Right-wing commentator Charlie Kirk has posted a rumor that President Joe Biden had a medical emergency in Las Vegas last week and may be in hospice care. This claim contradicted the official account of the president's COVID-19 diagnosis, and has sparked widespread speculation, but what are the facts?
Kirk, who has a history of promoting questionable theories, shared the rumor Monday on X, formerly Twitter. He wrote: "Got a weird lead on a story that people should look into. I got a call from a source close to Las Vegas Metro. The official story was that Joe Biden's trip was cut short last week due to COVID.
"However, according to this source, US Secret Service informed LV Metro that there was an emergency situation involving Joe Biden and to close necessary streets so that POTUS could be transported immediately to University Medical.
"Then, mysteriously, there was a stand down order and the USSS informed local Vegas PD that they were going to 'medevac' POTUS to Johns Hopkins. Apparently the rumor mill in the police department was that Joe Biden was dying or possibly already dead."
The post had been viewed 21.5 million times by Tuesday.
Kirk has previously promoted questionable theories related to right-wing talking points including expressing skepticism about Black pilots' ability to fly planes due to diversity hiring practices, and in a now deleted 2018 post on X, dramatically overstating the number of human trafficking arrests made under the Trump administration versus the Obama administration, citing bogus "Department of Justice" data originating from QAnon message board 8Chan.
A Twitter account named Global Press Corp also promoted the hospice theory, claiming, "A verified [anonymous] source has informed the Global Press team that Joe Biden is currently in hospice care and is unlikely to survive the night."

Anyone recall BO’s grandma died the night before the election? And didn’t he stay in Hawaii with her on election day?
(read that it was actually 2 wks before but was held back to garner the sympathy vote)
That would take an airspeed of 685 mph. Doable in a 747 but riding on the edge of Mach buffeting. Impressive if true.
They would certainly bring hospice to him. My grandmother had a hospice nurse coming by daily and was also on call in we needed something.
I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that “Right-wing commentator Charlie Kirk has posted a rumor” about Biden’s dementia on several occasions during the last 3 or 4 years. If so, he was right. Has Newsweek reported on Biden’s dementia yet? If so, when did they first report?
Laura Loomer posted it first, and she always gets initially called a liar, and then someone gets credited with the scoop.
At this point we do not have a President. Biden is incognito someplace and all we have for proof of life is a disembodied and easily faked speaker phone voice and a letter signed in a shaking hand and barely recognizable signature. The videos of him being loaded into the limo appear to show him physically incapacitated. The Air Force One flight at wing ripping speeds certainly shows desperate urgency. Something is amiss with Biden and it is far more than COVID sniffles. The promised address to the nation later this week I think won’t happen.
Are “They” bringing back the Oval Office stage again?
Well, he is supposedly on his way to the DC mansion. He is also scheduled for a Presidential address tomorrow at 8pm. Soooo………….
He is supposedly in Delaware, due to arrive at the White House at 2:30PMP ET today.
Interesting........and apparently Air Force One cut one hour off the flying time from Vegas to Delaware.(From 4+to 3+)
So far as you are concerned, Hillary, none.
Sorry, didn’t read your comment before posting mine...
He's not dying, he's pissed off.
But very soon he'll have to come forward and tell 'THEIR TRUTH' or all the bad things will happen to him and none of the goodies...
He'll talk the puppet speak and soon.
This was reported first by Laura Loomer, and half FR made the usual nasty jokes. Now Charlie Kirk is repeating what Laura reported happened in Las Vegas and asking the same questions. It’s a good idea to wait for real confirmation before attacking the source.
(whispering)
“Dude, how much did you give him? He was only supposed to be ill for a few days, like covid.”
Charlie Kirk's criticism of DEI is probably not a lie (DEI is a lie, a corporate lie.
“It’s a good idea to wait for real confirmation”
Before uncorking the good stuff...
If Biden really is dead or close to it, could that fake story about President Carter’s death from this morning be some kind of trial balloon? Maybe I’m overthinking this.
I finally found a source for the story.
From WorldNetDaily: Air Force One rushed Biden back to Delaware so fast, the airplane 'shook'.
Excerpt:
"Emily Goodin, the senior white house correspondent for The Daily Mail, reported that on the journey back east, Air Force One 'flew so fast the plane shook,' arriving in Dover in just 3 hours and 48 minutes."-PJ
