President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden publicly acknowledged a seventh grandchild for the first time on Friday.

Referring to his 4-year-old granddaughter living in Arkansas, who his son Hunter Biden fathered out of wedlock, President Biden said in a statement to People magazine: "This is not a political issue, it’s a family matter. Jill and I only want what is best for all of our grandchildren, including Navy.”

I agree, Joe. I don’t give a shit about your family just your policies that affect our lives. These articles are so useless. Shame on you Jeff, get it together.

It’s an important political issue because the GOP made it into one.

The hell it is, by that standard we should be talking about Jewish space lasers and and Hillary’s emails. You can ignore their rage when it comes to things that don’t have real consequences, like this. This is a bad click bait article and isn’t worth sharing.

I’m sorry you disagree, but as the article mentions, many voters of both parties expressed serious concerns in opinion polling about him not acknowledging her

If republicans had popular policies or accomplishments, they wouldn’t be focusing on tabloid bullshit like this.

That sort of dismissive rhetoric is how we ended up with Trump. “They’re just a bunch of idiots, they can’t convince regular voters to vote for him!”
