Even the New York Times Shows Disgust at "Family Man" Joe Biden's Continued Denial of the Existence of His Granddaughter -- But The "Ladies" of The View Love It

Last week, the New York Times bothered reporting that Joe Biden consistently denies the paternity of his own grand-daughter:

His public image is centered around his devotion to his family -- including to Hunter, his only surviving son. In strategy meetings in recent years, aides have been told that the Bidens have six, not seven, grandchildren, according to two people familiar with the discussions...

In April, President Biden told a group of children that he had "six grandchildren. And I'm crazy about them. And I speak to them every single day. Not a joke."

Even liberal ditz and 64-year-old teenager Maureen Dowd objects to Biden's nasty erasure of the Youngest Biden from memory.

Maureen Dowd's sister Peggy wrote a letter to Biden about the psychological damage he's inflicting on a four year old girl, which Maureen Dowd printed in her latest opinion column:

"As she grows up, knowing that her father and paternal grandparents wanted nothing to do with her," Peggy wrote, "she will probably be able to see a video or two showing her half sister Naomi getting married on the South Lawn and you watching the fireworks on the balcony with little Beau. And if she misses that, there will be plenty of schoolmates to remind her that she wasn't wanted. Kids can be mean that way."...

"Mr. President, many years ago, you lost your daughter in a horrendous car accident," Peggy continued. "I know you still carry that pain with you every day because I have watched your face when you speak about her. Please do not throw away your granddaughter."

My sister and I often disagree about politics, but this is not a political issue to us. It's a human one. Joe Biden's mantra has always been that "the absolute most important thing is your family." It is the heart of his political narrative. Empathy, born of family tragedies, has been his stock in trade. Callously scarring Navy's life, just as it gets started, undercuts that. As Katie Rogers, a Times White House correspondent, wrote in a haunting front-page piece last weekend about Hunter's unwanted child, Biden is so sensitive "that only the president's most senior advisers talk to him about his son." Rogers said that "in strategy meetings in recent years, aides have been told that the Bidens have six, not seven, grandchildren." Jill Biden dedicated her 2020 children's book to the six grandchildren.

The Free Beacon underlines that Biden has instructed his Administration to join in the gaslighting of a four-year-old girl, making it the official position of the US government that Biden has six grandchildren, not seven.

"In strategy meetings in recent years, aides have been told that the Bidens have six, not seven, grandchildren," the Times revealed.

...

* The story was posted on the Saturday of the July 4th long weekend, which suggests the Times did not actually want many people to read it.

Why it matters: Biden claims to be a devoted "family man," but his persistent refusal to acknowledge his granddaughter's existence raises troubling questions about his capacity for human kindness and paternal love.

Crucial context: Hunter recently reached a confidential settlement with the girl's mother, Lunden Alexis Roberts, which will reduce his monthly child-support payments. Hunter had challenged their initial agreement, claiming a lack of funds.

* As part of the new agreement, Roberts agreed to drop her request to change her daughter's last name to Biden. In lieu of additional cash payments, Hunter will give the child several of his so-called paintings, which have sold to anonymous buyers for as much as $500,000 in recent years.

What they're saying: "I have six grandchildren. And I'm crazy about them. And I speak to them every single day," President Biden told a group of children in April.

* "[L]et us remember that family is life's greatest blessing and responsibility; that we owe it to ourselves and our loved ones to make the most of our precious time together; and that our Nation would not be where it is today without our beloved fathers and father figures," Biden said last month in a Father's Day proclamation.

I wonder what it's like being a little girl in the south. Poor. Mom is a stripper. No father in your life at all. Then you learn that your grandpa is the President, and that he hates you.

Thanks to m. for that.

At at the View -- well, they're all in on claiming that Biden's vicious abuse of a four-year-old girl is just his own private business.

I guess, like child trafficking, psychological abuse of a four-year-old is just a QAnon Conspiracy Theory.
