    I’m sure he doesn’t want to draw further attention to poor Hunter, who is persecuted for no reason by Republicans, and perhaps cause his granddaughter to be harmed.

      But for her sake, at least he’s acknowledging her. Imagine growing up and being called the one that grandpa wouldn’t mention. This removes that from her, which I think is important, and I hope he at least recognized.

        Also true, you are correct. I just fear for that child because the Republicans are so weirdly obsessed with Hunter.

        There is no world where any of this is in Navy’s best interest. Republicans are harping on it because they think it will hurt Biden, Biden is “publicly acknowledging for the first time” to prevent it from being a drain on that same campaign.

        We don’t know any of the interpersonal relationships at work here and certainly what is “publicly acknowledged” now vs in December 2024 is not going to cause psychological harm to a 4 year old.
