Anyone hoping that an interview with President Biden by ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos would allay the fears of many Democrats that the president is mentally unfit to serve another four years is in for a disappointment.
When asked repeatedly and in different ways if he would take an independent neurological exam, Biden refused, saying that he was healthy and did not need a test because he was tested “every day” and that his tests “run the world.” The world is in bad shape, with wars and rumors of wars. Does he take the blame? Apparently not.
Things got so bad, the Biden campaign was forced to admit to giving eight questions to radio host Andrea Lawful-Sanders of “The Source” on WURD before interviewing the president.
In the interview, Biden accidentally stated that she was “the first black woman to serve in the White House.” In 1988, Nobel Prize-winning writer Toni Morrison wrote in The New Yorker that Bill Clinton was America’s “first black president” because of the life experiences he shared with many black people. That said about Clinton. They do not claim a different racial or gender background.
If Biden’s mental health is good and claims to the contrary are not true, the fastest way to resolve the issue is to take a test. That’s not how it shows that the president is covering up something serious. The New York Post reported that, according to the visitor log of the White House, Washington, DC, a Parkinson’s disease specialist met with the president’s personal physician earlier this year. What is that about? Silence from those who know.
It gets worse. Politico reports diplomats and world leaders preparing for this week’s NATO summit “are expressing concern about President Joe Biden’s age, health and ability to win the 2024 presidential election. These foreign officials generally favor Biden’s re-election and fear that Donald Trump’s return to office will undermine NATO alliance and undermining the war effort in Ukraine. But they reacted to Biden’s recent debate performance with dismay and fear that Biden may be too fragile to defeat Trump and lead a global superpower.
That pretty much sums up the concerns about the growing number of Democrats. How long will it be before we see a replay of the Republican Senate delegation that went to the White House in 1974 and told Richard Nixon that he had lost the support of Congress and would be impeached and removed from office?
There are many nonsensical examples of Biden not being able to speak coherently. Consider this one quote from Stephanopoulos’ interview in response to the debate performance: “Every way I prepare, there’s nothing wrong. There’s nothing wrong, but I…I, uh, prepare for what I usually do, sit like I do, come back with a foreign leader or National Security Council for the clear details. And I realized about partway through, you know, I was quoted by The New York Times had me down 10 points before the debate, 9 now or whatever the hell it is. The fact is that he also lied 28 times .I can’t, I mean, the way the debate goes, no – my fault, no one else – no one else.
Even Google translate can’t figure it out. And it’s not just the mental state, but his policy, the chief of which is the open border, which according to the new Center for Immigration Studies poll, is the highest issue for most voters in this election.
For the sake of his family, himself and especially the country, President Biden should undergo a direct cognitive test conducted by an independent physician with the full results released to the public. Anything less – or nothing at all – is unacceptable and puts the country at risk by a president who seems incapable of doing his job fully.
