Naomi Biden said a Fox News segment about President Joe Biden was "ugly" and crossed the line.
The president's granddaughter complained about a segment on the channel in which host Jesse Watters said Biden would have difficulty on the ongoing political issue of the border with Mexico because he is "not the best father."

Naomi Biden, Hunter Biden's daughter, said on X: "I have heard so many lies about my family, it takes a lot to make me upset. This crosses the line. Not sure how this man can call himself a reporter and I hope he never has a son or daughter who struggles with anything.
"You can disagree with his policies without being this ugly."
Newsweek has approached Fox News via email out of hours for comment.
Watters appeared to be referring to some of the struggles faced by Biden's son Hunter Biden, Naomi's father. Hunter Biden has expressed problems with substance and alcohol abuse and has also faced a number of legal problems.
Republicans in the House have also opened a formal process for impeachment into Biden, accusing him of profiting from hunter Biden's business dealings during his time as vice president. There has been no evidence of this.
"The man can't say no to his own son," Watters said. "He can't say stop, he can't have consequences for his own actions."
Newsweek has approached the White House for comment.
The Biden administration is facing considerable pressure from conservatives over the issue of border and immigration, with Republicans unhappy about the number of people crossing over and White House policies.
Biden has urged Congress to grant him a deal also tied to funding for Ukraine and Israel. "Give me the money," he said to reporters on January 18.
Naomi Biden has already bit back at comments made against her family this year, saying Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene was "lying" during a House hearing attended by her father.
Hunter Biden made an appearance at a House Oversight and Accountability Committee meeting that turned chaotic. He made a swift exit as Greene, a MAGA Republican that brought nude pictures of Hunter Biden to a panel hearing, began to speak. Greene said he had "fled the scene" because she was about to speak "the truth" about him.
"Too bad his daddy can't save him this time," Green said.
In response, Naomi Biden wrote: "Actually, it appears everyone fled the scene when she started lying."
Newsweek has approached Greene's office via email out of hours for comment.
The panel has since voted to move contempt of Congress resolutions to the House, these are on hold amid talks between Hunter Biden's camp and the Republican-led committee.
The president's son previously took issue with a subpoena from the panel requiring him to testify in private and said he would be willing to do it publicly. An NBC report indicates he is now willing to testify in private.
"Staff for the committees and lawyers for Hunter Biden are working to schedule Hunter Biden's appearance," a spokesperson for the panel told NBC.
