After briefly wishing former President Biden a speedy recovery, Vice President JD Vance pivoted to criticizing Biden's presidency and spreading conspiracy theories.

On Monday, MAGA Republican Vice President JD Vance was aboard Air Force Two returning from Vatican City where he attended Pope Leo XIV's first mass.

News of former Democratic President Joe Biden's diagnosis with metastatic prostate cancer had been released by his office on Sunday, so press aboard the plane asked Vance for his thoughts.

Vance began with the message one would expect from a self-professed devout Christian, saying:

"First of all, of course, we wish the best for the former President’s health. You know, it sounds pretty serious, but hopefully he makes the right recovery."

But then, MAGA Republican President Donald Trump's VP swerved into territory usually reserved for the 47th POTUS's social media rants.

Vance added:

"Whether the right time to have this conversation is now or at some point in the future, we really do need to be honest about whether the former President was capable of doing the job."

He continued with:

"You can separate the desire for him to have the right health outcome with a recognition that, whether it was doctors or whether there were staffers around the former President, I don’t think he was able to do a good job for the American people. And that’s not politics."

The VP tried to justify his criticism, saying:

"That’s not because I disagreed with him on policy. That’s because I don’t think that he was in good enough health."

Vance concluded by saying:

"In some ways, I blame him less than I blame the people around him. Why didn’t the American people have a better sense of his health picture?"
"Why didn’t the American people have more accurate information about what he was actually dealing with? This is serious stuff."

Vice President JD Vance on Monday wished former President Biden well following his cancer diagnosis, but also said it raises questions about how transparent the Biden administration was being about his health. “First of all, of course, we wish the best for the former president’s health. You know, it sounds pretty serious, but hopefully he makes the right recovery,” the vice president said aboard Air Force Two after meeting with Pope Leo XIV at the Vatican. “Whether the right time to have this conversation is now or at some point in the future, we really do need to be honest about whether the former president was capable of doing the job.” Vice President Vance said he didn’t believe President Biden was in “good enough health” to do the job. “In some ways, I blame him less than I blame the people around him,” he said. “Why didn’t the American people have a better sense of his health picture? Why didn’t the American people have more accurate information about what he was actually dealing with? This is serious stuff.” The former president was diagnosed Friday with an aggressive form of prostate cancer that has metastasized to his bones after a nodule was discovered on his prostate following urinary symptoms. “While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive which allows for effective management,” his office said in a statement. #jdvance #biden #cancer #cspan

Vance's commentary on President Biden's fitness for office drew criticism across all social media platforms for its lack of empathy.

Trump's VP was also mocked for his speaking skills, lack of self awareness, and inability to read the room before spouting off about the former President’s cancer diagnosis.

JD Vance or whatever his name will be tomorrow is an asshole. But more importantly he just came from a mass with the Holy Father who teaches love your neighbor as you love thee and comes out with the least empathic message to President Biden’s cancer diagnosis. Go to confession.

Many questioned Trump's ability to perform the duties of the President.

As well as the competence of the people in the Trump administration versus the Biden administration.

Vance is not the first member of the Trump camp to decide to attack President Biden and his family instead of showing compassion or basic human decency upon hearing of his cancer diagnosis.

Trump's eldest son, Don Jr., also faced backlash after using the news to tweet a jab at Dr. Jill Biden.

Scott Jennings Tried To Call Out Jon Ossoff For His 'Sexist Joke' About Trump's Young Aide—And It Didn't Go Well For Him

Conservative CNN commentator Scott Jennings was reminded of President Donald Trump's own misogyny after attacking Georgia Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff over his remarks about Trump's relationship with his aide Natalie Harp.

Last month, Trump reportedly took extraordinary security precautions during a trip to Turkey, secretly switching from Air Force One to a military aircraft after an alleged threat. Although he was publicly seen boarding the presidential jet, he was later transported to the military plane concealed inside a catering truck.

The internet is understandably impressed after New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani shared messages not only in Mandarin, but also in Bengali and Spanish, about his plan to give away over 2,000 free Broadway tickets to high schoolers in the city.

The initiative was launched by Mamdani in partnership with the nonprofit Theatre Development Fund (TDF). Students chosen through a lottery can receive up to two tickets each, with seven Broadway productions included in the program. The lottery opened on August 13 and closed at 10 a.m. on August 17, with winners set to be selected on September 1.
