NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: On a June 12 episode of 'Jesse Watters Primetime', Jesse Watters delivered a scathing monologue on the recent conviction of Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden.

As per CNN reports, Hunter Biden has been convicted on all three federal felony gun charges he faced, signifying a violation of laws designed to prevent drug addicts from possessing firearms, marking the first instance of a president's immediate family member being found guilty of a crime during his presidency, although the offenses occurred before Joe Biden took office.



 

After deliberating for nearly three hours, the jury returned guilty verdicts on all three charges, originating from a revolver purchased by Hunter Biden at a Delaware gun shop in October 2018.

Jesse Watters praises Hunter Biden verdict, highlights media celebration 'like a funeral'

"Guilty, guilty, guilty, was the verdict handed down by a jury of Hunter Biden's peers," Watters began. "For the first time in his life, Hunter faced the music. Two counts of lying on a gun form, one count of possession of a firearm by a drug user."

Describing Hunter Biden's reaction, Watters noted, "Hunter Biden appeared wide-eyed and motionless as he became the first child of a sitting president to be convicted of a crime. Three felonies, Hunter now facing a maximum of 25 years in prison, but the sentencing guidelines suggest just a couple although the judge could deviate and do whatever she wants. Sentencing will probably occur before September 5th when Hunter goes on trial in LA for tax evasion. That means Hunter could be sentenced to prison just days before the second presidential debate. He'll obviously appeal."

Watters then praised the judicial process in this instance, stating, "The jury followed the law. The judge ran a tight trial and justice was served." However, he quickly pivoted to a broader critique of the legal system, particularly its treatment of Republicans. "But just because one Democrat was convicted doesn't mean the American legal system isn't being abused. The feds are still throwing dozens of Republicans in prison on trumped-up charges and trying to incarcerate the Republican nominee for a crime they cooked up with black magic to hocus pocus an election."

Additionally, he contrasted the treatment of Hunter Biden's judge with those involved in cases against Republicans. "Hunter's judge didn't donate to a group called Stop Democrats, either," Watters pointed out, implying a partisan bias in the judiciary.

Watters also criticized the media's response to the verdicts. "The media celebrated the Trump verdict like a July 4th barbecue, but treated Hunter's like a funeral," he noted, underscoring what he perceives as a double standard in media coverage.

"The charge is still on the record. Biden is going to have to save his son to save his own hide," the host added. 

Netizens say 'daddy will pardon' Hunter Biden

A viewer responded online, "Joe will pardon him eventually and everybody will forget it."

Following suit, another observer added, "Joe will pardon him after the election. Win or lose this is a guarantee."

Additionally, a viewer pointed out, "Joe will pardon before sentencing."

A follower noted, "What? Hunter is the smartest guy Joe knows!"

Someone else commented, "Looks like dementia Joey is between a rock and a hard place because if big daddy doesn't pardon Hunter he will start singing like a Canary about all those 10% deals for the big guy 😆."

Another comment echoed, "Nothing burger, Daddy will pardon his son regardless of Daddy saying no pardon."

An individual elaborated further, saying, "His criminal dad will pardon or commute him."
