In the final months of his lame duck 2nd Term, Barack Obama appointed Joe Biden the head of his “Moonshot” to cure cancer. Unable to cure cancer in a couple of months, Biden started his own foundation to cure cancer. So far the foundation has wasted millions of dollars on bloated salaries but committed no money towards cancer research. Joe’s as good at curing cancer as he is at knowing where he is or who he’s married to.
Remember how much of a fit the liberal media pitched, claiming various Trump charities had failed to deliver, only to quietly walk back the allegations because they weren’t true? Well, here’s a charity that really has failed to deliver, but it’s Joe Biden’s so the same liberal media is ignoring it.
The NY Post reports:
A cancer charity started by Joe Biden gave out no money to research, and spent most of its contributions on staff salaries, federal filings show.
The Biden Cancer Initiative was founded in 2017 by the former vice president and his wife, Jill Biden, to “develop and drive implementation of solutions to accelerate progress in cancer prevention, detection, diagnosis, research and care and to reduce disparities in cancer outcomes,” according to its IRS mission statement. But it gave out no grants in its first two years, and spent millions on the salaries of former Washington, DC, aides it hired.
The “charity” took in $4,809,619 in contributions in its first 2 years in existence. Also in those 2 years, the Biden Cancer Initiative spent $3,070,301 on the salaries of the directors and board members. They also dropped $956,196 on travel and conferences. Adding that up, they had $4,026,487 in expenditures, which still would have left them with $783,132 to kick cancer’s ass, but no:
But under grants distributed, it listed zero.
That’s right, the Biden Cancer Initiate spent zero dollars and zero cents on cancer research of any kind.
There is also proof that the cancer “charity” was just another Biden family money laundering scheme:
After only two years, the charity “paused” its operations when Joe Biden and his wife stepped down for his presidential run.
Although the organization is still officially active, according to the IRS, Simon said in a 2019 interview that without the Bidens at the helm, the charity lost its edge.
“We tried to power through but it became increasingly difficult to get the traction we needed to complete our mission,” said Biden Cancer Initiative President Gregory Simon.
Yeah, you really need Joe to squeeze out those dollars. Also, “complete our mission?” They never even started it.
Simon, by the way, made $654,443 for 2 years of doing nothing, especially not curing cancer.
Not only does this give a glimpse into Joe’s corruption it proves his ineptitude. He promised to cure cancer with Obama’s Moonshot and didn’t. He promised to cure cancer with the Biden Cancer Initiative and didn’t even give one dollar out of over $4 million to cancer research.
In June of 2019 Biden said if he was elected president that he’d cure cancer:
“I promise you, if I’m elected president, you’re going to see the single most important thing that changes America: We’re going to cure cancer,” Biden said.
Last March, Biden said if he was elected president that he’d cure all kinds of diseases including cancer:
“I promise you, cure for cancer. Alzheimer’s. Diabetes,” said Biden.
His track record suggest that these promises are just as bullshit as anything else that comes out of his mouth. Joe Biden couldn’t cure a ham, let alone cancer. He could however blow $4 million bucks on a ham but at least there’d be something to eat for dinner.
