‘The noise is so damn disrespectful’: Joe Biden’s daughter slams claims about former US president’s mental health

Ashley Biden, daughter of former U.S. President Joe Biden, has strongly pushed back against recent speculation about her father's mental and physical health, calling the claims “disrespectful” and “untrue.”

In an emotional Instagram post featuring a photo with her parents, Jill and Joe Biden, on the beach, Ashley defended the president’s fitness and work ethic. “He aged, YES — as we all do! And the stress of the presidency accelerates that,” she wrote. “But he was always MORE than capable of doing the job. And a damn good one. He worked harder than anyone I have ever known.”

She slammed what she called "fake news" and baseless attacks. “The noise is so DAMN disrespectful and untrue... It’s just that – noise/static – created by those committed to perpetuating and profiting from some real BS,” Ashley added. “Get lost with your fake news and anonymous sources.”


Ashley’s comments come as her niece, Naomi Biden, also lashed out at a recently released book critical of the president. Naomi, daughter of Hunter Biden, described the book on X as “political fairy smut for the permanent, professional chattering class,” accusing its authors of peddling “unoriginal, uninspired lies” for profit.

“This book is a bunch of lies written by irresponsible, self-promoting journalists out to make a quick buck,” Naomi wrote.

Ashley echoed the frustration, noting that while she could be angry about the attacks, she chose to remain thankful: “I’m too grateful to be angry about all the bulls---,” she said.

She also expressed appreciation for the public support her family received after President Biden’s prostate cancer diagnosis became public in May. “This family’s only coverup is a beach coverup,” Ashley quipped.

The Bidens’ sharp defense reflects growing tensions as scrutiny around the president's age and health continues to shape political discourse heading into the 2024 election.
