Durbin Defends Biden as Tapper Grills Him on Hunter Pardon President ‘Said Again and Again’ He Wouldn’t Do

EXCERPT:

DURBIN: "Listen, Joe Biden is my friend. I have known him for over 20 years. And I will tell you, most conversations I have with him is about his family. This is a man who loves his children and has gone through quite an ordeal, having lost a former wife and child in an automobile accident, and seeing the two boys, Beau and Hunter, go through serious hospital stays and try to rebuild their lives. If I have to have a bias in this area, it's a loving parent who wants to protect his child. I understand that situation. And I understand Michael Bennet's observation, he promised he wouldn't do it and now he's doing it. But it's a labor of love, as far as I'm concerned, from a loving father."
