Lloyd Austin - Prostate Cancer

Biden allegedly learned THIS MORNING why Lloyd Austin had surgery, was hospitalized, and spent time in the ICU - prostate cancer.

Absolutely BRUTAL exchange for the Pentagon during the WH briefing re: the Lloyd Austin saga....

CBS's @NancyCordes: "So, the President has known for...five days...Secretary Austin was in the hospital but he wasn't informed why?"

John Kirby: "He was not informed until last… pic.twitter.com/35g5qoyNh9

John Kirby struggles to answer why the President was not informed Secretary Lloyd Austin underwent an elective procedure for prostate cancer.

Easy to see why because the President not being informed is indefensible. pic.twitter.com/HqtnQLbukz

"The president didn't learn about this for a month after the diagnosis in early December. Quite simply, does the president think that's acceptable!?"

"Why should we believe anything that this administration tells us about anything ever again?"

We're involved in two wars and Biden doesn't speak to his secretary of defense?

This is far more concerning than the need for the Pentagon to review process and procedure.
