Dr. Jill Biden just did something her predecessor, Melania Trump, never did and likely never would have done, or even considered, when she was first lady: She went behind enemy lines for an interview.
Dr. FLOTUS sat down with Newsmax last night for 20 minutes, during which she discussed everything from the media’s scrutiny of her family to the Biden administration’s cancer moonshot initiative, which coincides with Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Dr. Biden spoke to Nancy Brinker, a longtime friend of the first couple and founder of the breast cancer organization Susan G. Komen for the Cure, who inquired how she deals with “the intensity of all the media” (read: all the ring wing propaganda outlets, including Newsmax, accusing her of elder abuse and her husband of having dementia.)
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
“Because every other day, you’re probably with a new set of issues and everything, and has that been interesting?” Brinker asked.
“I wouldn’t call it interesting,” Dr. Biden joked. “I don’t know. I guess, you learn to sort of take it in your stride. You have to, you can’t be affected by the negativity, and a lot of it. People just need to get rid of a lot of their anger.”
She went on to emphasize how she believes most Americans still share the same common values, and encouraged people of all walks of life to look for ways to come together despite their ideological disagreements.

“Come together,” she urged. “It’s all about kindness. Even if someone doesn’t agree with you, if you can just talk to them civilly and hear their point of view, maybe you will never agree, but just acts of kindness toward your fellow Americans.”
The Bidens first launched the cancer moonshot initiative during President Biden’s time as vice president, shortly after their son, Beau Biden, passed away from brain cancer. The initiative aims to decrease the death rate from cancer by 50% over the next 25 years by directing federal resources to speed up research and bolster prevention efforts.
“Cancer is such a terrible disease, but it is unifying people,” Dr. Biden told Newsmax. “They’re all coming together to say, yes, let’s work with one another. And let’s reduce the incidence of cancer as we know it and change the face of cancer.”
Per the American Cancer Society:
The most common types of cancer among men in the US are skin, prostate, lung, and colorectal cancer. Some younger men might be at risk of testicular cancer and Hodgkin Lymphoma. Some gay men, especially those who are HIV positive, might have a higher risk of anal cancer. Knowing about these cancers and what you can do to help prevent them or find them early (when the cancer is small and might be easier to treat) may help save your life.
Not surprisingly, Dr. Biden’s appearance on Newsmax has sent bots viewers into a spiral. Here’s what they’ve been saying…
I get fighting cancer but really Newsmax, this is who you want to side with. Just when I thought you guys were going to be an alternative to Fox. Really disappointing.

Not that Mangy Mel needs any help with those two attributes. This woman is out to lunch.

Sorry Jill, the time for being civil with anyone on the Right has long, long since past. There’s no pont.

Melania didn’t “look like” the laziest & most disinterested first lady: she was the laziest and most disinterested. Though she has shown some initiative with her little minor grifts since leaving the white house. I guess they need a second income, what with all those legal fees and loans coming due.

No article on Jill Biden’s appearance at the Philadelphia Eagles game last Sunday?
Her own hometown boo’ing her.

Your orange turd god has been booed at his own rallies!

Translation: The same old right wing troll trying to deflect from Melania. But of course it does, Melania lied about graduating college, Melania lied about speaking 5 languages, Melania lied about writing her own speeches as she was stealing from Michelle Obama, etc…

C’mon, you’re talking about Eagles fans. If she didn’t get pelted with batteries or snowballs or get drenched in beer, she did well with them. Just ask Santa.

Jill’s efforts to end cancer, champion education and support military and veteran families are great and everything, but one almost gets the impression that Queerty is dismissive of our country’s pressing need for quality Christmas ornaments!

And being best….because she married the best.
Kangol2
@abfab, she married the beast and anything but the best!

Kudos to Dr. Jill!
abfab
I love her.

Melania was the laziest, most disinterested first lady ever. She doesn’t need Jill to show that.
Mr. Stadnick
Melania trump is by most accounts a trashy social climber whereas Jill Biden has a PhD.
gayconservative
Funny how Republican First Ladies are trashed while Democrat First Ladies are praised.
My2CentsWorth
Well, Gayconservative, maybe the Republican First Ladies get trashed because they marry such horrible men.
abfab
I thought Barbara Bush was fabulous. Happy now?
MDWolf12
Barbara Bush was great, strong independant thinker who stood up for womens rights and was okay having a differing opinion from her hustband and party. Melania is the only First lady being trashed in this discussion and article because she was just not suited for the role and didn’t want it in the first place.
