Thu 21 July 2022:
The apparent claim that US President Joe Biden has cancer was clarified by the White House on Wednesday.
WH clarified that he was making reference to a skin cancer diagnosis he received prior to taking office that has since been treated.
Speaking on climate change in the US state of Massachusetts, Biden recalled growing up next to a series of oil refineries in his home state of Delaware, saying they were responsible for pervasive pollution in the area.
Did Biden just say he has CANCER? Very concerning if true, but I HIGHLY DOUBT he knows what he’s talking about. Biden’s cognitive decline is so bad, he’s 100% UNABLE to read from a teleprompter. This has gone too far. He needs to RESIGN!

“That’s why I and so damn many other people I grew up with have cancer, and why, for the longest time, Delaware had the highest cancer rate in the nation,” he said as he emphasized the need to shift away from fossil fuels.
White House spokesman Andrew Bates said the president was referring to non-melanoma skin cancers that were removed before he assumed office.
A summary of the president’s health released in November said Biden had “several localized, non-melanoma skin cancers removed” prior to his presidency, adding there were not any “areas suspicious for skin cancer at this time.” No biopsies were required, it added.
“This is what the President was referring to,” Bates said on Twitter.
