Biden Touts ‘Biden Cancer Initiative,’ Which Closed After Spending on Salaries, Nothing on Research
Breitbart ^ | 2 Feb 2022 | JOEL B. POLLAK

Posted on 02/02/2022 4:05:14 PM PST by Hojczyk

President Joe Biden touted his past support for an organization called the Biden Cancer Initiative on Wednesday, as he announced a “Moonshot” on cancer research — but ignored its scandal-plagued history, which arose in the 2020 campaign.

As the New York Post reported in 2020, the organization — which Biden opened after leaving office in 2017, but closed just two yeas later — spent no money on cancer research, but spent millions of dollars of donors’ money on staff salaries.

The Washington Free Beacon had reported earlier in 2020 that the Biden Cancer Initiative spent 65 percent of its total budget of nearly $5 million on staff compensation between 2017 and 2018. It spent nothing whatsoever on cancer research.

Moreover, as Breitbart News noted, Biden’s appearance at a conference in 2017 to promote the Biden Cancer Initiative served as a pretext for a meeting with businessman Tony Bobulinski, who was to set up a joint venture with a Chinese firm.

Bobulinski later confirmed reports, based on materials on the laptop of Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, that he had met with the former Vice President, who wanted to be given 10% of the equity in the company, which was to have been called Sinohawk.

Biden lost his other son, Beau, to brain cancer in 2015 — a loss that, Biden says, motivates his interest in curing the disease.

The amount of corruption this guy is tied to is staggering. In the past even Democrats would have quailed at it. No longer. The entire party is as evil and corrupt as he is.

Russian misinformation. Already debunked. Conspiracy theory.

Of course, I - and 99% of the country - never heard this story till now. Where is the DOJ? The state authorities?

Biden should have sub-contracted out his foundation to the Clintons. They know how to make money off of charities.

Every new initiative is just another opportunity to steal from the treasury. Will the voters ever wise up?

"Russian misinformation. Already debunked. Conspiracy theory."

Yeah, that's how it works these days. Something like, "A statement, signed by 32 current and former intelligence officials, declared this to be Russian disinformation that has been circulating among right-wing media."

Are you saying Biden's Cancer Initiative funds were actually spent on cancer research, rather than hemorrhaged on salaries for staff compensation?

Why in the world does he speak so often about doing some good deed? If he had any snap, he’d get that the average American is becoming less and less interested in anything that doesn’t fix the econony, stop the violence or stop the flow of people across our border. The nicer he acts, the more despised he becomes. He still sees himself as some remarkable leader. If he only realized that he will be remembered as the most corrupt and despised man who ever held the office of president. Inscription on his grave, “Here lies Joe Biden (and lies and lies and lies).”

They know it the way a witch smeller knows the smell of witches. No need for facts, not even made-up facts. No need for evidence or investigation.

Unfortunately we apparently do need sarc flags given the number of fake conservatives around here.

He’s just blowing PR lies. All the things going wrong are his conscious desired and pursued goals. He another Pres that can accurately be called a traitor. He follows in the footsteps of Obama, Clinton(though more a grifter than an outright traitor), Bushes, FDR, Wilson... Prezes who worked knowingly to subordinate the US to foreign interests.

“ They know how to make money off of charities.”

They made staggering amounts of money off the Haiti earthquake alone

Even a fake conservative wouldn’t make a statement that over-the-top and blatant.
