British journalist Piers Morgan and liberal streamer and YouTuber Destiny debated President Joe Biden’s decision to pardon his son Hunter on Wednesday, with Destiny saying the “high moral ground” won over the Democratic Party. I questioned this.
Since Biden announced Sunday that he had pardoned Hunter, reaction from Democrats has been mixed, with some opposing the decision and others supporting it. On “Piers Morgan Uncensored,” Destiny insisted that Biden’s decision was made in “common sense” after President-elect Donald Trump nominated Kash Patel to head the FBI. , causing Mr. Morgan to criticize Mr. Destiny’s behavior.
“Destiny, you seem so calm about all of this, but I think you’re hurting inside, because what Joe Biden did with the stroke of a pen is what Democrats will do with Trump for the next four years.” Because he took away any high moral ground that he might have had against him,” Morgan said. “Because President Trump can now pardon whoever he wants. He can pardon all the protesters on January 6th, and he can pardon people like you. The moment you think, “This is outrageous,” you can do it if you have solid knowledge. How is that possible? ” he said. At least they went to jail. ” Hunter Biden never worked a day. ”
Fate responded.
“Two of the easiest questions in the world. Piers, for one, if Hunter doesn’t pardon, do you think that will affect Trump’s decision and who he pardons next?” Destiny asked. .
Morgan tried to answer Destiny’s first question. However, the liberal streamer quickly pushed back and the two ended up talking over each other once Morgan regained control of the conversation.

“Hold on, let me answer number one first. I’ll answer number one. Come on number two,” Morgan said. “What I want to say to you is that if he does, and I’m sure he will, there’s a way for you on the left to show some high moral ground right now. Not at all, because your man, the president, has done much worse.
“What is a high moral ground?” asked Fate. “We are missing out on Supreme Court nominations. We lost the presidency in 2000 to another Supreme Court. Presidents now have unlimited impunity. For example, the moral high ground. What has it done for the Democratic Party so far? There’s no point in engaging in norms if only one side is following them.”
The two sides continue to wrangle over pardons for former Trump aides Stephen Bannon and Roger Stone, with Destiny suggesting Hunter Biden’s crimes don’t compare.

But Democrats and others have criticized Biden and his staff for previously insisting they would not pardon Hunter before leaving office.
