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.

I agree. His siblings are louts and he probably was too.
There ya go Hunter good old Dad thinks you are the leftovers.
Why so prevalent these days? Didn’t use to be.
I think what Joe is trying to say is that he’s ready for the next evolution.
Jill’s busy testing out new secret service guards.
The answer is obvious in my mind. They are trying to reassure old Democrats to think that there is still the “old Democrat” wing of the party that has a voice.
Every pronouncement by the Democrat party members is meant to influence some demographic. All lies, but effective.
The modern Marxist Dems cannot lose their older loyal base yet.
I can actually “get” Hunter’s behavior to a degree. I have rarely seen a father exhibit such outrageous favoritism to a child especially in public. To this day I have absolutely no idea which child my parents favored more.
My sister died of glioblastoma at age 52 and was never anywhere near a burn pit or any other cancer causing source as far as we know.
The only thing Biden can still do is read with emphasis from a Teleprompter. The people who are putting him out there are just evil as are most prominent Democrats and their willing accomplishes in the legacy media. I have no expectations of anything but evil from people who support abortion until the moment of birth.
I believe these abhorrent democrats make the most outrageous statements knowing the media will provide cover for them. Then they keep repeating them knowing their base will cheer them on, and the brainwashed students at our colleges and universities are conditioned to accept their BS without question.
Beau was in reality, Joe III, and Hunter’s first name is Robert. And don’t forget, after the death of St. Beau, Hunter was schtupping his widow.
Joe Biden never was a president only a stage prop for the party like most of the democrats are.
I thought he said his son Beau died in the Battle of the Bulge or was it the Raid on Entebbe?
There are tens of millions of people in the US who would have been a better President than you, Joe.
Chomo Joe was tasked to cure cancer for 8 years as VP and said he would cure it as Chief Chomo. But it’s all Trump’s fault while the democrats refuse to fund the government.
You forgot, "No joke."
It is pathetic Jill Biden keeps trotting out Joe for another rambling and mostly incoherent speech, but she needs the money. I swear once Joe assumes room temperature, Jill would not be above exhibiting his rotting corpse at county fairs if it would profit her a nickel.
WOULD BEAU HAVE USED AN AUTO PEN???
BECAUSE HE IS THE MONEY MAGNET.
