By Pardoning His Son Hunter, Biden Fails a Spiritual Test
I have been asked what my spiritual or ethical take is on the controversies surrounding pardons. Of particular interest is President Biden granting his son what looks to be an even better deal than getting a Monopoly game ‘Get Out of Jail, Free’ card. Specifically, my readers want to know if I would have pardoned Hunter if he were my child.
