VIDEO: Single Question Stuns Biden White House
The White House doesn’t even know what to do anymore.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre firmly denied allegations that President Biden suffers from Alzheimer’s or any form of dementia during a recent press briefing, responding directly to questions raised after last week’s debate.
In the press briefing on Tuesday, Jean-Pierre faced inquiries about Biden’s health following his debate performance, which had prompted concerns among Democrats and various media outlets. During the debate, Biden was criticized for occasional stumbling over words, lapses in thought, and appearing subdued compared to his opponent, former President Trump.
The issue of Biden’s mental acuity has been a recurring topic, intensified by recent claims and videos suggesting cognitive decline. Jean-Pierre addressed these concerns by reaffirming that Biden does not have Alzheimer’s or any similar condition, bluntly dismissing the speculation.
Furthermore, she defended the administration’s use of the term “cheap fakes” to describe videos and claims about Biden’s cognitive lapses, asserting that these were distortions aimed at misrepresenting the president. She emphasized that their stance echoed findings from independent fact-checkers and media reports which highlighted misinformation targeting Biden.
Questions during the briefing also touched upon whether the White House was withholding information about Biden’s health or conducting any additional medical evaluations post-debate. Jean-Pierre maintained that Biden had acknowledged his performance was subpar but assured transparency regarding his health, citing comprehensive medical reports released during his annual check-ups.
The briefing coincided with calls from some quarters, including Democratic Representative Lloyd Doggett, for Biden to reconsider his presidential candidacy in light of electoral challenges and critiques of his debate performance. Such calls have been mirrored in opinion pieces from major newspapers urging Biden to step aside.
In summary, Jean-Pierre’s briefing aimed to quell doubts about Biden’s health while defending the administration’s handling of media portrayals concerning his mental state. The ongoing scrutiny underscores broader concerns within the Democratic Party and among Biden’s supporters as the election season progresses.

Doesn’t anyone in Washington, D.C. have an honest bone in their body. These people should never get another job in any field after they’re fired unless it’s Msnbc, ABC, NBC, ABC, CNN. I guess nobody washed their mouths out with soap for lying or told them liars go to hell.
