IN FULL CONTEXT Biden's quote from last week was:
“A lot of you understand what loss is and when loss occurs, you know that people come up to you and tell you ‘I understand’ if you lose a husband, a wife, a son, a daughter, a family member,” he said. “That’s why I’ve worked so hard in my career to make sure that — I promise you if I’m elected president, you’re going to see the single most important thing that changes America, we’re going to cure cancer.”
The OP and a lot of this thread sound as cruel and misinformed and perplexing as the words of Donald Trump Jr. last night as he mocked Joe Biden for saying he wants to cure cancer. Remember this is an issue Biden has focused on since losing a son to brain cancer in 2015. The former vice president also leads a national effort on eradicating cancer, known as the “Cancer Moonshot.” Biden has also launched the Biden Cancer Initiative, which seeks to build on the work of the government effort.
Then this punk, Junior, outrageously mocks a lifelong public servant who has a very deeply personal reason for his aspirational words. Cruel is the only way to describe it!
“What was the good one last week?” Trump Jr. told the crowd at the rally. “Remember? Joe Biden comes out, ‘Well, if you elect me president, I’m going to cure cancer.’ Wow, why the hell didn’t you do that over the last 50 years, Joe?”
I wonder if ignorant Don Jr even knows, by today, that the very words he mocked are ones his Dad copied and boasted about as his very own ideas, last night?
Last night President Trump stated: "We will come up with the cures to many, many problems, to many, many diseases — including cancer and others, and we’re getting closer all the time.”
In his speech, Trump also pledged to “eradicate AIDS in America once and for all.”
I guess it is true: "you can't fix stupid".
