Joe Biden

MS NOW -   Former president Joe Biden expresses frustration and delivers a rebuke to those who suggested he covered-up and failed to disclose his cancer diagnosis in a timely manner, according to excerpts obtained by MS NOW from his soon to be released memoir. Biden announced his prostate cancer diagnosis publicly last May, days after he said doctors first diagnosed him.

In excerpts of his personal memoir, “Promise Me, America” set to be released next week, Biden writes, “What did surprise me was the cynical twist the story took in the political press and among political commentators.” “Almost immediately, the reaction was: ‘You hid it from us.’ ‘You must have known it.’ ‘You’re lying.’ Let me tell you something: There isn’t anyone in this world with stage 4 cancer who doesn’t wish it had been caught sooner.”

The former president did not call out anyone by name, but his successor suggested Biden wasn’t being honest about his health.
