“Nobody Cares About Joe Biden”: Laura Loomer Says She Has “No Sympathy” for His Family After Cancer Update

A deeply personal update about former President Joe Biden’s battle with advanced prostate cancer has quickly spilled into America’s political arena, after conservative activist Laura Loomer responded with a blistering attack on Biden and his family.

The controversy erupted after Hunter Biden disclosed new details about his father’s health, describing the former president’s cancer as painful, debilitating and more extensive than previously understood. Biden, now 83, was first publicly diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer in May 2025, months after leaving the White House. His diagnosis had already included cancer that had metastasized to his bones. But the latest update painted a more difficult picture.

Hunter Biden said during a BBC interview broadcast Friday that his father’s cancer had “metastasized into his bones and further,” adding that the disease was causing significant pain and was debilitating in several respects.

Within hours, the health disclosure became another flashpoint in the bitter political debate surrounding Biden’s presidency, his age, his fitness for office and questions about how much the public knew about his condition before his cancer diagnosis.

Laura Loomer Responds to Joe Biden’s Cancer Update

Loomer responded to the news with language that left little uncertainty about her position. In a lengthy social media post reacting to Hunter Biden’s remarks, Loomer declared that “Nobody cares about @JoeBiden” and said she had no sympathy for the former president’s family. She went further, accusing Biden, his relatives, his staff and doctors of misleading Americans about his physical condition during his presidency.

Loomer alleged that Biden had cancer during his presidency and accused doctors of fabricating medical information to make him appear healthier. She also revived allegations surrounding Biden’s cognitive health and claimed his family should have encouraged him to leave office. Those assertions should be separated clearly from the established medical timeline.

Biden’s office publicly announced his prostate cancer diagnosis in May 2025, after doctors evaluated him following increasing urinary symptoms and the discovery of a prostate nodule. His office said the cancer had a Gleason score of 9, Grade Group 5, and had already spread to the bone.

The reports reviewed here do not establish Loomer’s allegation that Biden knowingly had prostate cancer throughout his presidency, nor do they substantiate her claim that doctors fabricated medical records to hide a cancer diagnosis.

That distinction matters because the political controversy involves two separate issues: legitimate questions about Biden’s health and transparency during his presidency, and much more specific allegations about a concealed cancer diagnosis that have not been established by the publicly available evidence.

Hunter Biden Says His Father’s Cancer Is Painful and Debilitating

Hunter Biden’s comments were striking because they offered one of the clearest descriptions yet of the former president’s day-to-day condition.

During the BBC interview, Hunter said the cancer had spread and described his father’s situation as “very painful” and “very debilitating.” He became emotional discussing what the family was witnessing and called it difficult to watch.

Hunter nevertheless said his father remains involved in public life and continues speaking about issues important to him. Biden is also preparing a memoir titled “Promise Me, America,” expected after the 2026 midterm elections.

The contrast is significant. Publicly, Biden continues to engage with politics and personal projects. Privately, his family describes an 83-year-old man facing a serious metastatic cancer that is producing considerable physical pain.

That combination has renewed attention to a health story that has followed Biden since shortly after his presidency ended.

What We Know About Joe Biden’s Prostate Cancer Diagnosis

The original announcement came on May 18, 2025. Biden had undergone additional medical evaluation after experiencing urinary symptoms and after doctors identified a prostate nodule. His office subsequently announced that testing showed prostate cancer with a Gleason score of 9, placing the disease among the more aggressive forms of prostate cancer.

Doctors had also determined by then that the cancer had metastasized to his bones.

There was, however, one potentially important treatment characteristic: Biden’s cancer was described as hormone-sensitive, meaning treatments targeting the hormones that fuel prostate cancer could help control the disease. His office said at the time that this characteristic allowed for effective management despite the cancer’s aggressive nature.

Treatment subsequently included both radiation therapy and hormone treatment. A spokesperson confirmed in October 2025 that Biden was receiving both as part of his prostate cancer treatment plan.

Biden later completed a course of radiation therapy, although completing radiation did not mean that treatment or monitoring of his metastatic cancer had ended. Hunter’s latest comments suggest the disease remains a major health challenge.

Jill Biden Has Also Described a Difficult Cancer Journey

Hunter is not the only family member who has recently discussed Biden’s condition. Former first lady Jill Biden has described managing her husband’s cancer as an ongoing challenge. She recently said Biden was doing okay but acknowledged that because the prostate cancer had metastasized to his bones, living with the disease would remain a continuing reality. Reports on her remarks also said Biden undergoes regular testing as doctors monitor his condition. The Biden family knows cancer intimately.

Their eldest son, Beau Biden, died from brain cancer in 2015. That loss became one of the defining personal experiences behind Joe Biden’s long involvement with cancer research initiatives, including the Cancer Moonshot effort he championed as vice president and later revived as president.

The former president therefore finds himself confronting personally the disease he spent years urging the federal government and medical community to fight more aggressively.

Loomer Turns Biden’s Health Battle Into a Political Argument

Loomer’s response went well beyond criticism of Biden’s political record. She accused the Biden family of concealing his condition, alleged that his relatives had committed “elder abuse,” attacked Hunter Biden personally, and argued that the family did not deserve public sympathy. She also linked Biden’s cancer battle to broader accusations about how his presidency functioned.

The post quickly drew criticism online, with some social media users arguing that political disagreements should be separated from compassion toward someone dealing with cancer. Others continued debating the transparency of Biden’s White House and whether voters received enough information about his health while he was president.

That debate did not begin with Biden’s cancer diagnosis. Questions surrounding his age and physical and cognitive condition dominated parts of the 2024 presidential campaign. The issue became especially intense after his June 2024 debate performance, and Biden ultimately abandoned his reelection campaign before leaving office in January 2025.

Those events provide genuine grounds for continuing political discussion about presidential transparency. They do not, however, automatically prove every allegation now being made about when Biden’s cancer began, when it was diagnosed or what his doctors knew.

Biden’s Diagnosis Came Months After He Left the White House

The timing remains one of the most important facts in the controversy. Biden left the presidency in January 2025. His office announced his prostate cancer diagnosis in May 2025, less than four months later.

His office said doctors investigated after urinary symptoms worsened and a prostate nodule was discovered. The subsequent diagnosis revealed an aggressive cancer that had already reached his bones.

Because metastatic cancer is already advanced by definition, Biden’s diagnosis naturally generated questions about how long the disease may have been developing before doctors identified it.

But the existence of those questions is different from proof that Biden, his family or his physicians knowingly concealed a cancer diagnosis throughout his presidency.

Loomer’s post presented that theory as part of her broader criticism of the Biden family. The publicly reported timeline establishes a May 2025 diagnosis; it does not establish that Biden had previously received the same diagnosis and secretly withheld it.

The Political Fight Is Growing as Biden’s Health Worsens

What began as a family update about an aging former president has now reopened several of the fiercest arguments surrounding the Biden era.

For Biden’s family, the central issue is a man living with advanced cancer that Hunter Biden says is now painful and debilitating. For critics such as Loomer, the health update has revived accusations that Biden’s condition was hidden from voters during his presidency.

Both subjects are likely to remain politically sensitive. Yet the verified medical facts are narrower than some of the claims circulating online.

Biden was diagnosed publicly in May 2025 with aggressive prostate cancer carrying a Gleason score of 9 and bone metastasis. His cancer was described as hormone-sensitive. He subsequently underwent hormone treatment and radiation therapy. Now, in August 2026, Hunter Biden says the cancer has spread further and is causing substantial pain.

Loomer’s reaction transformed that update into an accusation about Biden’s entire presidency, telling the family that she had no sympathy and asserting that Americans did not care about the former president. Her remarks guarantee controversy. They do not settle the underlying medical questions.

What we can establish is sobering enough without speculation: Joe Biden is battling advanced metastatic prostate cancer, his family says the disease is causing serious pain, and a private health struggle has once again become inseparable from the political arguments that defined the closing years of his public career.
