Ashley Biden delivered a strong, profanity-filled defense of her father, former President Joe Biden, in an intense Instagram post. She criticized media detractors and tackled issues about her father’s health, legacy, and time as president.

The president’s 42-year-old daughter posted a beach photo of herself with her parents, Joe and Jill Biden, stating, ‘I am so grateful. Too grateful to be angry about all this nonsense.’

Her passionate reaction came shortly after CNN anchor Jake Tapper aired a segment raising questions about the transparency of Biden’s recent cancer diagnosis, indicating the administration may have ‘downplayed’ the seriousness of his condition during his presidency.

Tapper’s reporting coincided with the release of his new book, Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again, which claims to expose a White House effort to conceal Biden’s cognitive decline from the public.

Ashley didn’t mention Tapper by name, but her post left little doubt about its target.

‘The ONLY coverup of this family is a BEACH coverup !!!’ she wrote, mocking the idea of a media conspiracy and defending her father’s record. 

‘The truth is, Dad gave his ALL to America and continues til this day. He NEVER gave up on you. And he listened to all of you. And he acted. The man has led his life by ACTIONS not words.’

Joe Biden, now 82, left office on January 20, 2025, after losing the 2024 election to Donald Trump.

In May 2025, his office revealed that he had been diagnosed with aggressive, bone-metastatic prostate cancer. 

The cancer carried a Gleason score of 9—a high-grade classification indicating that the cells were highly abnormal and likely to grow and spread quickly. His treatment began with hormone therapy and is being closely monitored by specialists.

Despite the diagnosis, Biden appeared publicly on May 30 and said he was feeling strong, adding that his bones remained healthy and that he remained optimistic about his prognosis.

Ashley’s post directly addressed critics questioning whether her father had been fit to serve during his final year in office: ‘He aged, YES! As we all do! And the stress of the presidency accelerates. But he was always MORE than capable of doing the job. And a damn good one. 

‘He worked harder than anyone I have ever known- he took his duty and sacred obligation to this country very seriously. 

‘The noise is so DAMN disrespectful and untrue …AND, it’s just that- noise/static- created by those committed to perpetuating and profiting from some real BS. Get lost with your anonymous sources and fake news.’

She also thanked supporters for rallying around her family during what she called an ‘uphill’ time: ‘AND, i am super grateful for the love and support over the past few weeks. 

‘We, like any family, chose HOPE during times of great despair/uphill battles. And we continue – to chose hope.

‘That’s what Dad taught + gave us. And all your ♥️+ support continues to give him HOPE – for his own healing, for this country he so loves and for the world he united.’

The post, set to Elton John’s Your Song, ended with a pointed warning: ‘please note: if you are disrespectful in the comments- you will be deleted and blocked. I wish you peace #deuces.’

Ashley Biden has largely remained out of the political spotlight—but her outburst marks a rare, deeply personal response to renewed scrutiny of her father’s health.

While in office, Joe Biden championed major initiatives including the American Rescue Plan, a sweeping infrastructure package, climate legislation, the withdrawal from Afghanistan, and aid to Ukraine. 

But following a disastrous June 2024 debate performance, he withdrew from the 2024 race the following month, endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris. 

He served out his full term until January 2025.

Tapper’s book, released last week, has drawn backlash from critics who now accuse him of trying to rewrite his role in what they claim was a media-enabled cover-up.
