Twitch streamer Denims caught major criticism this week after publicly stating she supports cancer in its battle against President Joe Biden. During a recent livestream, shortly after news broke about Biden’s cancer diagnosis, Denims made the clear statement: “Nobody’s making fun of cancer, we’re on cancer’s side here.”
The comment wasn’t delivered as a joke or with any hint of sarcasm. Multiple viewers noted her “dead serious” delivery, which quickly led to the clip making the rounds in streaming communities. The statement stands out for its extremity even in today’s polarized political landscape.
Denims has built her streaming presence around left-leaning political commentary and provocative takes. She regularly engages with other political streamers and has been involved in numerous online controversies. This latest situation follows her established pattern of making inflammatory remarks that get attention.
The White House recently announced President Biden’s cancer diagnosis, though specific details about the type and prognosis weren’t immediately available. Public figures across the political spectrum typically express at least basic sympathy when political opponents face serious health issues.
Some viewers pointed out that even former President Trump offered more sympathetic comments regarding Biden’s diagnosis. One commenter noted the stark contrast, saying: “Imagine having a worse take on Biden’s cancer than Trump did.”

Other political streamers have reacted differently to the news. Hasan Piker reportedly stated that while Biden’s diagnosis doesn’t change his political opinions, there’s a difference between keeping up your criticism of someone and actually cheering for their illness.
