White House says a medical specialist didn't visit Biden at his Delaware residence
The name of a specialist in Parkinson's disease has dominated headlines in recent days after it was revealed that he had visited President Joe Biden's doctor at the White House no less than eight times, Real Clear Politics reported.
The visits are significant, more so than ever, given Biden's disastrous debate performance with former President Donald Trump.
Biden's stumbling performance sparked widespread calls from within the Democratic Party for him to step aside and let someone younger and sharper take on Trump in November, as Democratic voters finally realized that they had been gaslit regarding Biden's condition for years.
Now that the curtains have been pulled back, many, including Biden's allies in the media, are wondering what condition or disease, exactly, the elderly, confused president is afflicted with.
What's going on?
The situation became intense for the White House after press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was bombarded with questions earlier this week about Dr. Kevin Cannard's visits to the White House.
KJP refused to discuss specifics about his visits, which undoubtedly raised additional questions as to why he had been visiting with Dr. Kevin O’Connor, the president's physician, so often.
She did reveal that the president had undergone a neurological exam as part of his annual physicals.
RCP noted:
Late Monday evening, the White House finally offered an explanation in the form of a letter penned by Dr. Kevin O’Connor, the president’s physician. He confirmed that Cannard visited campus and wrote that the Parkinson’s specialist “was the neurological specialist that examined President Biden for each of his annual physicals.”
Biden's White House doctor added, "Prior to the pandemic, and following its end, [Cannard] has held regular Neurology clinics at the White House Medical Clinic in support of the thousands of active-duty members assigned in support of White House operations."
RCP pointed out that the story only became one thanks to the White House visitor logs, which are kept public. However, no such logs exist for the president's Delaware home, where he spends quite a bit of time.
Nothing in Delaware
The White House addressed questions regarding possible visits by the specialist to Biden's Delaware home.
RCP noted:
But the White House did say flatly that the president has not received medical care in Wilmington, far from the prying eyes of the press or the public. “He has not seen specialists in Delaware,” White House Deputy Press Secretary Andrew Bates told RealClearPolitics, adding only that “like past Presidents, he travels with a White House Medical Unit doctor.”
Of course, there's no way of confirming such claims, given that Biden's Delaware residence is described as a "black hole" of activity since logs are not kept there.
The bottom line is that Biden has something going on. It's painful to watch, and scary to know that he's in charge of America's nuclear arsenal.
