President Joe Biden was raked over the coals online after he failed to acknowledge the correct number of granddaughters he has, with several critics suggesting that he did so on purpose.

On Friday, while hosting the national champion Louisiana State University women’s basketball team at the White House, Biden praised the team’s victory as well as “women’s sports” in general, though most Democrats support allowing biological men to compete in all-female events.

“The way in which women’s sports has come along is just incredible. And you’re changing, uh, it’s not just in sports, it’s across the board in every single thing,” Biden said in addressing the team.

“It’s really neat to see since I’ve got four granddaughters,” he added.

In fact, Biden has five granddaughters; first son Hunter Biden fathered a child out of wedlock during a short relationship with a former Washington, D.C.-area stripper who has since taken him to court over financial support for the now-four-year-old girl who he first attempted to deny.

Twitter users let the president have it.

“The way this wretched family treats that innocent little girl is disgusting. She didn’t ask to be born. The only positive is she’s not around that bunch of perverts to be abused. Like showers with dad when she’s way too old. Awful situation. Poor kid,” one user wrote.

“Forgot one,” said another user, posting a photo of the biological granddaughter.

A lab test has confirmed that Hunter Biden is the little girl’s father. In January, he asked a judge to bar the granddaughter from using his surname.

The request was filed with the court on Jan. 6, according to reports, just a few weeks after the mother, Lunden Roberts, filed a petition to change the surname of the child, who currently goes by Navy Joan Roberts.

Lunden, 31, who is raising the couple’s daughter in Arkansas, filed her petition in December amid a continuing paternity lawsuit over child support payments that had been adjusted due to Biden’s “financial circumstances,” which he said had undergone “substantial, material change.”

Though Biden claims the name change would harm the couple’s daughter, her mother argued that it would actually be beneficial to her because it is “now synonymous with being well educated, successful, financially acute and politically powerful.”

And earlier this month, a state judge in Arkansas ripped first son Hunter Biden during a court-ordered appearance on Monday, accusing him of attempting to conceal his income in a child support case.

“Judge Holly Meyer rebuked the 53-year-old’s legal team during the two-hour proceedings, saying they wrongly concealed details of filings that had already been submitted to the court as part of the ongoing legal saga,” the New York Post reported.

“The ability to redact is somewhat being abused,” Meyer told Biden’s lawyers before she ordered them to refile some related documents.

The Post noted that it was unclear what financial data was included in the ordered filing. Biden, who has never met his daughter, alleged he had experienced a “substantial material change” in his income.

The judge ordered Hunter to answer additional written questions about his investments, art sales, and other financial transactions.
