President Joe Biden has done everything imaginable to pretend that his granddaughter, Navy, who was fathered by Hunter Biden out of wedlock, doesn’t exist.
Even after he was essentially shamed into begrudgingly acknowledging the girl’s existence last year, he recently made the false claim that he only has four granddaughters.
According to the New York Post:
President Biden on Monday refused to acknowledge his fifth granddaughter, fathered out-of-wedlock by first son Hunter Biden, during remarks at a Women’s History Month reception at the White House.
“I see a future for all Americans, a future for my daughter and my four granddaughters – by the way, they’re incredible,” the president said.
“You should meet my granddaughters. Oh, you think I’m kidding. I’m not,” he added.
Biden, 81, has on numerous occasions claimed that he has only six grandchildren, ignoring 4-year-old Navy Joan Roberts, the daughter of Hunter and his Arkansas baby mama Lunden Roberts.
The snub garnered some fierce criticism on social media:

Biden says he has "four granddaughters" — except he has five.

Here’s how he handled the situation amid mounting pressure last July, per Fox News:
“Our son Hunter and Navy’s mother, Lunden, are working together to foster a relationship that is in the best interests of their daughter, preserving her privacy as much as possible going forward,” Biden said in a statement to Fox News Digital at the time.
“This is not a political issue, it’s a family matter,” he added. “Jill and I only want what is best for all of our grandchildren, including Navy.”
Biden and First Lady Jill Biden had repeatedly refused to acknowledge Navy, frequently omitting her by claiming they only have “four granddaughters.”
December 2022 marked the second Christmas season in a row that the White House left Navy out of a Christmas stocking display. After acknowledging her publicly in the summer of 2023, first lady Jill Biden did away with hanging stockings for her grandchildren and pets over the mantle in the State Dining Room for the 2023 Christmas season.
Like father, like son, Hunter Biden has reportedly done his best to reduce the responsibility he has to his own flesh and blood:
