Joe Biden Still Has No Idea How Many Grandchildren He Has

Joe Biden still has no idea how many grandchildren he has. That's the story after the president appeared at a recent fundraiser and screwed up the total number of grandkids he has no less than three times.

See if you can make sense of this.

Biden spoke at a private fundraiser reception in Atherton, California, hosted at the home of Mark Heising and Liz Simons, two billionaire philanthropists. on Sept. 26. The president, while speaking about his family, struggled to remember how many kids his son Hunter Biden has, according to a White House transcript.

“And I have my deceased son’s two children, one is now a freshman at the University of Pennsylvania, one is a senior in high school; and my son Hunter has three children — four children, but we’re — they’re very small. Actually, five children — two of them are under the age of four. But they’re in the — and, you know, they’re grown women now,” Biden said during the reception.

How do you read a transcript of Joe Biden's words and not come away with a migraine? It's impressive how much he manages to talk himself into various corners. First, his son Hunter has three grandchildren. Then he has four. Finally, Biden arrives on five, stating that two of them are under the age of four, which is not true. But to follow that up, he then says they are "grown women now." 

It is really not this difficult to keep track of how many grandchildren you have. The number is seven. Biden has seven grandchildren. He has had seven grandchildren for several years now, to the point where it shouldn't still be a game of brain ping-pong to figure out. I guess that's what happens when a person doesn't acknowledge one of their grandkids until they are almost five years old. Old habits die hard.

As RedState previously reported, Biden didn't acknowledge the existence of one of his grandchildren, Navy Roberts, until this past July. That only came after Hunter Biden's child support proceedings became national news, representing an embarrassing story for the White House. Given that, the motive behind the belated acknowledgment has always been in doubt.

Regardless, Democrats have a choice here. Either Biden is a deeply unserious person suffering the deteriorating effects of senility and shouldn't be president, or he's a cold-hearted man who doesn't care about his own grandchildren and shouldn't be president. Pick one, because there's no other option where these repeated "mistakes" are normal.
