President Joe Biden’s decision to pardon his son, Hunter, has sparked a heated debate between British journalist Piers Morgan and liberal streamer Destiny. On “Piers Morgan Uncensored,” the two clashed over the implications of this move, with Morgan accusing the Democrats of losing the moral high ground and Destiny questioning the effectiveness of upholding norms.
Morgan wasted no time in calling out Destiny’s nonchalant attitude towards Biden’s decision, stating, “You seem very phlegmatic about all this, Destiny, but inside you must be hurting.” He went on to argue that by pardoning Hunter, Biden has taken away any chance for the Democrats to criticize former President Donald Trump’s pardon of his associates such as Roger Stone and Steve Bannon.
Destiny fired back, asking Morgan if he believed that not pardoning Hunter would have any influence on Trump’s decision to pardon others. The conversation quickly became heated, with the two talking over each other as Morgan attempted to answer Destiny’s questions.
Morgan pointed out that the Democrats have no moral high ground left, as Trump now has infinite criminal immunity and can pardon anyone he chooses. Destiny, however, countered that the Democrats have not gained anything by upholding norms in the past, citing the loss of a Supreme Court pick in 2000.
Biden defended his decision by stating that Hunter was “singled out” because of his relationship to the president. However, this action has received criticism, as Biden and his staff previously insisted that he would not pardon Hunter before leaving office.
The conversation also touched upon Trump’s pardons of his associates, with Destiny arguing that the crimes committed by Hunter were not comparable. However, Morgan questioned the logic behind this argument, stating that the Democrats could have criticized Trump’s pardons if they had not pardoned Hunter.
In the end, the two could not find common ground, with Morgan asserting that the Democrats’ decision to pardon Hunter has only weakened their position in the moral argument.
This clash between Piers Morgan and Destiny highlights the rift between the two sides of the political spectrum, with the Democrats losing ground while the Republicans gain strength. As Biden’s presidency continues, it remains to be seen how this decision will affect the Democrats’ future.
