Meghan McCain Slams Joe Biden 'Health Coverup' Claims After Prostate Cancer Diagnosis

Meghan McCain is standing by the Bidens after former President Joe Biden was diagnosed with an "aggressive form" of prostate cancer.

The news comes nearly a year after the politician's withdrawal from the 2024 presidential elections following concerns about his well-being. At the time, he stepped down to allow former VP Kamala Harris to run for president, but his recent diagnosis sparked cover-up speculations.

While conspiracy theorists believe Joe Biden knew about his failing health long before announcing his prostate cancer diagnosis, political commentator Meghan McCain begged to differ. She shut down the rumors and theories on X, imploring the public to sympathize with the Bidens instead of criticizing them.

The media personality addressed the Biden conspiracy theories on X, calling out widespread coverage of the former POTUS's health. She stressed that Joe and his family deserved privacy while navigating his health battle, writing:

"I don't know if it's just my bias or background, but I don't want to hear anything else about Biden's health cover-up, tell-alls, interviews with staff, etc. Let the Biden family be in peace right now. This is all just so sad and imprudent."

Her plea for privacy continued in a separate tweet, where she described cancer as "the absolute worst" and pushed for sympathy. "It is hell. It is incredibly difficult for any family, anywhere that has to deal with it," McCain stressed, adding:

"Wishing nothing but healing, prayers, light, and strength to President Biden and his family. I don't believe times like these are appropriate for politics."

The former co-host on "The View" wasn't the only McCain sympathizing with the Bidens, as her mother, Cindy McCain, penned a sweet note to the former president. The matriarch shared her love on X, dropping a picture of her late husband, John McCain, posing next to Biden.

"Dearest Joe, my heart is breaking for you and your family. What I do know is your strength and tenacity will persevere. Thank you for introducing me to the person who would become my incredible husband," Cindy wrote.

"My life has been simply amazing. I owe some of that to you and Jill. Love, Cindy," she concluded. The McCain matriarch and her daughter were part of the numerous political bodies to honor Biden following his cancer diagnosis. Former VP Harris shared her support on X, penning her hopes for his recovery.

The love for Biden continued with former US president Bill Clinton, noting his friend has "always been a fighter" and would overcome his health battle. His wife, Hillary, echoed similar sentiments, writing:

"I'm thinking of the Bidens as they take on cancer, a disease they've done so much to try to spare other families from. Wishing you a speedy, full recovery."

The Obamas joined the list of supporters with former President Barack Obama dropping a joint statement from the couple. "Michelle and I are thinking of the entire Biden family. Nobody has done more to find breakthrough treatments for cancer in all its forms than Joe," his message partly read.

Biden's successor, President Donald Trump, also sympathized with the politician. He claimed he and his wife, Melania, were "saddened" by the news of his predecessor's diagnosis on his Truth Social platform, adding:

"We extend our warmest and best wishes to Jill and the family, and we wish Joe a fast and successful recovery."

Biden broke the news about his cancer diagnosis on Sunday, May 18, through a statement from his personal office. "Last week, President Joe Biden was seen for a new finding of a prostate nodule after experiencing increasing urinary symptoms," the update began.

"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 statement continued.

The message noted Biden and his family "are reviewing treatment options with his physicians," and the former president reacted to the situation on X the following day. He declared, "Cancer touches us all" before thanking fans, friends, and loved ones for their supportive messages, per CNN.

Before his prostate cancer diagnosis, many were concerned about Biden's health during the 2024 presidential elections. As the oldest president in US history, his attempt to run for office a second time sparked numerous worries over his underwhelming performance.

Biden's health became a widespread concern after his subpar performance against Trump during a debate last June. Months earlier, his physician, Dr. Kevin O'Connor, had declared him "fit for duty" following a health check in February 2024. However, many did not buy the doctor's claims.

CNN's Jake Tapper and Axios' Alex Thompson addressed Biden's declining health in a new book, stressing that he showed red flags that were either ignored or excused. The duo noted these signs of trouble began long before Biden's disastrous debate led to his withdrawal from the presidential race.

Here's hoping Joe Biden makes a full recovery!
