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.”

I have doubts that the results would ever be reported accurately in any case.

Yup!

Nobody but his own party leadership  are in a position to demand he steps down.

Well,technically the SC can step in,but they normally seem to try to stay  away from stuff like that and let the professional politicians clean up their own messes.

At this point in time, what difference does it truly make other than forcing Harris to be seated; and they'll likely continue to keep her VP a surprise until the last minute, making it difficult for Trump to do any campaigning.  Oh wait ... he's  depleting funds and being tied up in court making it difficult to find time to campaign -- of course some of us predicted this happening long ago.

Rep Ronny Jackson...[former WH Doctor] said the other day that the current WH Doctor is a very close friend of the Bidens so don't expect any kind of cognitive testing and even if he does don't believe his findings..
