The Republicans Made Me Do It
from Plausibly Live - The Dave Bowman Show · host Dave Bowman
In this episode of Plausibly Live - The Dave Bowman Show, Dave dives into the controversial pardon of Hunter Biden. What does this decision mean in the context of presidential pardon power and political strategy? With his characteristic candor, Dave unpacks the historical use (and misuse) of pardons, media statements, and the political fallout of this polarizing move. He also explores the claim that the pardon was inevitable, breaking down the rationale behind the "you made us do it" defense being touted by the administration. As always, Dave brings the big picture into focus, weaving in sharp insights, some humor, and a nod to the wisdom of Mickey Rivers: control what you can, and don’t sweat the rest.
