By pardoning his son, Hunter Biden, Joe Biden gave himself a pass for being a failed parent and a corrupt politician.
My dad always tells me he loves me unconditionally, but that doesn’t mean he will co-sign all my behaviors. One of the fundamental responsibilities of a parent is to teach your child right from wrong, and sometimes such teaching involves discipline, which we commonly refer to as tough love. Hebrews 12:11 reminds all parents, “No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those trained by it.” Where Biden failed as a parent is that he either didn’t understand or was unwilling to practice tough love. Instead, he equated co-signing Hunter’s many destructive behaviors to fatherly love.
