Joe Biden has built his persona on being a family man, but it’s quite clear now that he has one huge shortcoming.

Hunter Biden, by any measure, has disgraced his family in a myriad of ways, including fathering a child out of wedlock, refusing to acknowledge the little girl until he was forced to take a paternity test, and then take legal action to prevent her from taking his name.

And now, ‘grandpa’ Joe won’t acknowledge her, either.

The Daily Wire notes:

President Joe Biden is being blasted online for his unwillingness to acknowledge his own grandchild, the four-year-old girl his troubled son Hunter Biden fathered with a former stripper who now lives in Arkansas.

The social media condemnation followed White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre’s refusal to answer a question about the little girl, Navy Joan Roberts. On Saturday, The New York Times ran a story about the girl, noting that the child knows who her father and grandfather are and that a recent child support settlement between her parents bars her from using the Biden name.

“There was a story in The New York Times over the weekend about Hunter Biden’s daughter in Arkansas. Does the president acknowledge this little girl as his granddaughter?” Wall Street Journal’s Catherine Lucey asked Jean-Pierre on Wednesday.

“I don’t have anything to share from here,” Jean-Pierre replied.

In April, Joe Biden told a group of kids, “I have six grandchildren. And I’m crazy about them. And I speak to them every single day.”

“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,” Joe Gabriel Simonson of the Washington Free Beacon noted.

The condemnation of Joe Biden came pouring in.

How can anyone still support this man? He claims to be a “family” man, yet he has nothing to do with his own granddaughter! That’s pathetic pic.twitter.com/NqGFRkePJu

“The Bidens hung a Christmas stocking with the dog’s name on it, and the President won’t acknowledge his own granddaughter,” RealClearInvestigations’ Mark Hemingway wrote.

“You can just feel the empathy and decency oozing,” The Spectator’s  Stephen Miller said in reference to the Democratic left’s constant attempts to portray Joe Biden as empathetic.
