The White House has now responded to Biden’s cancer claim and, as you might have guessed, they are throwing cold water on it.
Mostly.
Update: WH official tells me POTUS was referring to past removal of skin cancer in his remarks from Massachusetts.
Biden mistakenly stated (present tense) that he has cancer.

They claim he “mistakenly” stated that he has cancer now.
Instead, they say he’s referring to a past skin cancer that he had removed.
However that doesn’t totally explain away all of his remarks. As Heinrich pointed out in a separate tweet, the past documented skin cancer wasn’t due to oil slicks on his windshield. It was attributed to the sun:
Although… Biden’s 2021 health summary attributes past skin cancer to sun exposure:
“… President Biden did spend a good deal of time in the sun in his youth.
He has had several localized, non-melanoma skin cancers removed with Mohs surgery before he
started his presidency.” https://t.co/5ZZqi3LjKe pic.twitter.com/nea57GTeU4— Jacqui Heinrich (@JacquiHeinrich) July 20, 2022
Biden claims he has it now but he doesn’t. He then attributes it to oil and gas companies when it really came from the sun.
So basically it’s all lies, as usually get from him, mixed in with a little dementia.
