Medical professionals and lawmakers are renewing calls for President Joe Biden to undergo a mental competency test following a damning report by special counsel Robert Hur, revealing concerns about Biden's memory and cognitive abilities.
The report, released on Thursday, February 8, highlighted Biden's inability to recall basic facts about his life and career during interviews. Concerns were raised about Biden's memory lapses, including his inability to remember when he served as vice president and the timing of his son's death.
Dr. Stuart Fischer, a primary care physician, emphasized the need for transparency regarding Biden's health, stating that the public deserves an explanation for any observed cognitive decline. Despite being the oldest president in U.S. history, Biden has repeatedly refused to undergo mental acuity tests, despite widespread concerns among Americans.
While the White House has defended Biden's fitness for office, citing his daily engagements and interactions with world leaders, critics argue that objective cognitive assessments are necessary to reassure the public.
Rep. Ronny Jackson, a former White House physician, called for Biden to undergo comprehensive cognitive testing before the general election, citing concerns about his ability to fulfill his duties as commander-in-chief. Jackson highlighted Biden's physical and verbal symptoms, including slurred speech and confusion, as signs of cognitive decline.
The report by special counsel Robert Hur further raised concerns about Biden's ability to handle classified materials, with Hur noting instances of Biden's wrongful retention and disclosure of classified documents. Despite these findings, Hur recommended against charging Biden, citing his age and potential sympathy factor in court.
Renowned neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson echoed concerns about Biden's mental decline, citing evidence from recent events and Biden's demeanor. Carson emphasized the need for transparency and accountability in leadership, particularly given the challenges facing the nation.
As calls for a mental competency test grow louder, the debate over Biden's fitness for office continues to intensify, raising questions about who is truly leading the country amidst ongoing global challenges.
