Former President Joe Biden made surprising claims about his final presidential actions. He told the New York Times he personally authorized thousands of pardons at the end of his term. But here’s the shocking part: those pardons were signed by machine, not by Biden himself.
This raises serious questions about leadership. A real president should put pen to paper for such important decisions. Biden tried to justify it by saying “we’re talking about a whole lot of people.” That’s no excuse. True leaders take responsibility personally, especially for something as serious as freeing criminals.
The autopen was used for nearly 4,000 clemency actions. That’s thousands of criminals getting reduced sentences without the president’s actual signature. Biden claims he made “every decision,” but his staff signed the papers. How can we trust his word when the signatures were fakes?
House Republicans are absolutely right to investigate. Chairman James Comer is leading the charge to uncover the truth. We deserve to know if Biden’s team abused this autopen system. Americans have a right to see real leadership, not machine-made signatures on life-changing pardons.
The evidence speaks for itself. Emails show Biden’s chief of staff Jeff Zients approved the autopen use. This happened right before President Trump took office. It looks like a last-minute rush job. Real leaders don’t operate this way, especially with something as important as justice.
Biden’s mental state matters here. Republicans are rightly looking into whether his age affected his decisions. When a president can’t even sign his own name to pardon papers, it raises red flags. Hardworking Americans deserve a fully present commander-in-chief.
These shortcuts damage our justice system. Letting criminals out early affects every community. Doing it with fake signatures shows disrespect for the law. It makes you wonder who really made those decisions in the White House.
This entire situation stinks of liberal corner-cutting. A true American president would never use a machine to sign pardons. We need leaders who take responsibility seriously, not hide behind robots. The Republican investigations can’t come soon enough to expose this mess.
