Hey guise let’s start a conspiracy theory You know the lunatic fringe loves a good conspiracy!
Right wing leaders wasted no time turning President Biden’s cancer diagnosis into a political weapon, with Vice President JD Vance at the forefront. Vance openly accused Democrats of hiding Biden’s aggressive prostate cancer diagnosis during the 2024 campaign, questioning why Americans were not given a “better sense of his health picture.” He implied that senior advisors and aides orchestrated a calculated effort to keep the public in the dark, saying, “In some ways, I blame him less than I blame the people around him.” Vance insisted that this was about honesty and the seriousness of the presidency, not just politics, and argued that Biden was not healthy enough to serve.
Donald Trump Jr. quickly amplified these conspiracy theories, targeting the White House and Dr. Jill Biden. Don Jr. mocked Jill Biden’s doctorate in education and questioned how she could have missed “stage five metastatic cancer”-a term that does not even exist in medical science. He also resurfaced a 2022 video where Biden mentioned having cancer, using it as supposed proof of a coverup, even though Biden was referring to non-melanoma skin cancers that had been removed years earlier.
This pattern is nothing new for the right. Just as they exploited the attack on Paul Pelosi and Vince Foster’s death with baseless rumors, they are now using Biden’s illness to fuel suspicion and division. Despite no evidence of a coverup, these leaders continue to turn personal misfortune into political ammunition, prioritizing partisan attacks over facts or empathy.
