Jill and Joe Biden are going through one of the toughest phases of their lives. Just days ago, the former president was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, and despite the outburst of love and prayers they have received, one prominent voice is now criticizing Jill for “elder abuse.”

The Bidens have been through a lot together, but they are now facing trying times indeed following Joe’s diagnoses of aggressive prostate cancer that has already spread to his bones.

The statement officially came from the 82-year-old’s office earlier this month, with Biden having received his diagnosis some days earlier, having visited a doctor for urinary symptoms. One urologist has claimed that Biden may have had cancer for a long time.

The cancer Joe Biden has been diagnosed with is reportedly a more aggressive form of the disease. On the Gleason score, it has 9 out of 10, meaning it’s classified as “high grade.” As per Cancer Research UK, the cancer cells could spread quickly. Yet while the cancer is aggressive, Biden’s office stated that it was hormone-sensitive, which means it can possibly be managed.

Last week, President Joe Biden was seen for a new finding of a prostate nodule after experiencing increasing urinary symptoms,” the original statement read.

“On Friday, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, characterised by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) with metastasis to the bone. While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive which allows for effective management.”

Jill Biden accused of “elderly abuse” amid Joe’s cancer diagnsois

Joe Biden was, of course, forced to withdraw from the 2024 election amid concerns about his health and age. He is the oldest person in US history to have held the office, and upon leaving the White House in January, he and Jill retreated to their home in Greenville, Delaware.

Concerns about Joe’s health were raised both by political opponents and Democrats when he ran for a second term as president. Sadly, the spotlight has now shifted to Jill, with one Washington socialite accusing her of “elder abuse.”

DC Insider and longtime columnist for The Washington Post, Sally Quinn, appeared on journalist Tara Palmeri’s Tara Palmeri Show on Wednesday, accusing the former First Lady of the United States of pushing her husband into re-election even though he had an apparent cognitive decline.

“I blame Jill Biden for this. Jill Biden is his wife. And if Jill Biden had stood up and gone to him and said, ‘Joe, you can’t do it’… He wouldn’t have run,” Quinn said. “She clearly was in favor of his running and I just think it was a terrible disservice to the country.”

“She wasn’t protecting him… I thought it was elder abuse, really,” Quinn continued. “Everybody thought he shouldn’t run,” she told Palmeri. “People were just distraught that he was running and terrible for the party. I think everybody was horrified that he was put in a position where he was allowed to run by his staff and by his wife. People felt sorry for him. But still, it was his egotistical decision to stay in office, and look what happened.”

Several experts have questioned how Joe Biden’s doctors didn’t detect his cancer earlier, especially considering he was the president and received some of the best medical care in the world. Quinn also jumped on that.

“The president of the United States has the best medical care in the world, or should, and it should’ve been diagnosed a long time ago,” she concluded. “It’s hard for me not to believe that they didn’t know about it and were waiting to reveal it until it got too aggressive.”

Has Jill Biden undergone plastic surgery?

First Lady Jill Biden has always been considered beautiful, and that hasn’t changed with age. Today, she is 73 years old, and her youthful look continues to leave people baffled. But is there perhaps more than meets the eye? Well, plastic surgeons and beauty experts have weighed in on it.

Speaking with Express some years ago, Dr Omar Tillo, medical director at CREO Clinic and plastic surgeon, said Biden’s skin always looks radiant and refreshed. He added that she “likely” has had “many skin tightening treatments,” as well as a “personalized, clinical, skincare routine.

Omar Tillo suggested that Jill may have undergone beauty treatments such as Morpheus8, which uses micro-needling and radio frequency energy to resurface the skin. This further promotes collagen growth and shrinkage to help sculpt the face.
