Joy Ann Reid: I Don’t Understand the Lack of Compassion from Republicans for a Father Loving His Son

EXCERPT:

REID:" And I think you're an especially important person to talk about it with. Is this the lack of sort of decency on the Republican side here? Because you have, in the case of Hunter Biden, somebody who's obviously had deep troubles, problems with drugs, problems in his life, he comes from a background that’s full of tragedy, and yet here’s his family surrounding him with love. President Biden’s statement is actually quite kind, it’s very fatherly and sweet. He says, 'As I said last week, I’m the president, but I’m also a dad. Jill and I love our son, and we’re so proud of the man he is today. So many families who have had loved ones battle addiction understand the feeling of pride seeing someone you love come out on the other side and be so strong and resilient in recovery. As I said last week, I will accept the outcome of this case and will continue to respect the judicial process as Hunter considers an appeal. Jill and I will always be there for Hunter and the rest of our family with our love and support. Nothing will ever change that.' I can’t even imagine Donald Trump saying that about any of his children, his family. That is actually loving your kid. I don’t understand why Republicans don’t even have compassion for that."
