WHOOPI GOLDBERG: But there's a much more serious pardon that many people are wondering about and that is people are wondering should Biden pardon his son –
[Audience members shouting “yes” and applause]
Hunter or does that make him an even bigger target for you-know-who coming in? It's an interesting question, which I pose to you all.
ALYSSA FARAH GRIFFIN: So, personally, I think I would pardon my child. I don't even have kids; I'd bury a body for my child. So, I get it as a personal decision.
I worry a little bit about the implications for the country and I mean this – not because Hunter Biden affects the country but because there's such a distrust in the powerful, the politically connected, and there's this idea that there is a different system of justice. We just saw Donald Trump, his indictments go away because he's in power.

SUNNY HOSTIN: One of the issues that I have is when you look at the charges that Hunter Biden was indicted on, less than .09 percent of the population is indicted on -- are indicted on that charge, and so, it's basically close to zero. So, I actually think that the only reason he was indicted is because his last name is Biden!
[Applause]
So, if you look at it like that. If you look at it like that, then it is the right thing to do to correct course and correct that wrong and pardon his son.
The other piece of this is, Hunter Biden has acknowledged his addiction. He is an addict. And in the law, you know, there are all sorts of ways to handle people that commit crimes because of their addiction. There are drug deferment programs. And he should be someone should be treated bit differently because of the addiction and I would support not only I think his pardon on the illegal gun application one but the other one in California as well.
ANA NAVARRO: And you would support it for any other addict after rehabilitation.
HOSTIN: Yes. Absolutely.
SARA HAINES: Normally I take what you're saying, Sunny, about it’s because his son – because he is the president.
HOSTIN: For that particular charge.
HAINES: I agree but I think President Biden always recognized that and still took the higher road of what it meant for the country even in how he talked about it and handled it. But I'm exhausted and I think Biden has taken such a punching this time with all the losing the election -- having to hand it off, the way everything has gone, I feel like this would be the one thing I would wish for him that he could just say, ‘you know what, I'm out and so is Hunter.’ I just wish he could do one thing.
JOY BEHAR: They should pardon those dogs that bit the Secret Service agents. Those dogs need to be pardoned.
FARAH GRIFFIN: Justice for Commander Biden! That I'm on board with.
GOLDBERG: And on that we're going to go. We'll be right back.
Sunny, you do realize there are thousands of people in prison for that gun charge. Many didn't provide video evidence of the drug use to the courts.
Wonder how the black community feels about her statement?
