Email Address: Having trouble? Click here. NBC News chief political analyst Chuck Todd offered a profoundly personal critique of President Biden following the commander-in-chief’s decision to pardon his son, Hunter.
During his weekly sit-down with Chris Cillizza on Cillizza’s Substack page, Todd admitted he “knew 100%” that Biden would pardon his son, who was facing sentencing for two criminal cases.
Joe Biden “needs therapy and I say this with respect. He has not processed Beau’s death,” Todd said. “He has an issue – he cannot process Hunter. He second-guesses everything he’s done with raising Hunter versus raising Beau. He, I think, blames himself for Hunter’s inability to conduct himself as an adult for a period of time.”
Todd suggested that Joe Biden is “emotionally incapable” of being president and “probably never should have run.” He also said that Hunter has “sort of failed at being a human being” in the last decade.
Hunter Biden has been in the news for several high-profile legal issues, including a “laptop from hell” scandal that turned four this year. In a statement, Hunter Biden said he would “never take the clemency” his father gave him for granted and that he plans to devote his life to helping those with addiction.
The Biden White House did not immediately respond to comment.
