Ana Navarro, regular cohost of ABC’s “The View,” called on President Joe Biden to issue a handful of pardons — most of them “pre-emptive” — before President-elect Donald Trump takes office in January.
Navarro first said that Biden should go ahead with a pardon for his son, Hunter Biden, who has already been convicted on several gun and tax-related charges — and then claimed that he should offer “pre-emptive pardons” to Vice President Kamala Harris, January 6th Committee members, and former Reps. Liz Cheney (R-WY), Adam Kinzinger (R-IL), and to special prosecutor Jack Smith because she believed Trump was likely to try to have them prosecuted.
Navarro voiced her concerns via X on Thursday, saying, “Dear @JoeBiden, pardon Hunter before these clowns go after him to take revenge on you. And while you’re at it, give pre-emptive pardons to Liz Cheney, Kamala Harris, Adam Kinzinger, Jack Smith … and anybody else who may be on the enemies list of the promised retribution.”

Some critics pointed out the fact that a pre-emptive pardon would essentially be an admission that some crime had been committed by the person receiving it, while others commented on the hypocrisy of her pushing for those pardons when she would likely be among those claiming he was violating ethics and norms if Trump were to pardon a friend or ally.

“The ‘principles first’ and ‘but my norms’ crowd are the quickest to ditch them when they don’t get their way,” Newsbusters’ Nicholas Fondacaro posted.

“Just precious how they’re still pretending the Biden corruption scandal is about Hunter and not Joe,” Grabien founder Tom Elliott added.

Navarro had previously called for Biden to pardon Hunter during Monday’s broadcast of “The View,” arguing that because Trump was also convicted of felonies, his election win was like the American people issuing him a pardon of sorts.
“This is what I’m going to tell Joe — Joe, since they’re talking smack about you anyways, you know what? Maybe pardon Hunter. Pardon Hunter because we, basically America just pardoned a criminal who was convicted of felonies,” she said. “He’s probably going to pardon some of the folks from Jan. 6, those insurrectionists. So, you know what? It’s your son. He probably wouldn’t have been prosecuted if his last name wasn’t Biden. Baby, you got 2 1/2 months. I’m good with you pardoning Hunter.”
