KJP Melts Down, ‘HANGS UP’ On Radio Host For Asking If Biden ‘Has Dementia’
In a recent interview, KJP found herself at the center of a heated debate after a radio host dared to inquire about President Joe Biden’s mental acuity. “When I told a number of people that I was talking to you today, it was interesting… They all said, ‘Would you please just ask her: ‘Does the president have dementia?'” the host pressed.
“Mark, I can’t even believe you’re asking me this question. That is incredibly offensive,” Jean-Pierre shot back, visibly taken aback. “For the past several years, the President’s physician has laid out very, in a comprehensive way, the President’s health.”
But the interview took an unexpected turn when Jean-Pierre abruptly ended the call, leaving the hosts and listeners in disbelief. “Have an amazing, amazing day,” she said before hanging up.
Discussions about Joe Biden’s cognitive health have been ongoing, given his status as the oldest president in U.S. history. Despite periodic medical reports affirming his fitness for office, questions persist, especially after moments of apparent forgetfulness during public appearances.
In February, the White House released an update on Biden’s health, describing him as a “healthy, active, robust 81-year-old” who exercises regularly. Biden himself has reassured the public, stating, “Everything’s squared away… Everything’s great.”
Jean-Pierre has been firm in dismissing suggestions of a cognitive assessment, stating, “According to his physician and a consulting neurologist, Biden does not require a cognitive assessment.” She emphasized Biden’s daily cognitive performance, claiming he “passes a cognitive test every day” and navigates complex topics adeptly.
The incident has reignited debates over transparency and accountability in the Biden administration, with critics questioning the handling of inquiries about the president’s health. Jean-Pierre’s decision to end the interview abruptly has only fueled speculation and drawn further scrutiny to the issue.
As discussions continue to swirl, the public remains divided on whether such questions are legitimate concerns or politically motivated attacks. Amidst the controversy, one thing remains clear: the debate over Biden’s health shows no signs of abating anytime soon.
