Questions are swirling after a clip from 2022 recently resurfaced, appearing to show former President Joe Biden admitting he has cancer.

His comment came during a visit to Brayton Point in Somerset, Massachusetts, where he marked the closure of a coal-fired power plant and praised federal investments in clean energy.
“That’s why I and so damn many other people I grew up (with) have cancer,” Biden said at the podium during his July 20, 2022 visit.

However, his comment came while discussing oil pollution in his home state of Delaware.
Watch:
Donald Trump Jr. led a wave of online critics questioning whether Biden had accidentally revealed the truth.
“Joe says he had cancer 2 years ago & everyone said it’s a gaffe,” Trump Jr. wrote in a social media post on Monday. “Now that he’s no longer useful they’re all shocked that they missed it. Everyone was in on the cover-up! Who was running the country? We need accountability!”

“These lesions were completely excised, with clear margins,” the report continued, according to the Boston Herald.
O’Connor linked the skin cancer to sun exposure.
Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel told MSNBC that Biden had cancer for “maybe even a decade.”
He called it “surprising” that Biden’s cancer could progress unnoticed to the point that it is “in the bone.”

O’Connor, Biden’s doctor, is also facing scrutiny after questions arose regarding his February 2024 assessment declaring Biden “fit for duty” — just four months before Biden’s disastrous debate with Trump.

“It takes a long time to get to that situation … to get to a stage nine. I think that if you take a look, it’s the same doctor that said that Joe was cognitively fine. There was nothing wrong with him,” he added.
