Biden is the first sitting president to become a great-grandparent. President Joe Biden is being blasted after he tried to inject a bit of levity into a briefing on the California widlfires by announcing he had become a great-grandfather. However, the comment didn’t land and was condemned online given the disaster that was unfolding just miles away.

After noting that he’d received word that the home of his son Hunter — who is dad to new mom Naomi — had initially been believed to have burned down in the fire but was actually still standing, Biden revealed that he was now a proud great-grandfather, even as he appeared to be unsure of his grandchild’s gender at first.
“The good news is I’m a great grandfather as of today… A 10 pound baby girl… baby boy,” Biden said Wednesday in Los Angeles, adding that he would “remember this day for a lot of the wrong reasons.”. The president’s positive non-sequitur came after he’d received word that the wildfires plaguing Los Angeles have burned hundreds of structures and displaced tens of thousands, with little end in sight as they have not begun to be contained by California fire services, even with the allocation of federal resources by way of a disaster declaration that president signed earlier this week.
Nick Sortor, a pro-Trump influencer and self-styled journalist who frequently travels to disaster areas to find fault with Biden administration responses, took to X to slam the outgoing president. He wrote: “Joe Biden just used the Los Angeles Fire press conference to announce he’s a great-grandfather WTF? This man is an absolute disgrace.”.
