The White House briefing got heated Monday as press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre clashed with reporters over questions about President Joe Biden's health and ability to lead the federal government. Questions have been swirling about Biden's age and neurological fitness after his terrible performance at the June 27 presidential debate against Donald Trump. When Jean-Pierre sought to quell those concerns Monday, telling reporters the president has only seen a neurologist three times while in office, in conjunction with his annual physicals, reporters pushed back. White House visitor logs show that Dr. Kevin Cannard, a neurologist who has conducted research into Parkinson's, went to the White House eight times between July 2023 and this past March. Jean-Pierre declined to confirm the name of the doctor or say why he was going to the White House, telling reporters this was due to security reasons and noted that the White House medical unit treats more people than just the president. #biden #health #whitehouse

  • She cannot share names? Of the doctors that met with him? Nonsense. She doesn’t want reporters to seek them out and do their own digging
  • @Angel12212
    Gaslighting people into believing he’s not demented
  • @kevo2831
    What an absolute joke of an administration.
  • @SJ-li6ho
    If biden has to see a neurological expert 8 times doenst that say something. Why not a diabetes specialist or arthritis specialist.
  • @kennethd4645
    Most people in an insane asylum could pass a "physical" smh
  • If I deliberately lied doing my job I would (and should) be fired.
  • I have a question,Why are prices still going up every week to month?
  • My father had Parkinson’s, if he’s on drugs for that it would explain a lot about his mind wondering. He shouldn’t be in charge of anything!

  • @IsItTrue1

  • @tvvuong3831
    Why do journalists want to ask this lady? Because she won't tell the truth.
  • My Mom was diagnosed with Parkinson’s and only had a slight hand tremor for about 8 years then 1 morning woke up out of her head and was attempting to make my deceased Fathers( 6 years)breakfast while carrying on a conversation with( her words ) a nosy lady with a clip board taking notes. From that day on until she passed about 3 years later she would go in and out of coherency 1-3 days rambling, laughing, cursing and talking to people deceased/ invisible people. Then it would go back to completely normal and had no clue of any changes.
  • she wants respect but not capable of telling the truth she is a coward .lies lies lies
