By Jason Cohen -All News Pipeline
Radio host Charlamagne Tha God challenged a caller on Tuesday who defended President Joe Bidens decades-long political career and recent pardon of his son, Hunter Biden.
BidenpardonedHunter on Sunday following months of pledging that he would not intervene after a Delaware juryconvictedhis son in June. A caller on The Breakfast Club justified the pardon by saying Biden realized after a long career of service that his family was most important, butCharlamagneargued the presidents policies have harmed many American families.

Man, Im a father of six two boys, four girls. Joe Biden had 40 years in office serving all of us It took him that long to understand that his family was most important, so thats what he had to take care of, the caller said. Hes 80 years old, man. He got to look out for his family, man. He aint bout to die and his son in prison. Come on, man. Im gone.
Well, youre wrong about him being yes, hes been in politics for that long, but hes ruined a lot of families because of legislation like the 86 Anti-Drug Abuse Act, which introduced mandatory minimum sentences for crack cocaine, and the 94 Crime Bill, Charlamagne responded. Hes the proud author of those bills, so he ruined a lot of families with that type of legislation.
Biden co-sponsored theAnti-Drug Abuse Actof 1988, which strengthened prison sentences for drug possession. He also authored the1994 crime bill, which some experts say contributed to systemic racism.
Charlamagne also suggested Biden should pardon everybody in federal prison for a nonviolent weed offense, claiming it would help [his] legacy, which is in shambles right now.
Bidenannouncedin Oct. 2022 that he was pardoning all prior federal offenses of simple marijuana possession, saying no one should be in jail just for using or possessing marijuana. He later expanded the pardons 2023,accordingto the Justice Department.
The radio hosttoldThe New York Times in May that black voters may shift to supporting then-former President Donald Trump in part due to the criminal justice reform he passed as president. TrumpsignedthebipartisanFirst Step Act in 2018, which sought to shorten sentences for nonviolent drug offenders.
Theres people who actually saw family members and people they love actually get out of prison, Charlamagne said at the time.
You cannot bring up President Biden without talking about the 86 mandatory minimum sentencing, the 88 crack laws and the 94 crime bill, he added. If people go back andwatchmy conversation with Joe Biden on The Breakfast Club, I said to him, the 94 crime bill led to mass incarceration and he goes, no, it was mandatory minimum sentencing, and I go, yeah, and you were behind that one too!
Biden asserted that Hunter was singled out in the legal process due to their relationship in hisstatementannouncing the pardon.Charlamagnerefutedthe claim on Monday, saying Hunter was singled out because he broke the law and had an illegal gun and tax evasion charges.
The radio host also claimed Monday that Democrats lack moral superiority over Republicans after Biden issued the pardon.
I just want Democrats to stop acting like they are on this moral high ground politically when they have shown us theyre not. You know, whether its skipping the primary process when Biden had stepped down and things like Biden pardoning his son, he said. Stop acting like yall are the pure party and Republicans arent.
Moreover, Charlamagnequestionedwhether Biden ever genuinely thought Trump was a threat to democracy or a fascist due to the presidentsrhetoricfollowing the president-elects victory.
