Former President Joe Biden, wearing a seemingly fresh bandage on his head, told Nebraska Democrats Friday that his late son should have been elected commander-in-chief in 2020, not himself, in a speech ripping President Trump.
The ex-president invoked the 2015 death of his eldest son, Beau Biden, from brain cancer to attack Trump, who he accused of “cutting government funding for cancer research” after his administration made it a “priority.”
“Folks, I know what cancer research means,” Biden said in a speech at the Nebraska Democratic Party’s Ben Nelson Gala. “Cancer hits every family. It’s hit my family hard.”
“When the love of my life, my oldest son, the attorney general of the state of Delaware – who should’ve been the president, not me – volunteered to go to Iraq for a year, didn’t have to, he came back with stage four glioblastoma because he lived in a burn pit just like those guys did on 9/11, and he died,” the 46th president said quietly.
Biden, who was diagnosed with stage four prostate cancer earlier this year, then referenced his own battle with the disease.
“But when you get that research, research, they’re, they’re doing, when they diagnose it – in my case, I just had prostate cancer – so, and, I, uh, when you finish that round of treatment, you get to ring that bell at the end of each treatment,” he said. “Well, thank God for the doctors and nurses and incredible breakthroughs we’re making in cancer research.”
“Now, Trump and his Republican friends are cutting government funding for health care, making it more expensive.”
Biden, who turns 83 on Nov. 20, appeared at the event wearing a seemingly new bandage on the top-left portion of his head.

Whatever happened to the smartest person Brandon knows? And how far can Jill toss an ashtray?
Thank you Lord...that I dont have to listen to that Brandon voice saying “Folks” and “Well guess what...and by the way!”
and whispering into the microphone. Ugh. It was all a bad dream.
It was more like a nightmare.
He was grooming Beau to be pResident since high school
“When the love of my life, my oldest son”
Kinda sad that Hunter, Jill, Ashley, as well as the late first wife Neilia and daughter Naomi, all apparently are/were 2nd fiddle in Joe’s addled mind compared to the saintly Beau.
A turnip could have probably done a better job. At least it wouldn’t go wandering into the bushes when not being watched every second.
Joe turned Hunter into his bag man. Hunter is the direct result of Joe’s character flaws. He’s the Biff to Joe’s Willie Loman.
A complete waste of time.

HOT MIC: Former President Biden told he’s going to “stay on stage” after delivering remarks at an event for the Nebraska Democratic Party

When does he not?
““When the love of my life, my oldest son...”
I don’t wonder why his other son is messed up
” he came back with stage four glioblastoma because he lived in a burn pit”
1st - Nobody lives in a burn pit
2nd - where is the medical correlation between glioblastoma and proximity or exposure to burn pits ?
3rd - my brother died from glioblastoma and was never near a burn pit & neither was Ted Kennedy. In fact when an oncologist was asked if smoking could have caused it, the Dr said he wished he could make that connection, but there’s no correlation. Glioblastoma kills children. It can occur at any age.
Why does this man’s family keep putting him in situations where his dementia is embarrassingly on public display?
He seems to have ignored the fact that Trump passed the “Right to Try” Act.......
True.
He doesn’t even know what he’s saying. Someone mention to this putz that Trump signed the law allowing cancer patients to try experimental drugs that are giving hope to patients who see this as a possible way to beat that disgusting disease.
Sounds like Brandon snorted too much coke with Hunter again.
Or drank the bong water again.
Dr Jill, where are you?
Delusional, pathetic, P.O.S.
His dead son would have been an improvement.
“Biden dreamed of a Kennedy-esque dynasty, but all he got was a grifting crackhead”
Yep - and I heard that Beau voted for Trump...but his vote got lost....
