White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre faced tough questions from reporters on Wednesday as she tried to downplay concerns about President Joe Biden’s cognitive ability.
Just hours after the president returned from his annual physical, Jean-Pierre was forced to defend the decision not to include a cognitive test in the checkup.
When asked about the omission, Jean-Pierre hastily claimed that Biden “passes a cognitive test every day” due to the rigorous demands of being president.
It’s worth noting that former President Donald Trump voluntarily took a cognitive test to prove his sharpness, a move that helped dispel any doubts about his ability to lead. But instead of following in Trump’s footsteps, Biden and his team have chosen to keep the details of his health under wraps.

The White House press secretary also failed to explain why Biden’s physician, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, would not be made available to the press, as has been the norm for previous presidential physicians.

The lack of transparency surrounding Biden’s health is cause for concern.
In the meantime, as Biden continues to stumble through speeches and make confusing statements, it’s becoming increasingly clear that the man occupying the Oval Office may not be up to the job.
What’s even better, is Joe Biden doesn’t seem concerned with the many problems facing our country as he is yet again, taking another vacation.
Karine Jean-Pierre claims Biden will be working during his upcoming weekend vacation at Camp David — but can’t provide details.

REPORTER: What do you say to people who think Biden’s sudden border visit is just an election year stunt after he ignored it for three straight years?
