The White House is navigating a series of controversies surrounding Hunter Biden, and the president's refusal to publicly acknowledge his seventh grandchild has drawn criticism. President Biden recently stated he has "six grandchildren" whom he adores and speaks with daily. This statement excludes Navy Joan Roberts, Hunter Biden's daughter with Lunden Roberts.

On Fox News' "The Five," co-host Jessica Tarlov suggested President Biden should address this issue directly with his son. She believes the president should prioritize family matters, especially concerning a child who reportedly acknowledges him as her grandfather. Tarlov expressed that the American public would likely be understanding of the situation if the Bidens acknowledged Navy Joan. She argued this acknowledgment would humanize the situation and potentially mitigate some of the negative attention.

Co-host Greg Gutfeld contrasted President Biden's empathetic campaign persona with his perceived inaction on this matter. Washington Times columnist Charlie Hurt echoed this sentiment, stating that Biden's 2020 campaign theme of empathy and restoring normalcy hasn't translated into reality. Hurt suggested that Biden's past behavior indicates a tendency to exploit family for personal gain.

Co-host Katie Pavlich highlighted First Lady Jill Biden's omission of Navy Joan's name from the White House Christmas stockings, calling it "abhorrent." Pavlich believes the Bidens' attempts to suppress information about Hunter's behavior are unsustainable, especially when a child is involved. She criticized Hunter's apparent unwillingness to acknowledge his daughter.

This ongoing controversy raises questions about the Biden family's values and how they handle personal matters in the public eye.
