Joe Biden mistakenly referred to Glasgow as part of England and appeared to suggest he currently has cancer, forcing a swift White House clarification, in the US president’s latest public gaffe.
Mr Biden caused immediate confusion as he appeared to say “That’s why I, and so damn many other people I grew up with, have cancer” during a speech on climate change on Wednesday.
While Mr Biden used the present tense, White House officials said the president was referring to his past treatment for skin cancer.
Mr Biden’s deputy press secretary Andrew Bates pointed to his 2021 health exam which noted his treatment for “several, localised non-melanoma skin cancers”, which he had removed before he took office.
However, Mr Biden’s comments were widely mocked by Republicans who have seized on each of the 79-year-old’s regular verbal missteps as evidence of his ailing mental acuity.
No one has ever claimed Joe was the sharpest knife in the drawer even as a young man.
It’s curious how the 80s Spitting Image sketch series, “The President’s Brain Is Missing” doesn’t apply when the ventriloquist dummy in the White House is controlled by the democrat party.
The Daily Mail should know. They’ve even got all the details on Putin’s cancer.
“Republicans pounce”
@Pedant
Sometimes they seize.
Sam, Putin has steroid overuse issues. Must be true, I heard it on the BBC.
Sure, but it’s not just errors reading from the Presidential teleprompter, is it? He’s shambling around like some dementia addled old fogey from a nursing home.
If he wasn’t POTUS it wouldn’t matter, but he is. The fact that the Whitehouse refuses to acknowledge this and the mainstream media refuses to question the Whitehouse just confirms the whole lot are in cahoots.
…because otherwise “Orange Man Bad” or something…
I would like to hereby categorically deny and disavow these malicious rumours that I have anything to do with Joe Biden.
Pedo Joe Biden got it wrong for sure. He doesn’t have cancer. He and his Democratic cohort ARE THE CANCER.
The US won’t get better until it is firmly removed root-and-branch from the body politic. Unfortunately, it metastasised long ago.
I’m actually quite surprised by dopey Joe. Some of his gaffes and missteps on the campaign trail were seriously gross. Lost to the world.
Now he’s a bit more compos mentis, it seems.
I wonder what drugs he’s on. Perhaps I should stockpile some for later.
Never misunderestimate your enemy while he’s making a beefsteak.
Joe Biden had dementia, as anyone who has dealt with the issue knows. It was obvious during the primaries, and it appears his dementia has accelerated over the past several months. His symptoms are in the moderate to severe stage, and are being exhibited with greater frequency.
Jill Biden should be charged with elder abuse in a court of law.
I wonder what drugs he’s on.
All of them.
“However, Mr Biden’s comments were widely mocked by Republicans who have …”
… go on, say it! Say the word!
“… seized”
Yaaaay!
Speaking of Biden… The News states he has tested positive for WuFlu.
Now if ever Mother Nature should do her damned job….
Grikath:
Perhaps he has got Covid in the same way Jeffrey Epstein was suicidal.
But… but… but… He got all the shots!
Now that Biden, at 79 and clearly not in the best of health, has been infected and is doing well we need to throw that in the face of the zero Covid zealots and anyone else agitating for further measures every time there’s an outbreak of snuffles.
And Trump sends Joe his best regards in his own inimitable style:

When I heard news Biden had WuFlu again – 3rd / 4th time this year? – I burst out laughing and continued for some time. Still smile and snigger when reminded

Joe Biden, America’s Foremost Quadruple-Vaccinated Dementia Patient, Tests Positive For Corona
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said that Biden was experiencing “mild symptoms” and has begun taking Paxlovid, an antiviral drug designed to reduce the severity of the disease
Oh please, Paxlovid rebound, do not fail us now, in this our hour of deepest need…

He’ll be fine. His wife’s a doctor.
So Pedo Joe has COVID…again?
Strange that the worlds most vaccinated individual (can’t use the term “man” for such a being) keeps getting COVID?
Now what wouldn’t surprise me is him getting dying-old-guy problems like micro-strokes and other problems. Needs to rest up for a couple of days until the most obvious symptoms abate? Just throw “He caught COVID-19 variant Mashugana”. It ain’t like the press are going to suddenly start asking questions about Pedo Joe’s health, are they now?
@John Galt
Some press do ask but
