All in the President’s Family: Can We Judge?

How clever of Lance Morrow to dodge responsibility for his own views by invoking the Greek historian Herodotus as the hypothetical teller of the story of the personal tragedies of President Biden (“The Tragedy of Hunter Biden and the Daughter He’s Never Met,” op-ed, July 24). It then seems effortless for Mr. Morrow to profess that he knows the most righteous path of behavior for Mr. Biden to cope with immense sorrow and tragedy. Mr. Morrow entertains us with detachment, and without the burden of empathy, in his proposed solutions to the personal devastation within the Biden family.

I agree on Hunter Biden’s mistreatment of his daughter, the president’s unacknowledged seventh grandchild, but I think Mr. Morrow is much too lenient on the rest of the Biden family. First lady Jill Biden’s allowing six Christmas stockings to be hung for grandchildren—and one for the dog—was insulting. The president boasts that he has six grandchildren and loves them with all his heart.

As a mother of four, grandmother of seven and great-grandmother of 10, I can attest that the supply of love is inexhaustible and not something that can be stretched only so far. Jesus said, “Suffer the little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me.” The Bidens would do well to heed that admonition. Regardless of any dirt Congress can dig up on the Bidens, their treatment of little Navy Joan says all we need to know about the Biden family.
