Whoopi Goldberg, co-host of The View, defended President Joe Biden's decision to pardon his son, Hunter Biden, despite Biden's repeated denials that he would issue such a pardon. Goldberg argued that Biden had no initial intentions of pardoning his son but suggested circumstances may have influenced his decision. She also pushed back against labeling Biden's reversal as a 'lie,' stating, 'I would stop calling it a lie.' This sparked a heated debate with co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin, who questioned why Biden 'lied about it for so long.' The controversy has drawn criticism, with some accusing Biden of dishonesty regarding his earlier claims.
