How did Joe Biden’s prostate cancer announcement unfold and what was the initial public reaction?

Don Lemon 0:00
Former President Joe Biden announced that he has prostate cancer and instead everybody sent out condolences. Everyone was very, you know, sad that it had happened and wanted to wish the former president their best. Okay. But, you know, the Trump administration doesn't appear to be capable of doing that at all. Well, initially it seemed that way. But then, you know, with that, with the outreach and I'm so sorry and we wish him the best, of course, comes an insult after that. Case in point, the vice president, the current vice president of the United States right now, J.D. Vance. Listen.
Unknown 0:42
Speaking of Joe Biden, sir, do you have any thoughts on his diagnosis?
J.D. Vance 0:46
Yeah, look, I mean, first of all, of course, we wish the best for the former president's health. And, you know, it sounds pretty serious, but hopefully he makes the right recovery. Look, I will say whether the right time to have this conversation is now or at some point in the future, we really do need to be honest about whether the former president was capable of doing the job. And that's no, you know, you can separate the desire for him to have the right health outcome from with a recognition that whether it was doctors or whether there were staffers around the former president, I don't think he was able to do a good job for the American people. And that's not politics. That's not because I disagreed with him on policy.
J.D. Vance 1:28
That's because I don't think that he was in good enough health. In some ways, I blame him less than I blame the people around him. And why didn't the American people have a better sense of his health picture? Why didn't the American people have more accurate information about what he was actually dealing with? This is serious stuff. And this is a guy who carries around the nuclear football for the world's largest nuclear arsenal. This is not child's play. And we can pray for good health, but also recognize that if you're not in good enough health to do the job, you shouldn't be doing the job.
Don Lemon 1:56
OK, first of all, J.D. Vance, you know, I want to just say F off. Because so I'll I'll just soften it by saying F off and not saying the actual word. Do you know why? Because it sounds like J.D. Vance could have been talking about Donald Trump. Remember Donald Trump? Oh, he's the most healthy. He's the healthiest. And whatever his doctor said about him at the time, which we knew was not true. All you have to do is look at the man and you can see that he is not the he's not a physical fitness model and what he eats, you know. Let's just put that aside. So I think J.D. Vance is not only the hypocrisy here, but to say that Joe Biden was not capable of being president of the United States when he actually ran the country and the economy and COVID and policy and all of those things far better than
Don Lemon 2:55
than what Donald Trump is doing right now, it makes, what he's saying makes absolutely no sense. It makes no sense at all because let's just say that Joe Biden, oh, grant him that.

How did J.D. Vance respond to Biden’s diagnosis and what political angle did he take?

Don Lemon 3:07
Let me just grant him that, not that I believe it, that you believe Joe Biden was incapacitated. Well, that would mean even in an incapacitated state, both as you believe, you guys believe mentally, and as you say physically, then that would mean that Biden Mentally and physically in incapacitated states that he was somehow capable of doing a better job than you, I think, speaks more about your incompetency rather than Joe Biden's incompetency, because all you have to do is look at the numbers. The numbers speak for themselves. Math doesn't lie. And so since we are here talking about the math and numbers, let's look at it. OK, let's look at some of the accomplishments. from the Biden administration.
Don Lemon 3:52
And so far, I don't see any accomplishments that I can speak of for the Trump administration, not anything positive except for maybe You know, igniting the left wing in Canada so that they could get a very liberal rather than a conservative prime minister when the conservative person candidate was supposed to win. But then because of Donald Trump's tariffs and the threats and all of that, he ignited the Liberal Party in Canada, causing them to win.
