WASHINGTON, DC: While much of the world came out in Joe Biden’s support after his cancer diagnosis, controversial journalist Taylor Lorenz spent a whole day openly celebrating the shocking announcement.

The former Washington Post and New York Times reporter shared a series of vile posts lashing out at the former president on Monday, May 19, just a day after it was revealed that he was battling an aggressive form of prostate cancer.



 

Biden’s shocking diagnosis came just a few days after it was reported that the former commander-in-chief has urinary symptoms, which led doctors to find a “small nodule” on his prostate earlier this month, according to his staff.

Taylor Lorenz says Joe Biden should ‘rot in hell’

The controversial reporter, who has been a staunch critic of Joe Biden, didn’t mince her words while blasting the former president and celebrating his prostate cancer diagnosis.

“Hopefully he rots in hell and rests in p**s,” wrote Taylor Lorenz in a post that also included a facetious 2019 Vice article bearing the headline: “Joe Biden: It Would Be an Insult to My Dead Son for Everyone to Have Healthcare.”

Originally published during the 2020 Democratic primary, the piece was a mocking indictment of the former Commander-in-Chief's health care policies, according to Mediaite.

It misinterpreted his comments about maintaining private insurance, which were hotly contested at the time, but never included the quote that was cited in the headline.



 

A community note on Lorenz’s post also clarified that “Biden never said the phrase used in the headline. The post is based on a satirical misrepresentation.”

Lorenz’s attacks didn’t end here as she also blasted liberals, saying, they “really are going to d**k ride Biden until he’s in his grave, it’s shocking.”

She also retweeted another anti-Biden post, which read, “COVID causes cancer and Biden spent half his term pretending that he had defeated COVID while allowing it to rip through the population. People are dying today, and will continue dying for years, because of his corruption.”

Taylor Lorenz calls Joe Biden ‘a war criminal’

Taylor Lorenz, who was axed by the Washington Post after misleading her editors about a separate incident involving Joe Biden, doubled down on her attack on the former president when contacted by The NY Post.

“Joe Biden is a war criminal who personally sanctioned the genocide of tens of thousands of innocent Palestinians, including countless cancer patients,” Lorenz lashed out when asked about her lack of compassion for Joe Biden.

She further ranted that “Biden is responsible for at least nearly 1 million deaths from COVID and kicked millions, including cancer patients, off healthcare amidst a raging pandemic. He forced people back to work with no labor protections.”

“My sympathies will always lie with the innocent people Biden has killed and disabled, not the genocidal warmonger sanctioning their deaths,” she added.

Internet blasts Taylor Lorenz for celebrating Joe Biden’s cancer

Taylor Lorenz was met with brutal backlash for celebrating Joe Biden’s cancer, with many internet users branding her a 'sick and twisted person'.

“Hard to think of a purer example of 'the Left eating their own' than Taylor Lorenz using Biden's cancer diagnosis as an opportunity to distribute disinformation while spewing imprecations upon the man,” one user said.



 

“How the hell do you call out crazy conservatives and then proceed to keep posting fake stories?” another user trolled the journalist, while a second user attacked her, saying, “If karma is real, you’re coming back as a toilet seat.”



 



 

“I used to respect Taylor Lorenz for her gumption and interesting articles but her statements about Joe Biden are particularly gross and shameful. Idk what happened to her,” a fourth user tweeted.



 

“American selfishness continues to astound me tbh,” a fifth user wrote.

“You need a mental health check, something’s not right with you,” one more added.



 



 

“This is vile and disgusting. What a truly awful person you are. Life on earth is worse for you existing on it,” another one slammed Lorenz.
