President Joe Biden’s most outspoken granddaughter took aim at controversial Fox News Jesse Watters after the host labeled the commander-in-chief “not the best father” because he can’t say “no” to his son Hunter.
In a bizarre rant, Watters, who left his wife of nine years, the mother of their twin daughters, for a Fox News producer 13 years his junior in 2018, tried to link Biden’s border policies to parenting. .
“I knew Biden was bad at the border because he’s not the best father. The man can’t say no to his own son,” said host of Watters’ World.
‘He can’t say, ‘Stop!’ He can’t have any consequences for actions and that’s what you need, you need a man in charge at the border saying this won’t be allowed,” he continued.
Naomi Biden, 30, responded fervently to the rant in a post on X.
‘I’ve heard so many lies about my family, it takes a lot to upset me. This crosses the line. I’m 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’t agree with his policies without being so ugly,” she wrote.
Naomi shot back at Watters, saying you can’t agree with the aging Democrat’s policies without getting so personal
President Biden has been widely criticized by conservatives for consistently supporting his son amid his legal troubles, investigations into his business dealings and his drug addiction.
Biden has amassed a war chest of $71 million. He turns 81 this month and has faced calls to resign amid strong Trump head-to-head polling, while the former president faces 91 charges.
President Biden has been widely criticized by conservatives for consistently supporting his son.
‘My son, like many people, had a drug problem. He caught up. He solved it. He worked on it. And I’m proud of him,” he told Donald Trump on the debate stage in 2020.
Just two weeks ago, Naomi took on Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene after the Trump-supporting Georgian claimed Hunter “fled” a House Oversight and Accountability Committee hearing.
“Basically it seems like everyone fled the scene when she started lying,” Naomi wrote.
In November 2023, Naomi branded David Axelrod, President Barack Obama’s close adviser, a “jerk” to the strategist after he suggested that President Biden would not be a candidate in 2024.
“I look forward to proving the political pundits wrong… again,” she wrote on Monday.
She then retweeted a post on X post dunking on Axelrod and commented on Biden’s failure to capture delegates in New Hampshire in 2020.
“Disingenuous – you predicted his demise from the start and doubted his resilience. There’s a difference between being entitled to an opinion and enjoying a platform to discredit AND between journalism and being a jerk with a microphone. Then ‘who would have thought he would win?'” she wrote in February of that year.

In the summer of 2022, Naomi told Republican Senator Ron Johnson that she would come to his office and call her father Hunter to talk to him if lawmakers voted in favor of the gun reform legislation.
“@RonJohnsonWI, if you vote for stricter gun control measures, I will personally come to your office and call my father on speakerphone so you can profess your undying love for him directly,” she wrote on Twitter.
Johnson has been one of Hunter’s most outspoken critics, taking the president’s son to task on a number of issues, including his business dealings and his Secret Service details. He has accused Hunter of benefiting financially from Joe Biden’s time in public office.
Last week, federal prosecutors urged a judge on Tuesday to dismiss Hunter’s efforts to drop gun charges against him, revealing that investigators last year found cocaine residue in the pouch where the president’s son held his gun .
In pushing for the case against Biden’s son to continue, prosecutors said “the strength of the evidence against him is overwhelming” and pushed back against Hunter Biden’s claims that he is being singled out for political purposes.
In addition to the “incriminating statements” Hunter made in his 2021 memoir about his drug use, investigators found a white powdery substance on the brown leather pouch in which he stored the gun after removing it from the state police safe last year, prosecutors wrote .
An FBI chemist determined it was cocaine, they said.
“To be clear, investigators literally found drugs on the bag where the suspect kept his gun,” prosecutors said.
Hunter has pleaded not guilty to charges accusing him of lying about his drug use in October 2018 on a form to purchase a gun that he kept for about 11 days.
He has acknowledged that he was struggling with an addiction to crack cocaine during that period in 2018, but his lawyers have said he did not break the law. Hunter Biden has since said he has stopped using drugs and has worked to turn his life around.
His attorneys did not immediately respond Tuesday to requests for comment on the plaintiffs’ filing.
These criminal proceedings could have been avoided with a plea deal last year, but an agreement with federal prosecutors fell through and now the president’s son faces the spectacle of a trial this year while his father campaigns.
He was charged after the plea deal fell through when a judge who was supposed to sign the agreement instead asked a series of questions about the deal.
He had initially agreed to plead guilty to misdemeanor tax charges and also would have avoided prosecution on weapons charges if he had stayed out of trouble for two years.
It was the culmination of a years-long investigation by federal prosecutors into the president’s son’s business dealings.
His lawyers have urged the judge to dismiss the gun case, saying he was “selectively charged” for improper political purposes.
They have argued that special counsel David Weiss — who also serves as U.S. attorney for Delaware and was originally appointed by Trump — “succumbed to political pressure” to bring more serious charges amid criticism of the deal from Trump and other Republicans.
Hunter last month defied a subpoena requiring him to give closed-door testimony as part of the GOP impeachment inquiry into whether President Joe Biden had ties to or benefited from his son’s shady business deals
However, prosecutors said there is no evidence “to support his claim that the executive branch, led by his father, President Biden, and the Justice Department, led by his father’s appointed attorney general, prosecuted U.S. attorney and special officers have allowed’. A counselor of their choice for an “improper political purpose.”
“The charges in this case were not fabricated or because of Trump – instead, they are the result of the defendant’s own choices and were brought despite, and not because of, any outside noise from politicians,” prosecutors wrote.
Hunter’s criminal proceedings also parallel the so-far failed attempts by Republicans in Congress to link his business activities to his father.
Republicans are conducting an impeachment investigation into Biden, alleging that he was involved in an influence scheme with his son.
But House Republicans on Tuesday halted plans to hold Hunter in contempt of Congress for defying a congressional subpoena in their ongoing investigation, citing negotiations with his lawyers that could end the standoff .
So far, no evidence has emerged that the president, in his current or previous office, abused his role or accepted bribes, although questions have been raised about the ethics surrounding the Biden family’s international business dealings.
