One of the most disturbing lines Joe Biden has ever uttered in his over 50+ years in public office has to be when he’s talked about how your children belong to everyone.
He (along with members of his cabinet) has said variations of the phrase multiple times, with one of the more recent examples being during a speech he gave in April:
“There is no such thing as someone else’s child. No such thing as someone else’s child. Our nation’s children are all our children,” Biden said, quoting a former teacher during a speech in the White House Rose Garden honoring the 2023 national and state teachers of the year.
And then there was this Biden White House messaging during Pride Month, tweeting a clip where Biden can be heard saying “these are our kids” and these are “not somebody else’s kids, they’re our kids.”
That Biden has been painting himself as a champion for children has not been lost on Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who on the 2024 presidential campaign trail in Iowa last week opined that maybe Biden should instead focus on finally acknowledging his four-year-old granddaughter Navy Roberts, who is the daughter of Biden’s troubled son Hunter Biden and Lunden Roberts, a now ex-stripper he met in 2017:
“When Biden says they’re all of our kids, what I say is: why don’t you pay more attention to your granddaughter in Arkansas, or at least acknowledge that she exists?”

He made similar remarks at another Iowa event:
“You’re talking about all of our children; I have something to say to [Joe Biden],” DeSantis said. “Why don’t you focus on spending more time with your granddaughter in Arkansas, or at least acknowledge she exists, before you worry about our children?”DeSantis then directed his attention to a group of protesters who were heckling him, displaying an LGBT pride flag.”And they shouldn’t be worrying about our children either,” DeSantis continued, pointing to the protesters. “We don’t want you indoctrinating our children. Leave our kids alone!”
Watch:
Even more recently, DeSantis responded accordingly on Friday to attacks the Biden-Harris administration has made on revised Florida education standards, pointing out that they have a history of being dishonest about what’s being taught there and seem to be “obsessed” with the Sunshine State. DeSantis went on to suggest that the obsession was so strong that “Maybe if Biden’s granddaughter moved to Florida he’d actually visit her.”
DeSantis’ pointed criticism of Biden on the granddaughter issue prompted Florida Politics publisher Peter Schorsch, a frequent critic of DeSantis, to claim DeSantis “went beyond the pale” in his remarks:
Biden’s critics, on the other hand, had some questions and thoughts:
‘Nuff said.
