More Questions Remain: MSNBC is Questioning Timeline Around Biden’s Cancer Diagnosis – 5.19.25

News broke yesterday that Former President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer. His personal office released a statement that read in part:

“Last week, President Joe Biden was seen for a new finding of a prostate nodule after experiencing increasing urinary symptoms. 

“On Friday, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, characterised by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) with metastasis to the bone. 

“While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive which allows for effective management.”

Immediately after the news hit the wire, sincere prayers began pouring in from both sides of the political aisle for the 82-year-old’s recovery.

But there were also a number of questions surrounding this news.

the thing about the Biden health coverup is that it doesn’t actually implicate Joe Biden himself — no one thinks he was covering up *his own* mental decline, how could he?

Instead, it’s elected Democrats and operatives who are implicated— aka David Axelrod’s friends. https://t.co/lrtOI4Zry3

Cancer is terrible. I don’t wish that on anyone.

It’s also rather clear we’ve been lied to a lot, about both his mental and physical debilitations.

Cancer is bad. The timing is highly suspect. And the American people have been left in the dark about so much. https://t.co/Mpl3Wj8R4h

This morning even MSNBC featured doctors who were skeptical about the timeline of events leading up to this announcement.

Dr Zeke Emanuel on MSNBC: Biden had cancer while President:

"He did not develop it in the last, 100, 200 days. He had it while he was President. He probably had it at the start of his presidency, in 2021."

A doctor on MSNBC says Presidents Trump, Obama, and Bush all have easily accessible records confirming prostate exams.

Biden has no record of one in his last year and his recent medical reports are impossible to access.

Just vague summaries.

Democrat strategist David Axelrod wasted no time trying to shame people into silence by using Biden’s diagnosis as a reason why conversations around the cover up of the former President’s cognitive decline should be more “muted”.

David Axelrod suggests discussions about Biden decline should be muted, set aside amid cancer diagnosis

It doesn’t appear as if that is happening.
