On Wednesday, US President Joe Biden declared to the media that he had cancer. However it’s unclear if he was mistaken. The president spoke at a Massachusetts event about climate change and claimed that his disease was caused by pollution from Delaware, his state.
“You had to put on your windshield wipers to get, literally, the oil slick off the window,”Biden first spoke of pollution close to his childhood home. “that’s why I and so damn many other people I grew up with have cancer.”

Biden, according to his doctor, had several of the following “localized, non-melanoma skin cancers”removed before becoming president. He has not attempted to connect these minor dermatological conditions to pollution before and he hasn’t referred to himself that way. “having cancer.”
Biden’s physical and mental fitness have been repeatedly questioned by his Republican opponents and American voters.
In the wake of the president’s comments, conservative pundits speculated whether Biden just admitted to having a serious illness, or whether he displayed one of his characteristic verbal slip-ups, which they have claimed prove the 79-year-old’s cognitive decline.
