A New York Times columnist slammed President Joe Biden for failing to acknowledge his seventh grandchild, Hunter’s daughter Navy Joan, who the First Son had with an Arkansas stripper.
Maureen Dowd’s most-recent piece focused on a letter her sister Peggy penned to the president, criticizing him for telling the nation that he only has six grandchildren – as the president has refused to admit or accept he has a seventh.
The letter voiced Dowd’s concerned sister’s belief that four-year-old Navy Joan could face bullying in school as ‘she grows up, knowing that her father and paternal grandparents wanted nothing to do with her.’
‘She will probably be able to see a video or two showing her half-sister Naomi getting married on the South Lawn and you watching the fireworks on the balcony with little Beau. And if she misses that, there will be plenty of schoolmates to remind her that she wasn’t wanted. Kids can be mean that way.’
It comes after Hunter Biden’s baby mama settled their bitter child support suit with the First Son, who promised to meet their out-of-wedlock daughter and play a role in her life, DailyMail.com exclusively revealed last week.

Years of legal wrangling ended abruptly when Lunden Roberts, 32, agreed to slash Hunter’s $20,000 monthly payments and drop her petition to have Navy Joan’s last name changed to Biden.
The pre-school age girl has never met Hunter and the Bidens have refused to count her as part of the family – with only six stockings representing the grandchildren being hung at the White House at Christmas.
Peggy wrote in the letter that even though Navy Joan has the ‘Biden blood running through her veins,’ and that DNA testing in 2019 established his paternity, the child was not getting getting the other perks of being a Biden.
Instead, ‘all she is going to have as a reminder of this are some of Hunter’s original paintings; sounds like a lousy trade-off, if you ask me,’ she added.
The letter then aimed right at Biden’s heart as it brought up the president’s late one-year-old daughter, who he tragically lost in a car wreck in 1972.
‘I know you still carry that pain with you every day because I have watched your face when you speak about her,’ Peggy wrote. ‘Please do not throw away your granddaughter.’
Earlier this week, House Republican Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik also blasted President Biden for failing to acknowledge his seventh grandchild.
Stefanik, who proudly proclaims herself as the ‘newest mom’ in Congress, told DailyMail.com the president should have acknowledged Navy Joan years ago.

‘Every American knows that Joe Biden should have done the right thing years ago and acknowledged ALL of his grandchildren,’ said Stefanik, R-N.Y.
‘It is cold, heartless, selfish, and cowardly that the President of the United States can’t show love or compassion to his beautiful granddaughter. America sees this for what it is – an inexcusable disgrace.’
Sources told DailyMail.com the stunning reversal in the legal battle came after Hunter told Roberts in private talks that he wanted to end hostilities and ‘build a relationship’ with the adorable four-year-old.
The pact also paves the way for Navy Joan to eventually meet the rest of the Biden brood – including President Joe and First Lady Jill – for the first time.

While financial details of the settlement remain under seal, court filings indicate that the fledgling artist Hunter, 53, will let his daughter pick out one of his paintings each month as a gift.
But the White House is still refusing to acknowledge the child as family.
During a Wednesday White House press briefing, Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre shut down a question on whether Biden would now acknowledge Navy Joan as his grandchild after the child support dispute settlement.
‘I don’t have anything to share from here,’ Jean-Pierre said at the briefing as she moved on to the next question.
The New York Times reported Friday that aides have been told that Bidens have six grandchildren – not seven – during strategy sessions.
The blonde-haired little girl was conceived around December 2017 while Hunter was still in a relationship with his brother Beau’s widow, Hallie.
‘I had no recollection of our encounter,’ Hunter wrote in his memoir about the matter. ‘That’s how little connection I had with anyone. I was a mess, but a mess I’ve taken responsibility for.’
