Vice President JD Vance on Monday questioned former President Joe Biden’s past fitness for office following the recent disclosure that Biden has aggressive prostate cancer that has metastasized to his bones.
Vance directed his criticism at members of Biden’s inner circle, who have faced allegations of concealing his physical and cognitive decline. He asked why the American public had not been given a “better sense” of the former president’s health status.
“We wish the best for the former president’s health, and it sounds pretty serious, but hopefully he makes the right recovery,” Vance told reporters.
“I will say, whether the right time to have this conversation is now, or at some point in the future, we really do need to be honest about whether the former president was capable of doing the job.”
The VP suggested that doctors or staff members concealed the truth from the American public.
You can separate the desire for him to have the right health outcome with the recognition that whether it was doctors, or whether there were staffers around the former president…I don’t think he was able to do a good job for the American people,” Vance added.
“And that’s not politics, that’s not because I disagreed with him on policy, that’s because I don’t think that he was in good enough health,” he said.
“In some ways, I blame him less than I blame the people around him,” the VP said of Biden.
“Why didn’t the American people have a better sense of his health picture? Why didn’t the American people have more accurate information about what he was actually dealing with?” Vance posed.
“This is serious stuff. This is the guy who carries around the nuclear football for the world’s largest nuclear arsenal,” Vance continued.
“This is not child’s play. We can pray for good health, but also recognize that if you’re not in good enough health to do the job, you shouldn’t be doing the job,” he added.
