A speechwriter for former President Barack Obama suggested in a guest essay on Sunday that it might be time to stop shunning conservatives over a disagreement with their politics.David Litt wrote in The New York Times that he felt "a civic duty" to be rude to his brother-in-law, citing his support for Joe Rogan and disagreements over the COVID-19 pandemic and vaccines."My frostiness wasnt personal. It was strategic. Being unfriendly to people who turned down the vaccine felt like the right thing to do. How else could we motivate them to mend their ways?" Litt wrote.However, Litt revealed that he wanted to take up surfing and his brother-in-law, Matt, was the only surfer he knew. So, Litt wrote, he put his unfriendliness towards him aside, and admitted his cold shoulder towards Matt had backfired.YALE PSYCHIATRIST CALLS IT ESSENTIAL FOR LIBERALS TO CUT OFF TRUMP-VOTING LOVED ONES DURING HOLIDAYS"Matt and I remain very different, yet weve reached what is, in todays America, a radical conclusion: We dont always approve of each others choices, but we like each other," Litt conceded.Litt said his brother-in-law's generosity while they surfed together made him rethink his behavior, and that his surfing guidance had made Litt more courageous."Ostracizing him wouldnt have altered his behavior and it would have made my own life worse," Litt wrote."Our differences are meaningful, but allowing them to mean everything is part of how we ended up here. When we cut off contacts, or let algorithms sort us into warring factions, we forget that not so long ago, we used to have things to talk about that didnt involve politics. Shunning plays into the hands of demagogues, making it easier for them to divide us and even, in some cases, to incite violence," he wrote.SOUNDS LIKE A CULT: SOCIALIST LEFTIST CALLS TO CUT OFF TRUMP FAMILY MEMBERS DURING THE HOLIDAYSAccording to Litt, Matt had told him he would vote for him if he ran for office.Litt added that he would still decline a surf lesson with Trump aide Stephen Miller, but suggested he wouldn't close the door on a person over a political disagreement."In an age when banishment backfires, keeping the door open to unlikely friendship isnt a betrayal of principles its an affirmation of them," Litt continued.CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTURECLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPSeveral liberals have agreed that cutting ties with family members over their support for Trump in 2024 might be necessary, especially around the holidays.The co-hosts of "The View" agreed with the notion, calling it a "moral issue."

Former President Joe Bidens chief of staff issued final approval for multiple high-profile preemptive pardons during Bidens final days in office, according to a new report.Bidens alleged use of the autopen has become a sticking point for months, as President Donald Trump has said thousands of pardons Biden signed were void and claimed that the former president did not know what documents he was signing through the automated device.Biden issued a series of preemptive pardons on his final day to officials including former Chief Medical Advisor to the President, Anthony Fauci, and former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley in an attempt to safeguard them from retribution from Trump.In an article intended to be his defense for the autopen issue, it emerged that, although Biden reportedly made the decision in a meeting, Bidens Chief of Staff Jeff Zients is the one who gave final approval for the use of the autopen, at least in the case of Fauci and Milley, the New York Times reported.WHAT IS AN AUTOPEN? THE SIGNING DEVICE AT THE HEART OF TRUMP'S ATTACKS ON BIDEN PARDONSOn Bidens final day as president, Jan. 19, Biden had a meeting with his aides until nearly 10 p.m. to talk about various preemptive pardons, the Times reports. Emails obtained by the Times show that an aide sent a summary draft of the decisions formalized during that meeting to Zients assistant at 10:03 p.m.The assistant sent the email to Zients and others present in the meeting, requesting approval from Zients and White House Deputy Chief of Staff Bruce Reed at 10:28 p.m., the Times reported. Zients replied all to the email three minutes later, the outlet said."I approve the use of the autopen for the execution of all of the following pardons," Zients said in the email, according to the Times.Zients could not be immediately reached for comment by Fox News Digital.Additionally, the Times report said that Biden did not personally approve each name included in the broad, categorical pardons."Rather, after extensive discussion of different possible criteria, he signed off on the standards he wanted to be used to determine which convicts would qualify for a reduction in sentence," the Times reported.In response, the White House said that the report shed light on Bidens trustworthiness, and accused the Biden administration of engaging in a cover-up scheme.TRUMP CLAIMS BIDEN PARDONS ARE VOID, ALLEGING THEY WERE SIGNED VIA AUTOPEN"The same president who lied through his teeth to the American people for four years about everything from his health to the state of the economy should not be trusted again," White House spokesperson Harrison Fields said in an email to Fox News. "The Biden administration conducted the most egregious cover-up scheme in American politics The truth will come out about who was, in fact, running the country sooner or later, just as the truth is emerging about the state of Joe Bidens cognitive and physical health."Biden granted a total of 4,245 acts of clemency during his administration, 96% of which were granted during his final months in office between October 2024 and January, according to the Pew Research Center.Trump first accused Biden of using an autopen to sign important clemency documents in March. He has continued to bring up the issue, and sent a memo ordering Attorney General Pam Bondi to launch an investigation into Bidens autopen use in June, and to probe if the usage stemmed from a decline in Bidens mental acuity."In recent months, it has become increasingly apparent that Biden's aides abused the power of presidential signatures through the use of an autopen to conceal Biden's cognitive decline and assert Article II authority," Trump wrote in the memo.BIDEN'S 'AUTOPEN SIGNATURE' APPEARS ON MOST OFFICIAL DOCS, RAISING CONCERNS OVER WHO CONTROLLED THE WH: REPORT"This conspiracy marks one of the most dangerous and concerning scandals in American history. The American public was purposefully shielded from discovering who wielded the executive power, all while Biden's signature was deployed across thousands of documents to effect radical policy shifts."A White House official previously told Fox News Digital that Trump uses his hand signature for every legally operational or binding document. Even so, Trump has admitted that he uses an autopen for letters.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPAn autopen is a machine that physically holds a pen and features programming to imitate a persons signature. Unlike a tam or a digitized print of a signature, the autopen has the capability to hold various types of pens like a ballpoint to a permanent marker, according to descriptions of autopen machines available for purchase.Fox News Andrea Margolis and Pat Ward contributed to this report.
