CBS: pretty big, defiant public pronouncement KJP: 64% agree Pardon! except actually just 34% agree

CBS’s Ed O’Keefe: “One of the other things he often says is that voters should trust his, ‘word as a Biden.’ Should they still?”
KJP: “Yes, the President’s — the President’s —”
O’Keefe: “This was a pretty big, defiant public pronouncement by him that he wasn’t going to do this.”
KJP: “I hear you and I understand — um — but the President wrestled with this. He truly did, and, you know, I — I called out the USGov poll, where 64 percent of Americans, that’s not a small number, agree with the President’s decision to pardon his son, and I think that gives you a little bit of a tiny window of where the American people are on this.”

But according to the poll, it was 64% of Democrats who supported the pardon. Of the American people, only 34% “strongly” or “somewhat” approved of the pardon, while 50% of Americans either “strongly” or “somewhat” disapproved.

Karine Jean-Pierre refuses to apologize for repeatedly insisting Biden wouldn’t pardon Hunter.
She also claims a YouGov poll shows “64% of the American people agree with the pardon” — except that poll actually shows just 34% of Americans agree.

CBS’s Ed O’Keefe: “He sidestepped a — a judge and a jury’s decisions on the cases involving his son. He criticized the political nature of the prosecution. The next president has spent the last several years vowing to upend the justice Department and the FBI. Looking at their current and future presidents, Why should any American continue to have confidence in the American justice
system?”

KJP: “Well, the President does have confidence in the American justice system, um — and he said that in his statement, certainly — uh — continues to have confidence in the Department of Justice — uh — what he —”

O’Keefe: “Two leaders who —”
KJP: “Oh, okay.”
O’Keefe: “— single out incidents that involve them or their families and say — ”
KJP: “Well, can I —”
O’Keefe: “— ‘well, it wouldn’t be fair to me, but the rest of you should agree with it.’”
KJP: “— I — can I — can I just be very blunt here? Uh — the situation with Hunter Biden and what the incoming president has said are very different.”

O’Keefe: “But they’re making similar arguments —”
KJP: “Well — yeah — but —”
O’Keefe: “— which is that they’ve been unfairly prosecuted because of who they are.”

KJP: “— but — but I don’t think, I don’t think those two things are the same. I just don’t. I don’t — they’re not the same. They’re just not — and — um — and I think the American people understand that. I do. I do think they believe and understand that they’re not the same. Uh — what the president’s son had to go through — uh — and what we’ve heard from legal experts, former U.S. attorneys general who look at this case, who understand this case and have said, this would not — virtually — there would not be the situation — uh — and I think that’s important to note as well, and they’ve been very clear about this. We’ve heard from many of them — legal experts, former U.S. attorneys — uh — from across the country again, have all agreed virtually no one would be criminally prosecuted with felony offenses with these facts. I talked about these facts as it relates to the gun charges and tax cases that — that obviously — uh — Hunter Biden’s case, and so that is — uh — uh — you take their word for it. You can take their word for it.”
