Operation 7th Grandchild
posted by Dianny at SweetMercifulZeus
In a carefully orchestrated PR move that dropped on Friday just as the president was heading to Delaware for the week, the White House granted People magazine the honor of publishing a statement from Joe Biden publicly acknowledging the existence of his 7th grandchild, 4-year-old Navy Joan Roberts.
Naturally, the same corporate media that spent the last four years helping to suppress the story of Hunter's unacknowledged child was quick to publicize the White House's desperate scramble to salvage Joe's image as a loving family man and doting grandpa.
I searched "Bidens Acknowledge 7 Grandchild" and these were first the reports to pop up:
They're delighted, aren't they?
Can you blame them?
When you have to work overtime to put the kibosh on the Biden family's influence peddling and bribery, would you want to expend time and effort to shut down stories about the Biden family punishing an innocent 4-year-old child whose only crime was being the unwanted offspring of their drug-addicted deadbeat son?
Besides, the media spent the last four years helping to create the fictional version of Joe Biden, the Paragon of Decency and Loving Family Man. The Biden family spending the last four years pretending Navy Joan didn't exist probably made selling that fiction even harder for the media.
Read the statement for yourself.
“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. This is not a political issue, it’s a family matter. Jill and I only want what is best for all of our grandchildren, including Navy.”
This passive statement reads like the product of a strategy meeting made up of lawyers, PR people, and White House aides.
It checks all the right PR boxes:
• A plea for respecting the privacy of all involved
• An assurance that it isn't a political issue
• The generic "we want the best for all the grandchildren" comment with Navy tossed in at the end.
The statement was crafted in just such a way as to give White House staff like Karine Jean-Pierre the perfect out:
"The president acknowledged her. We have nothing more to add. As far as we’re concerned, the issue is settled. Time to move on."
What the statement doesn’t acknowledge is that it took the Bidens four years to utter the child's name.
For four years, the Bidens went out of their way to pretend Navy Joan didn't exist, often in the most petty ways imaginable.
What kind of grandparent makes a point of putting up Christmas stockings for the grandkids and even the family pets while consciously leaving one grandchild stockingless?
Who goes to court to prevent the child from taking your family name?
Well, the Bidens, that's who.
The president's statement isn't an acknowledgment; it is carefully managed damage control specifically designed to salvage the campaign’s cynical and dishonest narrative that Joe Biden is a decent, caring man with nothing but unconditional love for his family.
Lunden Roberts and her daughter are better off free of the Bidens.
Why would anyone want her child within sniffing distance of Grandpa Joe?
Keeping Navy away from the dysfunction and corruption of the Bidens would be the best decision her mother could make.
