Australian author and feminist Clementine Ford has publicly expressed her wish for Joe Biden to suffer a 'very painful demise.'

In the third installment of her Substack series Dear Clementine, Ford responded to news of the former US President's shock cancer diagnosis.

On Monday, it was announced that the 82-year-old had been diagnosed with an 'aggressive form' of prostate cancer.

Ford reacted to the sad news with apparent satisfaction while acknowledging her own personal connection to the disease.

'Honestly, it couldn't have happened to a more deserving person,' she wrote.
