GOP Rep. Warren Davidson Enters Conspiracy Mode Over Joe Biden’s Cancer

Rep. Warren Davidson pivoted abruptly from sympathy to conspiracy on Fox Business.

Rep. Warren Davidson didn’t linger long on condolences before veering onto right-wing talking points spouted by conservatives including Alex Jones about Joe Biden’s cancer news. The Ohio Republican told Fox Business on Monday morning that the former president’s diagnosis was “brutal” and “I feel terrible for anybody that would go through that,” adding, “I hope he beats it.” In the next breath, he said he doubted that Biden only just received the diagnosis on Friday. “The whole thing was a big cover-up,” he said, questioning the timing of the announcement amid this week’s release of recordings from the former president‘s stumbling 2023 interviews with Special Counsel Robert Hur. “I suspect that the cancer diagnosis was part of the whole scheme,” Davidson added. Biden’s team announced Sunday that he had been diagnosed last week with an aggressive form of prostate cancer that had spread to his bones. Davidson was among a chorus of Republicans to frame it as part of a “cover-up.” The news comes as questions swirl amid the release of a new book, Original Sin, that claims Biden’s inner circle helped obscure the extent of his physical deterioration towards the end of his presidency.
