Biden's Cancer Remark Referred to Past, White House Says (Snopes.com)

A remark made by U.S. President Joe Biden during a climate speech in Massachusetts resulted in the hashtag “#BidenHasCancer” trending on Twitter.

Biden’s remark about Delaware once having the “highest cancer rate in the nation” is true. You had to put on your windshield wipers to get, literally, the oil slick off the window. Here’s a chunk of the speech including the part where Biden mentioned cancer: And because it was a four-lane highway that was accessible, my mother drove us and — rather than us be able to walk. “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,” Roberts tweeted. No recent announcements had been made about Biden having cancer prior to his July 20 speech.

“He has had several localised, non-melanoma skin cancers removed with Mohs surgery before he started his presidency. You had to put on your windshield wipers to get literally the oil slick off the window. Biden’s physician, Dr Kevin O’Connor had mentioned his history of “non-melanoma” skin cancer in a health report last year. The White House quickly stepped in and posted a transcript of the speech, correcting his “she” reference as “I” such that the transcript read: “And I’m deeply proud of the work she is doing as First Lady with Joining Forces initiative she started with Michelle Obama when she [I] was Vice President and now carries on.” The first frost, you know what was happening? BIDEN IN APRIL: "I have asthma and 80% of the people who, in fact, we grew up with have asthma."
