA taught you that this is not about integrity? This is not about morals anymore.
This is about power. This is about winning elections at all costs so that you can what? You can get your agenda done. Stop your fucking whining. Stop going on television talking shit about Joe Biden. And oh my gosh, these are so democratic principles and how are we going to talk to Republicans and how are we going to convince Republicans that what Donald Trump did was wrong? Are you kidding me? You're never going to convince MAGA that. That is never, ever going to happen. They're not going to listen. They're going to laugh at you. And they're laughing at you now because you're doing exactly what they say you do all the time. Democrats whine, they wet the bed, and they tuck their tails. Stop it. Go out there with one message, Democrats, and say, hey, guess what?
Joe Biden finally did something that I approve of, that everyone thought he should do. Because who wants to lead their kid up to a Donald Trump Justice Department? Are you kidding me? Do you actually think the man is going to do that? Did you read what he said? He's right. If his name wasn't Biden, he would not be prosecuted. He would not be in this position. But the guy's name is Biden. Did he do something wrong? Absolutely. But people who usually do stuff wrong like this, this doesn't happen for them. This does not happen.
What are the immediate reactions from Democrats and the media to the pardon?
So Democrats, you're going to make me become a Republican just to frickin' go against you. Like, what is wrong with you guys? I don't understand it. Well, okay, look, I love Tim Miller. I love Tim Miller over at the Bulwark with all of my heart. He's in my home state of Louisiana. I usually agree with him on 99% of the things. We went back and forth on text last night. And then I guess finally at the end, may have gotten it right i think he got it right because i told tim i said tim this isn't about politics let me let me hear tim and i don't want to beat up on tim this is not beating up on tim but we've got to stop this guys the people who are independents who are in the middle who i believe are sane who i believe actually do have integrity who i do actually believe are
patriots who do care about the rule of law. I didn't even see you there, Tara, because I'm going off. This is pissing me off, Tara. Oh, my gosh. Okay, let's hang up. Tara, I know you have something to say. Let's listen to Tim. And I couldn't disagree more with Tim. I don't know if he's changed today, if he's seen the light. But here's Tim last night.
With the bulwark, and I've got Sam Stein with us, and Sam might think it's funny, but I think it'll be a little bit less of a joking matter for me tonight.
