Wishes for a speedy recovery poured in for former US President Joe Biden after his office on Sunday announced that he has been diagnosed with an "aggressive" prostate cancer.

Democratic luminary Van Jones excoriated top aides and allies around former President Joe Biden who allegedly helped cover up the octogenarian’s condition as a “crime against this republic.” Jones admitted that he was surprised by the degree of Biden’s decline and vented his outrage at the lengths Biden’s allies went to conceal it,

Biden reportedly failed to remember top aides’ names and once didn’t recognize George Clooney. Aides also worried he would need a wheelchair.

George Clooney was ambushed by a Fox News reporter outside of a New York City theater earlier this week where his Good Night, and Good Luck play has its current showtimes. The actor was asked why he waited “so long to talk about [Joe] Biden’s condition” during the 2024 presidential election.
