President Joe Biden will not pardon Hunter Biden if he’s convicted on federal charges, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Friday.

Asked during the daily briefing if the president would pardon or commute his son’s sentence if he gets convicted on the gun charges against him, Jean-Pierre told reporters he would not. It’s the first time the White House has explicitly said a potential pardon is not on the table following Hunter Biden’s indictment this week.

In her response, Jean-Pierre noted that she answered a similar question after the president’s son was first hit with a felony gun charge.

    It’s become a party of resentment. Doctors tell them they’re wrong so they resent doctors. Colleges tell them that their ideas are historically inaccurate and broken so they resent colleges. Artists and celebrities criticize their ideas and politicians so they resent artists and celebrities. Athletes don’t go along with their beliefs so they resent athletes. When Trump won, they had lost multiple presidential elections in a row and he promised that he’d get even with all those people. He harassed athletes and celebrities and cut funding to colleges and doctors, all because of resentment.

    GOP is nothing but the party of grievances. They didn’t even discuss policy at the last debate.
