Apparently, CNN feels there are two sides to the issue of whether or not the Bidens should have acknowledged their granddaughter Navy.
According to a Fox News report, a CNN panel discussion over President Biden’s acknowledgment of his 7th grandchild, Hunter Biden’s daughter, got heated on Sunday after a former assistant to the president said the subject was “gross and uncomfortable.”
From Fox News:
CNN’s Kasie Hunt asked former special assistant to President Biden Michael LaRosa about why it “took so long” for the Bidens to acknowledge their 7th grandchild.
“First of all, I respect you as a journalist for having to ask the question, but it is a very gross and uncomfortable subject to talk about,” LaRosa began.
Kasie pushed back and said, “Let’s not call a little girl gross.”
“I’m talking about the inter sanctum of a family and the privacy of what goes on in a family,” LaRosa continued, arguing that Hunter’s daughter shouldn’t be weaponized by Republicans.
“And everyone is welcome to make their own personal judgments on the Bidens, but it is frankly — they are a family, a real family, with real feelings, with real struggles and challenges, like every family. And I guarantee you that the more that the Republicans make this an issue, it will not work. Voters appreciate, voters relate to having struggles in their own families. They root for people with vulnerabilities. They root for people who understand and relate to them. And ultimately, the Bidens are a real family, just like everyone else,” he continued.
Hunt asked CNN political commentator Scott Jennings about how Biden has made “being a family man” a big part of his “political identity.”
“It’s not Republicans, with all due respect, who made Hunter Biden into a complete scumbag on this and other issues. The ignoring his own daughter, for four years! And the President of the United States hanging up a stocking for the dog and not for his seventh grandchild,” he responded.

After ignoring their seventh grandchild for years, the Bidens finally issued a brief statement to People Magazine last week.
“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 People.
“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.”
