Former First Lady Jill Biden is facing growing calls to be held legally accountable for what some now allege could amount to elder abuse, following the shocking revelation of Joe Biden’s advanced cancer diagnosis.
U.S. Rep. Mary Miller (R-IL), a member of the House Freedom Caucus, didn’t mince words this week, saying Jill Biden should face criminal charges. “Jill Biden was complicit in covering up Joe Biden’s mental and physical decline,” Miller posted on X. “She should face CRIMINAL CHARGES for elder abuse!!”
Her comments come as details about Biden’s condition continue to alarm both medical experts and political observers. According to his office, the former president is battling an aggressive form of prostate cancer with a Gleason Score of nine — one of the highest and most concerning scores used to measure prostate cancer severity.
What’s raising eyebrows is the question of how such a serious case went undetected for so long. Dr. David Shusterman, a board-certified urologist, speculated that Biden may have had the disease for years. “It’s the kind of diagnosis you’d expect from someone who hasn’t had medical attention in a decade,” said Shusterman, who teaches future doctors. “If this was caught late, it’s either malpractice or a cover-up.”
That’s where Jill Biden comes in. Critics are now asking whether the woman who styled herself as a caregiver and loyal spouse instead functioned as a political gatekeeper, shielding her husband from scrutiny and pushing him to remain in office despite his obvious decline.
Dr. Elaine Healy, a geriatric specialist, argued in the New York Post that Biden’s visible physical and mental deterioration, combined with the late-stage cancer discovery, raises red flags about potential elder abuse. She even listed Jill Biden, White House physician Dr. Kevin O’Connor, and former Biden Chief of Staff Jeffrey Zients as figures who should be scrutinized.
“He’s showing telltale signs of elder abuse,” Healy wrote. “Was Jill Biden a loving spouse or a master manipulator?”
Even longtime liberal columnist Sally Quinn weighed in, telling podcast host Tara Palmeri that Jill Biden “wasn’t protecting him” and her insistence that he run amounted to “a terrible disservice to the country.”
“She clearly knew how bad he was,” Quinn said. “I thought it was elder abuse, really.”
For many Americans who watched Joe Biden stumble through speeches, debates, and press events — often propped up by handlers or Jill herself — the truth seems to have been in plain sight all along. The only question now is whether anyone will be held accountable for what’s shaping up to be one of the most grotesque political cover-ups in modern American history.
