<\/p>\nFollowing former President Joe Biden\u2019s diagnosis of advanced prostate cancer, a journalist and socialite from Washington accused former first lady Jill Biden of \u201celder abuse\u201d in a shocking new interview.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In a lengthy interview with journalist Tara Palmeri on the \u201cTara Palmeri Show\u201d on Wednesday, Sally Quinn, a D.C. insider and veteran columnist for The Washington Post, attacked the former first lady. She claimed that despite his apparent cognitive decline, Jill Biden pressured him to run for reelection.<\/p>\n
\u201cJill Biden is to blame for this. His wife is Jill Biden. Additionally, if Jill Biden had told him, \u201cJoe, you can\u2019t do it,\u201d Quinn informed Palmeri, \u201cHe wouldn\u2019t have run.\u201d \u201cI just think it was a terrible disservice to the country, and she was obviously in favor of his running.\u201d<\/p>\n
After the \u201chideous\u201d June 2024 presidential debate, which sparked debate over whether Biden was fit to serve another four years, Quinn said she was appalled by Jill Biden\u2019s continued push forward and mobilization of support for her husband\u2019s campaign.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe wasn\u2019t keeping him safe. Really, I believed it to be elder abuse,\u201d Quinn said.<\/p>\n
Quinn, who has been dining with the Washington establishment for decades, claimed that the elite in Washington were concerned about Biden\u2019s capacity to manage another four years in the White House and that they were aware of his apparent deteriorating health.<\/p>\n
\u201cEveryone believed that he shouldn\u2019t run,\u201d she informed Palmeri. \u201cHe was running, and it was awful for the party, so people were just upset.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI think everyone was appalled that his wife and staff put him in a position where he was permitted to run,\u201d she added. People sympathized with him. However, his self-centered choice to remain in office is still evident in what transpired.<\/p>\n
The journalist was well-known for being married to Ben Bradlee, the editor of the Washington Post during the Watergate scandal, who passed away in 2014 from dementia.<\/p>\n
She claimed that Biden\u2019s tendency to forget things and to stray reminded her of the way her late husband behaved in his final years.<\/p>\n
Regarding Biden, she remarked, \u201cIt seems to me like the start of dementia.\u201d<\/p>\n
Along with the rest of the nation, the D.C. insider expressed shock at learning of Biden\u2019s late-stage cancer diagnosis and questioned how it could not have been detected earlier.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt should have been diagnosed long ago, and the president of the United States has the best medical care in the world,\u201d she said. \u201cI find it difficult to accept that they were unaware of it and held off on disclosing it until it became excessively violent.\u201d<\/p>\n
The former president\u2019s last known prostate cancer screening was performed in 2014, a Biden representative told Fox News.<\/p>\n
Following the publication of the new book \u201cOriginal Sin: President Biden\u2019s Decline, Its Cover-up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again\u201d by CNN journalist Jake Tapper and Axios journalist Alex Thompson, which details allegations of a White House cover-up of the then-president\u2019s apparent cognitive decline, Biden\u2019s health is once again in the public eye.<\/p>\n
