(Molly Bruns, Headline USA) President Joe Biden made a statement in a recent interview implying that he may have cancer, The Liberty Daily reported.
It is unclear whether this was just another typical Biden gaffe, or it was an admission of diagnosis.
He said, “I and so many other people I grew up with have cancer.”

This lead to a very muddled and confused reaction on social media.

Tomorrow’s press conference:
Reporter: so does the president have cancer as he said?
Press Secretary: Well let’s back up and look at the facts and history… Putin invaded Ukraine.— Metaltarian (@metaltarian) July 20, 2022
According to The Citizen Free Press, the White House released a statement shortly after the gaffe to clarify that Biden recently underwent a procedure to have several non-melanoma skin cancers removed.
After his “I and so many damn people have cancer” remark, the @WhiteHouse was quick to clarify that @JoeBiden has had several non-melanoma skin cancers removed, but remains a “healthy” 79-year old

Biden, who was blaming his non-cancerous melanomas on oil production, caught a great deal of flack from Twitter users for his supposed gaffe and quick-to-follow cleanup crew.
No skin cancer is caused by oil. I have had Melanoma and Squamous. It is caused by sun exposure. Renewable energy can be blamed before oil.

Oh. So he may as well have said “that’s why I and so many others have chicken pox.”

I was certain it wasn’t brain cancer. I’ll give him that. One must possess a brain first.

Well dang, my dad’s had the melanoma kind removed a couple times and never says he’s had “cancer”.
