Biden revealed she had cancer - and caused a stir

"The refineries I grew up with are the reason I and so many people I grew up with suffer from cancer," the president said at the announcement of a plan to fight the climate crisis.

The White House was quick to explain that he was targeting tumors that were removed before he ran for president, but the network erupted: "Biden has just revealed that he has cancer?"

"US President Joe Biden revealed tonight (Thursday) for the first time that he has had skin cancer in the past. This, as part of a speech he gave in Massachusetts in which he announced a government plan to fight the climate crisis. According to Biden, the disease came from living near oil refineries in his youth." "That's why I and so many other people I grew up with suffer from cancer, and why, for a very long time, Delaware has suffered from the highest cancer rate in the country," he said, stressing the need to stop using fossil fuels

. Even these days, however, the White House has made it clear that Biden is aiming for a period before he ran for the presidency of the United States.

This is against the background of the fact that at the age of 79, the questions about Biden's eligibility to serve as president are not new.

However, in his latest medical summary from last November released to the public there appears to be no indication that Biden is suffering from cancer or other significant health problems.

How dumb is this tweet?

Check out Biden's medical report.

Before he became president, he had had non-melanoma skin cancers removed.

Has no one at @RNCResearch ever had this common procedure?

Biden's remarks soon caused a stir on the networks.

For example, the Twitter account RNC Research, which is run by the Republican National Commission and describes itself as an account of "exposing the lies, hypocrisy and failed policies of Joe Biden's far left and the Democratic Party," wrote: "Did Joe Biden currently declare he has cancer? ? ".

In response, the editor of the Washington Post's fact-checking section Glenn Kessler responded: "How stupid is this tweet? Examine Biden's medical report. Before we became president, he had non-melanoma tumors on the skin that were removed. Did no one at RNC Research perform the This common action? "

Indeed, Biden's doctor, Dr. Kevin O'Connor, last year published a report that did not address the president as suffering from any current cancers. However, he did attribute Biden's skin cancer to sun exposure, not exposure to chemicals used in the oil industry. " It's good that President Biden did spend a lot of time in the sun in his youth, "O'Connor wrote.

These lesions were completely excised, with clear margins, "the doctor added.
