So there is a limited good there.
It's easy to want the best for your family while pressing a red button -- while wearing a red hat -- to have other families held in detention centers. Which is now ramping up again to the cheers of the people. I hope for the best for the grandchild. Assuming he or she grows up with a conscious and a working moral compass, it will be possible for the grandchild to both love his or her grandparent and also realize the the grandparent was a moral failure.
I am, of course, not pronouncing judgment upon anybody in this post, I'm merely pointing out possible states of the world.
