Republican Illinois Rep. Mary Miller has called for former first lady Jill Biden to face criminal charges for elder abuse after her husband, former President Joe Biden, announced his cancer diagnosis following reports of significant mental deterioration throughout his term.
In an interview with The Post , geriatric medical specialist Elaine Healy said that the former president is showing “telltale signs of elder abuse.”
“A more sinister type of elder abuse, however, involves the exploitation of an elderly individual for the abuser’s financial, personal, or — in this case — political gain,” the doctor said.
“What was behind her insistence that he run for office when she, above all others, had to be aware of his failing cognitive capacities and declining physical health?” she said. “Is she a loving spouse or a master manipulator, using his dependency on her to control his decision-making? If the latter, she is engaged in elder abuse.”
Even Sally Quinn, a Washington Post columnist and outspoken critic of Trump, criticized Jill Biden.
“She clearly was in favor of his running, and I just think it was a terrible disservice to the country. She wasn’t protecting him… I thought it was elder abuse, really,” Quinn declared.
And Donald Trump Jr. also questioned the former first lady’s complicity in a “cover-up.”
“What I want to know is how did Dr. Jill Biden miss stage five metastatic cancer or is this yet another coverup???” he said sarcastically on Truth Social.
His cancer was a Gleason score of 9, which has puzzled many as to how it was missed for so long.
