A New York Times article in early July delved into the Biden family’s abandonment of Hunter Biden’s 4-year-old daughter, Navy Joan Roberts. The film seeks to restore that image despite the shocking ruthlessness of the Biden family. But in a rare, deeply personal glimpse into the sordid details of a public figure’s life, the Biden family’s treatment of this little girl is downright evil.
In today’s fast-paced news cycle, you might be tempted to dismiss this article as just a hoaxed political scandal made to grab headlines. Alternatively, some might see it as an exhausting function of tabloid culture. After all, Hunter Biden is actually more of a celebrity than a politician. But observing this in any of these ways lessens its evil. (Related: The Prodigal Son (Hymn to Hunter Biden)
Political scandals make headlines because they usually provoke outrage in one way or another. In many cases, we deal with bad behavior that is simply embarrassing or politically inconvenient. Very little harm is done.
The same goes for celebrity scandals. Infidelity and divorce, secrets and lies are all too common in celebrity obsessed culture. But even here, the harm is shallow, temporary, and often aimed at boosting reputation. Every celebrity scandal has an army of PR consultants fanning the anger behind the scenes.
Alternatively, policies and ideologies often invite outrage. Both can produce bad results. For example, the Democratic Party’s border policy open border ideology So they ignore the actual harm. drug and human trafficking It’s encouraging. But most politicians believe they are proposing policies in good faith. Democrats probably think they are giving unfortunate souls a chance at a better life.
Small-scale naval abandonment goes far beyond these scenarios. It is rare for a celebrity or politician to inflict such unscripted and specific harm on such a vulnerable person. It’s not an unintended consequence, it’s a highly immoral act in itself. By any reasonable standard, the family and human costs of such actions should outweigh political concerns. But the Bidens are willing to do whatever it takes to avoid recognizing political responsibility.
Times detail Despite continuing a relationship with her Navy mother, Landen Roberts, Hunter stopped responding to her messages when he learned she was pregnant. After Navy was born, he took them both out of health insurance. Walking away is bad enough, but taking positive steps to degrade a newborn’s physical health is hard to understand.
That’s what prompted the girl’s family to take legal action against Hunter. As a result, Mr. and Mrs. Biden will not even acknowledge her existence. Roberts claimed Hunter “couldn’t identify the child in her row of photos.” Joe and Jill Biden have only six publicly acknowledged grandchildren, and no one in the Biden family has ever met the little girl.

The new settlement reduced Hunter’s child support from $20,000 a month to less than the court originally ordered. The Navy will receive a portion of Hunter’s expensive art as part of the settlement. However, as the inflated prices of the works of art are very likely part of a money laundering scheme, according to House Republicans, the Roberts family is unlikely to receive a lot of money in a sale.
Still, Hunter is still trying to justify his actions, saying he became a father at “the lowest point in my life”.it may be truthbut that’s no excuse.
If you ask anyone who has children, they will tell you. “When you become a parent, your life no longer belongs to you, but to your children.” Your trials and tribulations exist only as a result of your child’s well-being. Whatever demons Hunter was fighting, he had a moral obligation to submit them to support his newborn daughter.
Instead, he chose to shoulder the legacy of shame and trauma before she was old enough to understand why. From the moment she was born, he ensured that her life would be determined by grappling with the question of why her rich, famous and powerful family disowned her while her whole world watched. .
Of course, The Times chose to accept intentional blindness. It created a false moral equivalence between Hunter and Mr. Roberts. The photos she posted of the Navy were “exploitative” and “weaponized against the Biden family.”
Hunters, on the other hand, are “privileged but troubled.” His addiction has “spun out of control”, but he is “responsible” for it.Joe and Jill continue to “strongly support” Hunter and have been hailed as “central figures”[ing] Their family lives around their grandchildren. ”
Nothing is farther from the truth, as The Times’ own reporting shows. Hunter is certainly the worst, but Joe also has a responsibility to show his “troubled” son how a real man – a real father – should behave. Instead, they all chose the coward’s way out, confident that no crime was serious enough to undermine the corporate media’s allegiance.
