Naomi Biden says Fox’s Jesse Watters crossed a line
Naomi Biden, the granddaughter of President Biden, decried Fox News host Jesse Watters over a monologue he delivered earlier this week attacking the president for his position on immigration and issues related to the southern border.
“I have heard so many lies about my family, it takes a lot to make me upset. This crosses the line,” Naomi Biden wrote late Wednesday night on X, formerly known as Twitter.
During his monologue that evening, Watters said Biden is “bad on the border” because “he’s not the best father.”
“The man can’t say no to his own son,” Watters said in reference to Hunter Biden, Naomi’s father — and a figure whose foreign business dealings have been the focus of an impeachment push from House Republicans.
“He can’t say stop, he can’t have consequences for actions,” he added.

Naomi Biden said she doesn’t know how he could “call himself a reporter” after his comments.
“I hope he never has a son or daughter who struggles with anything,” she wrote in her post. “You can disagree with his policies without being this ugly.”
Watters, an opinion host, was tapped last year to replace pundit Tucker Carlson in Fox’s 8 p.m. hour and is a regular co-host of “The Five,” the network’s top-rated show.
