Sunny Hostin and Joy Behar, cohosts of ABC News' THE VIEW, opened
Wednesday's broadcast of the midday talk show by defending former President Joe Biden's 11th-hour pardons for several of his family members.

Hostin and Behar, both of whom have repeatedly accused President Donald Trump

of weaponizing the Justice Department, made excuse after excuse for the blanket pardons Biden issued just moments prior to leaving the White House for the final time.

Hostin began the conversation by complaining about Trump's decision to pardon

nearly all of those who'd been charged in relation to January 6, claiming that it was out of bounds for him to pardon people who were guilty of "violence toward law enforcement".

Here's one for the leftists who keep insisting that the Jan6 attack on the Capitol was 'unprecedented' and that pardoning them was inappropriate because it's the one building in America immune from attack because it's some 'holy site of democracy' or something and that a crowd pushing inside the building was literally worse than 9/11, Hitler, Pearl Harbor, pancreatic cancer, the eruption of Mount Vesuvius, shark attacks, and AIDS:

In 2001, Bill Clinton commuted the sentences of Weather Underground members Linda Evans* and Susan Rosenberg,** who participated in the 1983 attempted assassination of Republican senators by bombing the U.S. Capitol. (There's
that precedent that leftists and their media enablers seem to have missed.)

And Clinton did so at the behest of Democrat Rep. Jerry Nadler (a man who is
at least 50% pants) and calls "Jan 6 the worst thing evah". This is the same Jerry Nadler who, in his role as House Judiciary chair, has been among the
most vocal in Congress in his fury at the Capitol chaos of January 6 and who outrageously compared it to Pearl Harbor and 9-11 in terms of its seriousness in American history. Yet radical leftists who actually bombed the Capitol and tried to assassinate members of Congress, he lobbied to have pardoned.



*In furtherance of her goal to "liberate America from white oppression", Linda Evans participated in a 1981 Brinks armored truck robbery, in which two police officers and a guard were killed. She was also convicted for conspiracy and malicious destruction in connection with eight bombings, including the 1983 United States Senate bombing.

**After living as a fugitive for three years, Susan Rosenberg was arrested in 1984 while in possession of a large cache of explosives and firearms,
including automatic weapons, and written plans for prospective violent attacks on government buildings and personnel. She was also sought as an accomplice in the 1979 prison escape of BLA terrorist and cop-killer Assata Shakur and in
the 1981 Brink's robbery that resulted in the deaths of two police officers
and a guard.

Note: Clinton also pardoned 16 members of FALN, a Puerto Rican terrorist group responsible for dozens of robberies, bombings, and other acts of violence. Weird how all the people who were having screaming meltdowns over Trump's pardon of "people who were guilty of violence toward law enforcement" seem to conveniently forget the history Democrats have of going easy on cop-killers
and assassins.


[Rest of this space left blank for moviePig to spin his latest fairy tale
about how that was somehow 'different'. Even though it occurred in the holy of holies-- the Capitol Building, the one structure in America that enjoys a post hoc exemption from the "mostly peaceful" rioting and destruction that had become de rigeuer and justified by the Left for the previous two years.]
