One will be hard-pressed to find a more debilitating and humiliating experience this year for a member of Congress than what happened to Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) on CNN today.
As The Gateway Pundit’s Kristinn Taylor reported, Joe Biden last night granted his son Hunter Biden a blanket pardon in the federal gun and tax cases against him Sunday night after promising several times he would never do so.
The pardon, which covers any federal crimes by Hunter from 2014 to 2024, ends a case that was blown open by IRS whistleblowers who spoke out after the Biden Justice Department slow-walked an investigation into Hunter. This allowed the statute of limitations to pass on some charges, and the DOJ then offered Hunter a sweetheart plea deal that was ultimately rejected by a dumbfounded federal judge in Delaware, resulting in the appointment of a special counsel by Attorney General Merrick Garland in the case.
The unprecedented pardon gives Hunter a get-out-of-jail-free card regarding any possible drug involvement, sex trafficking, lobbying, bribery, foreign agent, or other crimes involving Ukraine and several other foreign governments or companies, including China. Moreover, the start date of 2014 coincides with the year Hunter joined the board of the Ukraine energy firm Burisma in an influence-peddling scheme involving Joe, aka “The Big Guy.”
CNN anchor Brianna Keilar brought on Goldman Monday afternoon to discuss Old Joe’s despicable abuse of power involving his son. But first, she had a little surprise for the New York Democrat.
Keilar showed a clip of Goldman speaking out on Joe Biden potentially pardoning Hunter back in July 2023, just days after Hunter’s plea deal on two tax charges fell through. In the clip, ABC’s Jon Karl asks the New York Democrat whether Joe pardoning Hunter would be a mistake.
Goldman responds in the affirmative and says there is no chance Biden would do so. As is his nature, Goldman then smears Trump for his pardons while hailing the Justice Department’s “independence.”
The look on Goldman’s face throughout the ordeal is absolutely priceless.
WATCH:
This is one of the most devastating, and enjoyable, clips on the internet. CNN forces Rep. Dan Goldman to watch video of himself saying confidently that Joe Biden would NEVER pardon Hunter.
“What does that feel like?”

After the clip finishes, Keilar only has one brutal question to ask Goldman: “What does that feel like?”
Goldman refuses to address Keilar’s question. Instead, he responds by attempting to claim that if the plea deal had gone through, there would have been no pardon.
But Keilar does not let Goldman off the hook. She points out the plea deal had already fallen through when Goldman made his remarks on ABC.
The clip ends with Goldman completely confused and nearly speechless. It’s safe to say he never expected to receive his comeuppance, let alone on CNN.
