It took no time at all for leftists to use former President Joe Biden’s “aggressive” cancer diagnosis to call for a halt to the “cover-up” conversation.
As new books about Biden’s decline and how much people knew are scheduled to hit the shelves, the timing of this diagnosis couldn’t be better for Democrats looking to protect their party’s image. What better way to shut down all debate about the alleged cover-up of the president’s cognitive decline than to do so under the guise of respect for the ill?
That’s exactly what CNN’s David Axelrod called for on Sunday:
“As you mentioned, this comes at a time when there is so much, and continued attention, you know, placed on his mental acuity and stability. As well as ahead of this book release, and you mentioned there’s been a lot of discussion about it. His medical condition now, his announced medical condition now, do you believe that silences or delays a lot of conversations about his, you know, last year and a half of his presidency, for now?” asked host Fredricka Whitfield.
“Yeah, well I think those conversations are going to happen, but they should be more muted and set aside for now as he’s struggling through this. Yeah, it’s-, I just-, it shouldn’t be stunning because prostate cancer is so common among men at his stage in life. Most men, if they live long enough, deal with prostate cancer but, and it’s great news that they think that it’s manageable, but jarring nonetheless. You know, the thing, Fred, is that people who serve in these offices, they sort of become embedded in our lives,” Axelrod said. “And you know, and this is a reminder that no one’s immortal. And so it’s jarring. And I had the opportunity to serve with Vice President Biden for two years in the White House. And I was around when some of the concerns about health, Beau’s health-, later on when i was working as a consultant of the campaign, Beau’s health came to the fore, and I just feel for the family, you know, because it’s one more thing to struggle with right now.”
On Sunday, Biden’s office revealed that not only does the former president have an “aggressive” form of prostate cancer, but that is has also metastasized to the bone.
“Last week, President Joe Biden was seen for a new finding of a prostate nodule after experiencing increasing urinary symptoms. On Friday, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, characterized by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) with metastasis to the bone. While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive which allows for effective management. The president and his family are reviewing treatment options with his physicians.”
