Former President Joe Biden’s Sunday prostate cancer diagnosis was met with a wave of skepticism, conspiracy theories, and outright mockery from far-right influencers online.
Biden, 82, was diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer following routine screening, his office said.
While many public figures expressed sympathy and well-wishes, prominent right-wing accounts on X responded with accusations that Biden had long hidden his condition or used it for political cover.
Conservative influencer Rogan O’Handley, known online as DC Draino, wrote an angry screed against Biden that was retweeted and liked nearly 10,000 times in just a matter of hours.
“Joe Biden stole the 2020 election,” it began, and continued with similar fury such as writing that the former president “flooded our country with more than 10 million illegal aliens.”
“Some people seem to forget that he is a career criminal who almost destroyed America,” concluded that post going viral with MAGA.
Joe Biden stole the 2020 election
He flooded our country with more than 10 million illegal aliens
He stacked our courts with far left radicals
He coordinated the 4 criminal indictments of his political opponent
He demonized half the country as dangerous extremists and induced…

Another far-right commentator got hundreds of retweets for saying the whole thing was fake and arguing you’d have to have a mental incapacity yourself to believe otherwise.
My theory:
Joe Biden has some other form of cognitive illness that is most likely going to take him from this world.
However, that diagnosis and knowledge of it would support the case for throwing out all of his illegal pardons via autopen.
Solution:
Stage 5 prostate cancer.— Brenden Dilley (@WarlordDilley) May 18, 2025
In order to believe the Biden cancer diagnosis, you have to first believe that Biden and his family would wilfully tell you the truth about anything.
In order for that to happen, you have to be fucking retarded.

Major MAGA media figure Laura Loomer claimed to have known all along, writing that she “reported on Biden’s terminal illness almost a year ago” and saying he could “die in the next 2 months.”
Loomer did not question the truth of the diagnosis or insult Biden in the post, but said that releasing the news now is “a PR strategy to shame the Democrats who are coming out with a book about the cover up of Biden’s health crisis.” The PR claim was prominent in many other responses as well.
I reported on Biden’s terminal illness almost a year ago.
Terminal is 6 months to a year left to live. There are always outliers, but I suspect Biden’s treatment isn’t responding anymore which is why the family is only now admitting he is terminally ill.
He could die in the… https://t.co/W7NwWkJDw2

Releasing Joe Biden’s diagnosis on a Sunday evening is strategic.
They want all the Monday morning shows talking about it because Jake Tapper has a book to sell.
It’s a PR move.

Others, including the major MAGA influencer “catturd” also shared their thoughts on the announcement:
I don’t believe anything coming from Joe Biden or his team.
They’ve lied about every single thing for years.

Joe Biden has Cancer with metastasis to the bone.
This is considered advanced.
If he had the best medical care and screenings for 4 years they’d have found it and it means he’s likely had it since before dropping out.

Joe Biden has been diagnosed with aggressive cancer.
I’m not a doctor. So I wouldn’t know… but shouldn’t this have been picked up by the White House doctor when he went in for his annual check up? pic.twitter.com/M6dQ5Cfdwm

🚨FLASHBACK: To July 2022, when Joe Biden had a “gaffe” where he said that he had cancer.
Well now, isn’t that just interesting.
Though I’m sure this was just because of his stutter, right? 🇺🇸pic.twitter.com/AtzsALk4Tn

Just a few months ago the White House said former president Biden was extremely healthy.
Now suddenly he has prostate cancer that has spread to his bones?
Did the Biden administration ever tell us the truth about anything?

Biden’s office said Sunday afternoon, “Last week, President Joe Biden was seen for a new finding of a prostate nodule after experiencing increasing urinary symptoms. On Friday, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, characterized 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. The president and his family are reviewing treatment options with his physicians.”
