EXCLUSIVE: Top Republican and mom call Biden ‘heartless, selfish and cowardly’ for refusing to acknowledge his seventh grandchild after Hunter Biden settled with baby mama
- Stefanik, who proudly proclaims herself the “newest mom” in Congress, told DailyMail.com that the Navy president should have recognized Joan years ago
- Hunter settled a child support dispute with mother Lunden Roberts last week and agreed to play a role in the child’s life
House Republican Conference Speaker Elise Stefanik slams President Joe Biden for not recognizing his seventh grandchild — the four-year-old daughter of son Hunter, Navy Joan — after ending a heated legal battle with the baby mama of the child.
Stefanik, who proudly proclaims herself as the “newest mom” in Congress, told DailyMail.com that the Navy president should have recognized Joan years ago.
“Every American knows Joe Biden should have done the right thing years ago and acknowledged ALL of his grandchildren,” said Stefanik, RN.Y.
“It is cold, heartless, selfish and cowardly that the President of the United States cannot show love or compassion to his beautiful granddaughter. America sees this for what it is: an unforgivable disgrace.”
Hunter and Lunden Roberts agreed that Navy should allow Joan to choose one of his paintings each month as a gift in an effort to bond with her father.
Hunter Biden’s baby mummy settled their acrimonious alimony case after the first son promised to meet their daughter out of wedlock and play a part in her life, DailyMail.com exclusively revealed last week.
Years of legal wrangling came to an abrupt end this week when 32-year-old Lunden Roberts agreed to cut Hunter’s monthly payments of $20,000 and withdrew her petition to have Navy Joan’s last name changed to Biden.
Sources say the stunning turnaround comes after Hunter told Roberts in private conversations 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 the financial details of the settlement remain secret, court documents indicate budding artist Hunter, 53, will have his daughter choose one of his paintings each month as a gift.
But the White House still refuses to recognize the child as family.
During the White House press conference Wednesday, press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre closed off a question about whether Biden would now recognize four-year-old Navy Joan as his grandchild after the child support dispute was settled.

“I have nothing to share from here,” Jean-Pierre said at the briefing as she continued with the next question.
The preschool-aged girl has never met Hunter, and the Biden family has refused to count her as part of the family — with only six stockings representing the grandchildren to be hung in the White House over Christmas.
The New York Times reported Friday that aides have been told during strategy sessions that Bidens has six grandchildren — not seven.
The blonde 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 meeting,” Hunter wrote in his memoir of the case. ‘I had so little connection with anyone. I was a mess, but a mess that I took responsibility for.
Stefanik has been an outspoken advocate of protecting the life of the unborn.
“As the newest mom in Congress, I gave birth to my son Sam almost two years ago,” she told DailyMail.com last month.
“I know how important it is to stand up and protect the most precious and vulnerable among us, meaning the unborn,” she said at an event marking the one-year anniversary of the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision , with which the landmark abortion case Roe v Waden.
