Not all Democrats are happy about Joe Biden pardoning his own son. In fact, according to a report by Axios on Thursday, some are so furious that it could have a major impact on funding for Biden’s presidential library.
Axios writes:
President Biden’s post-presidency now looks as bleak as his brutal final months.
Some top Democrats tell us they’re so furious about Biden’s abrupt, clumsy pardon of his son Hunter that they’re threatening to withhold donations from his future presidential library.
“If they had their sh*t together, they would have been doing the work on this over the summer — right after he announced he was stepping aside,” one well-wired Democrat told us. “Now, it’s just too late. Hopefully they are rightsizing their expectations and budget!”
Why it matters: Biden, 82, will limp away from the limelight — widely disliked by the public, and now loathed by many Democrats who blame him for twin sins of selfishness: running again, then pardoning Hunter after repeatedly saying he wouldn’t.
“Even Biden’s best friends think it was nuts to pardon Hunter as a solo act on the same evening he left for a long-promised three-day trip to Africa,” Axios wrote.
More pardons are coming, according to comments made by White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre while aboard Air Force One during the flight to Angola on Monday.
Biden’s presidential library is expected to be built in Delaware. Axios reported that two very close aides, deputy chief of staff Annie Tomasini and Anthony Bernal, First Lady Jill Biden’s top adviser, will be taking the lead on planning for the library.
But, based on the outrage against Biden by some top Democrats, the project will not exactly be flooded with funds.
