Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-Texas) couldn’t spare a kind word for President Joe Biden even when talking about his recent cancer diagnosis.
Instead, Jackson lamented that a cancerous lesion had been removed from the president’s chest.
“Biden is the cancer,” Jackson said on Fox News on Sunday. “He’s what needs to be removed, not the lesion they found.”

Jackson, who served as White House physician to presidents Barack Obama and Donald Trump, has since turned into a conspiracy theorist ― and has become known for outlandish claims such as his pronouncement that Trump could live to 200 or that the former president should be the nation’s “MAGA king.”
Even by those standards, Jackson’s critics said he went beyond the pale with his cancer comments:
Ronny's trying hard to rise to the top of the basket of deplorables. https://t.co/GKB1IuDp2r

The normalization of such vile political discourse is just such a major outlier between the US and other rich democracies. The modern GOP is an extremist party in ways that are so different from other conservative parties around the world. https://t.co/8lnozo1pHJ

.@RonnyJacksonTX looks lost and confused when he sends out his hateful nonsense. Is there someone to help him? https://t.co/3DVwcGakUE

Setting aside the classlessness, this comment shows how crazy the hard right's view of politics has become. Joe Biden is a totally ordinary American president. Even if you disagree with his politics and think he's doing a bad job, it's nuts to refer to him as a "cancer." https://t.co/cb4a2l9fUM

And he's a doctor. With a medical degree. Who took an oath. But the president's doctors *shouldn't have removed* a cancerous lesion? Okay, Dr. Giggles. https://t.co/NmHGlpYscR
