Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said Monday that there’s a double standard when it comes to former President Joe Biden’s preemptive pardons of his family members and President Donald Trump‘s pardons of Jan. 6 rioters.
McCarthy was asked about the difference between the two swaths of pardons while being interviewed on NBC, according to a report. The former House speaker said the difference was Trump ran on pardoning Jan. 6 rioters, while Biden campaigned saying he would never pardon his son.
