Joe Biden’s granddaughter, Naomi Biden, responded sharply to Fox News host Jesse Watters for criticizing the president’s handling of the U.S. southern border and questioning his parenting skills. Watters, during a Monday commentary on The Five, had highlighted President Biden’s admission that the border is not secure while calling for congressional funding to address the issue. Watters blamed Biden for the border situation and commented on the president’s relationship with his son, Hunter Biden, noting his troubled past.
Watters had specifically criticized Biden’s parenting, stating, “I knew Biden was bad on the border because he is not the best father. That man can’t say no to his own son. He can’t say stop. He can’t have consequences for actions, and that’s what you need. You need a man in charge on the border to say, ‘This is not going to be allowed. If you do break in, this is what is going to happen to you.'”
Naomi Biden, the eldest daughter of Hunter Biden, came across Watters’ commentary on Wednesday and promptly condemned his remarks about her grandfather’s parenting. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), she expressed her displeasure, stating, “I have heard so many lies about my family; it takes a lot to make me upset. This crosses the line. Not sure how this man can call himself a reporter, and I hope he never has a son or daughter who struggles with anything. You can disagree with his policies without being this ugly.”
Naomi Biden’s response reflects her strong objection to what she perceives as a personal attack on her family, urging a more respectful disagreement on policy matters. The exchange highlights the ongoing tension and polarization in public discourse, where discussions on political issues often spill over into personal critiques of individuals and their families.
