Exclusive — Rep. Hunt Demands WH Doctor Justify Biden’s Exemption from Cognitive Exam: Americans Have ‘Right to Know’Joshua Klein 15 Feb 2024
Texas Republican Congressman Wesley Hunt is demanding President Joe Biden’s physician provide a plausible reason as to why Biden will not be taking a cognitive test as part of his upcoming overall comprehensive medical exam, “given recent events highlighting the president’s significant decline in memory,” arguing that “the American people have a right to know if the commander-in-chief is mentally compromised.”
On Monday, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre cited Dr. Kevin O’Connor, the White House doctor who has served as Biden’s longtime physician, who insists that a cognitive test for the president is unnecessary, proposing that the president “proves his cognitive ability ‘every day [in] how he operates and how he thinks.'”
According to a letter from Hunt addressed to O’Connor and previewed exclusively in advance by Breitbart News, which is to be sent on Thursday, the Republican congressman seeks to clarify the rationale behind not including a cognitive screening test in Biden’s medical examination despite precedents and reports of memory lapses.
In the letter, he raises “serious concerns” about the decision “to forgo a cognitive evaluation for President Biden as a part of his overall comprehensive medical exam,” stating that the choice is “particularly concerning given recent events highlighting the president’s significant decline in memory.”
