The View host's embarrassing attempt to defend Biden pardoning Hunter

The View co-host Ana Navarro-Cárdenas made an embarrassing blunder while trying to defend President Joe Biden’s pardoning of his son, Hunter Biden.

She mentioned how Bill Clinton pardoned his brother, Roger, and Donald Trump did the same with his daughter’s father-in-law, Charles Kushner, who he recently nominated to be the Ambassador to France. 

‘But tell me again how Joe Biden “is setting precedent?”‘ she wrote. 

But the host made a blunder when she opened her post with the statement: ‘Woodrow Wilson pardoned his brother-in-law, Hunter deButts.’

Wilson does not appear to be related to anyone named Hunter deButts, as online sleuth Zach Parkinson discovered when he went on a deep dive on X. 

‘45,000 likes on this post, but no one seems to have noticed that the first example is fake,’ he wrote on Tuesday morning.

Since then, a Community Note has been added to her post, stating: ‘There is no evidence that Woodrow Wilson had a brother-in-law named “Hunter DeButts.”

‘While at least one person by that name was living during Wilson’s presidency, there is nothing to suggest any relation, or that they were pardoned—the only result is this tweet.’ 

Despite being very active on X since tweeting in defense of Biden, Navarro-Cárdenas has yet to retract or edit her post, which had more than 2.4 million views as of late Tuesday afternoon. 

When his administration was asked countless times before if Biden would pardon his trouble son, they had repeatedly said he wouldn’t. 

However, Biden made the shock announcement Sunday night that he would issue a presidential pardon for Hunter, calling his prosecution ‘selective’ and ‘unfair.’

The bombshell U-turn decision will see Hunter get pardoned for any crimes he may have committed ‘from January 1, 2014 through December 1, 2024.’ 

Biden, himself, said as recently as June that, unlike Trump who has outright said he wants to pardon January 6 rioters.

‘From the day I took office, I said I would not interfere with the Justice Department’s decision-making, and I kept my word even as I have watched my son being selectively, and unfairly, prosecuted,’ Biden said in a statement. 

The president claimed that people are ‘almost never brought to trial on felony charges solely for how they filled out a gun form… It is clear that Hunter was treated differently.’

Biden raged against ‘several of my political opponents in Congress’ who he claimed made the charges a public spectacle ‘to attack me and oppose my election.’

He added that the plea deal Hunter, who has since pledged to ‘make amends’ for his crimes, agreed to with the Department of Justice was a ‘fair, reasonable resolution of Hunter’s cases.’ But that deal fell through at the last minute under political pressure.

‘No reasonable person who looks at the facts of Hunter’s cases can reach any other conclusion than Hunter was singled out only because is my son – and that is wrong,’ he continued.

Biden said that there had been an effort to ‘break Hunter’ and destroy what he says is five-and-a-half years of sobriety.

‘In trying to break Hunter, they’ve tried to break me – and there’s no reason to believe it will stop here. Enough is enough.’

The president didn’t shy away from pointing out that the love of his son guided his decision-making, but stressed that he was being ‘fair-minded.’

‘Here’s the truth: I believe in the justice system, but as I have wrestled with this, I also believe raw politics has infected this process and it led to a miscarriage of justice – and once I made this decision this weekend, there was no sense in delaying it further.’

Hunter was last seen on holiday with his father and the rest of the Bidens on Nantucket in Rhode Island.
