Biden repeatedly dodges questions about whether he'd take neurological test: 'No one said I had to'
The president's mental acuity was called into question after the first presidential debate

President Biden three times dodged questions about whether he'd take a neurological test in one of the more contentious moments of his first sit-down interview since a widely panned presidential debate performance last week.

"Have you had a full neurological and cognitive evaluation?" ABC News' George Stephanopoulos asked Biden in an interview conducted Friday afternoon and aired in the evening.

"I get a full neurological test every day with me," Biden replied. "I've had a full physical. … I've been to Walter Reed for my physicals."

Stephanopoulos again pressed the president about taking a neurological test, and Biden again ducked.

"Have you had the specific cognitive tests, and have you had a neurologist, a specialist, do an examination?" Stephanopoulos asked.

"No, no one said I had to. … They said I'm good," Biden responded.

Who's going to order him to take such a test? I don't believe such a person exists.

... Dr. Kevin Cannard, a Parkinson’s disease expert at Walter Reed Medical Center, met with Dr. Kevin O’Connor, and two others at the White House residence clinic on Jan. 17, according to the records, which emerge as questions continue to swirl about the 81-year-old president’s mental health in the wake of his debate debacle last week with former President Trump.

Dr. John E. Atwood, a cardiologist at Walter Reed, was also in the 5 P.M. meeting, the White House visitor logs show. ...

If the Democrats had a capable and somewhat competent vice president that could follow Biden, they would’ve eagerly joined Republicans in using the 25th amendment to get rid of him over a year ago


They did this to themselves. Their addiction to identity politics is finally coming back to haunt them.
I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

No, no one said I had to . 

In other words, Biden only does what his handlers tell him to do.

His actual quote meaning was "Jill said I didn't have to."
