A top oncologist who once worked for former President Joe Biden claimed Monday that his old boss must have had prostate cancer long before Sunday’s public announcement of his diagnosis and suggested the oldest-ever president may even have had the disease for “a decade.”
Dr Ezekiel Emanuel, a former member of Biden’s transition team who helped craft the Obama-era Affordable Care Act, stunned MSNBC’s left-leaning “Morning Joe” with his analysis that the 82-year-old likely had cancer while serving as president.
“He’s had this for many years, maybe even a decade, growing there and spreading,” Emanuel told the Biden-supporting hosts early Monday. “He did not develop it in the last 100 to 200 days.”
