FLASHBACK 2020: Democrats, Media Lose Their Minds Over Preemptive Pardons

Right before he left office, FORMER President Joe Biden issued preemptive pardons for family members, Lizzy Cheney, Fauci, and others.

Back in 2020, the Democrats and their friends in the mainstream media lost their minds because they just knew President Donald Trump would issue preemptive pardons for his family before he left office in January 2021.

Yeah, that didn’t happen.

At the end of Trump’s first term, the president reportedly floated preemptive pardons for friends and family members, including lawyer Rudy Guiliani. Schumer said his preemptive pardons “would be a gross abuse of the presidential pardon authority” during a speech on the Senate floor in December 2020.

I wonder if we’ll hear these people scream and moan, click here to listen to them say Trump can’t do what Biden did 15 minutes before leaving office.
