Conservatives slam Biden and his family as 'monsters' trends now
President Joe Biden has been slammed online after a report emerged over the weekend suggesting the Democrat instructs his aides to say publicly that he only has six grandchildren.
The New York Times reported the White House refuses to acknowledge Hunter Biden's 4-year old daughter, Navy Joan, ahead of the 2024 presidential election and amid scrutiny in to Hunter's foreign business dealings.
In fact, White House aides have been told at strategy meetings to say publicly that the president and first lady only have six grandchildren — not seven, two people familiar with the discussions told the newspaper.
Even though Biden puts up stockings at the White House for his grandchildren every year, he has left Navy out of the annual tradition.
Last week, Hunter, 53, has since settled a years-long child support dispute with the girl's mother, Lunden Roberts, 32, and has reportedly even agreed to meet his daughter.
President Joe Biden has repeatedly refused to acknowledge the daughter Hunter had with Lunden Roberts, 32. A report emerged this weekend that senior staffers at the White House are instructed to say publicly that he only has six grandchildren

The New York Times details how the Biden administration is seeking to maintain his image of a family man while ignoring Navy's existence.
The report described the child support battle between Hunter and Roberts as being rooted in 'money, corrosive politics and what it means to have the Biden birthright.'
To date, neither Hunter nor Joe, 80, have met the girl — even though he has publicly lavished praise and attention on his other grandchildren.
During a 'take your child to work day' event in April, the president told a student that he had just six grandchildren.
'I have six grandchildren. And I'm crazy about them. And I speak to them every single day,' he said on the White House lawn.
Biden then offered the audience of children a brief background on each of his six grandchildren.
'They're crazy about me because I pay so much attention to them,' he bragged but did not mention Navy.
The following month, the president again refused to acknowledge Navy when speaking about athletes in his own family.
He said at an event celebrating the NCAA women's basketball championship team from Louisiana State University, 'all the real athletes' in his family were women.
'It's really neat to see you, since I've got four granddaughters, where we had some pretty good athletes. I wasn't a bad athlete. My brothers weren't. All the real athletes in this family were women,' he said.
In more recent weeks, the president has been seen publicly embracing his son, Hunter, and his grandson, Beau, bringing them to Camp David for the last two weekends in a row.
Meanwhile, Roberts says her daughter knows she is the granddaughter of the President of the United States.
'She's very proud of who her grandfather is and who her dad is,' she told the Times. 'That is something that I would never allow her to think otherwise.'

Shortly after the New York Times piece was published, conservatives online said the story was 'sad' and 'gross' — with one person even slamming the Bidens as 'monsters.'
'These people are monsters,' CNN commentator Scott Jennings tweeted.
Chad Gilmartin, a deputy spokesperson for House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, also called the report 'so sad,' and Will Reinert, the national press secretary for the Republican National Congressional Committee, said it was an 'extremely sad story regardless of your political affiliation.'
Jake Scneider, a researcher for the Republican National Committee, also called Joe and Jill Biden 'two of the scummiest people to have ever disgraced American politics.
'Just awful human beings.'
