Former President Joe Biden yelled at the audience during a Friday speech at the International LGBTQ+ Leaders Conference, telling attendees to “fight” for the Constitution.
Biden, who was stricken with prostate cancer, was at the conference to receive an award from the LGBTQ+ Victory Institute. The former president recounted during his speech how his father told him as a child to “get up” when people mocked him.

“When I was growing up, whenever something bad happened, I used to be a stutter, and people made a lot of fun of you, and a lot of other things,” Biden said. “My dad would look at me and say, ‘Joey, just get up. Get up, Joey! Get up!’ Well, folks, that’s my message to all of us today. To all who love our country. To all!”
“All of us who are dismayed by the present state of the union. This is no time to give up. It’s time to get up! Get up and fight back! Get up!” he screamed. “Continue to fight! And what’s the fight all about!? … It’s about protecting the Constitution! It’s about protecting the Constitution!”
Biden’s personal office announced the former president’s prostate cancer diagnosis on May 18, asserting he was diagnosed on May 16. Biden also subsequently underwent surgery to remove cancerous cells from his forehead.
The Biden administration doled out $2.5 million to researchers running an experimental initiative that pulled children out of class for training on becoming LGBTQ activists. Under the National Institute for Health (NIH)-funded program, a dozen schools were tasked with recruiting students to participate in a paid 10-week long “intervention” to assist LGBTQ-identifying youth “cope with the effects of minority stress,” according to the grant description.
Biden has repeatedly told a story about seeing two men kiss when he was in high school. He said his father explained it to him by saying, “Joey, it’s simple. They love each other.”
However, The Washington Post has cast doubt on the story.
