Biden's 2022 cancer comment: A slip or hidden truth? Old video of former President goes viral

An old video of Joe Biden seemingly admitting to having cancer in 2022 has gone viral on social media, after the former US president was recently diagnosed with an “aggressive” form of prostate cancer. The resurfaced footage has reignited conspiracy theories among right-wing figures, who accuse Biden’s team of covering up his health condition for political reasons. The clip, from a press conference on July 20, 2022, in Somerset, Massachusetts, shows Biden discussing the environmental impact of oil pollution in Delaware. “That’s why I, and so damn many other people I grew up with, have cancer,” Biden said at the time. The White House had later dismissed the statement as a “gaffe,” clarifying he had been referring to past skin cancer treatments, not an active diagnosis.► Subscribe to The Economic Times for the latest video updates.
