From Jan. 8, 2018 (Bandy's made a career of this)
In a bid to have President Donald Trump removed from office, the left is pushing the “diagnosis” of a Yale psychiatrist who has ruled him “unfit” to be president. However, Dr. Bandy X Lee’s own dirty little secret has just been exposed — and it’s bad news for her career. Yale Psychiatrist who 'Diagnosed' Trump Unfit Has Dirty Secret That's Just Been Exposed
After giving her professional psychiatric diagnosis of President Donald Trump, rendering him mentally unfit for office, Yale psychiatrist Dr. Bandy X Lee’s prestigious career is in hot water.
In December 2017, more than a dozen lawmakers secretly met with leading Yale psychiatrist Dr. Bandy X Lee to discuss their concern for the president’s mental health, which they suspect is unstable and rapidly declining. Of course, this was merely another one of their countless plots to get Donald Trump removed from the White House since their frivolous impeachment campaigns have miserably failed.
Fortunately for the desperate liberal politicians, they found a comrade in Dr. Lee, who has not only repeatedly diagnosed Trump in television and newspaper interviews but also published a New York Times bestseller titled The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump: 27 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Assess the President. However, Dr. Lee’s 15 minutes of fame are quickly backfiring now that the truth about her “diagnosis” has come out.
After openly diagnosing Trump in multiple interviews, Dr. Lee has been accused of violating “the Goldwater Rule,” in which the American Psychiatric Association (APA) declared it “unethical for a psychiatrist to offer a professional opinion” on a public figure for whom they have neither given a face-to-face examination nor received legal consent to disclose said patient’s medical information, according to the Los Angeles Times.
In what is widely known as “the Goldwater Rule,” the APA declared it “unethical for a psychiatrist to offer a professional opinion” on a public figure “unless he or she has conducted an examination and has been granted proper authorization for such a statement.”
“The Goldwater Rule” was established during the Cold War after 1,189 psychiatrists declared Republican Senator and presidential candidate Barry Goldwater “psychologically unfit” to be president in a successful bid to ruin his campaign. Goldwater won his lawsuit against Fact Magazine for organizing and publishing the poll of psychiatrists. Just as Dr. Lee is leading a nearly identical movement against Trump and published a book claiming that “hundreds of mental health experts” agree with her, she could also very easily be sued for violating the same ethical rule.
Disturbingly, Dr. Lee is citing her alleged “duty to warn” the people in a pathetic effort to dispel condemnation for her ethics violation. However, the Yale doctor is playing with fire, considering that the man she’s unethically and unprofessionally diagnosing is not only the most powerful leader in the world but a savvy businessman with a lifetime of experience in the courtroom.
However, the coup-de-grâce to Dr. Lee’s credibility was delivered when she told Newsweek in a disturbingly mentally deranged rant that she believes Trump is going to wipe out all of humanity.
If it were possible, Dr. Bandy Lee said, “we would be declaring a public health emergency that needs to be responded to as quickly as possible. As more time passes, we come closer to the greatest risk of danger, one that could even mean the extinction of the human species,” she said. “This is not hyperbole. This is the reality.”
Expectedly, when asked to give examples that supported her unofficial diagnosis of Trump’s mental health, Dr. Lee regurgitated unfounded liberal rhetoric and propaganda.
What Lee would say is that a history of violence — like Trump’s “verbal aggressiveness, history of boasting about sexual assault, history of inciting violence at his rallies, and history of endorsing violence in his key public speeches” — is the best predictor of future violence. “He has also shown an attraction to violence and powerful weapons,” she said, including nuclear weapons. “He has also repeatedly taunted a hostile nation.”
Additionally, Dr. Jeffrey Lieberman, former president of the APA, not only denounced Dr. Lee’s book as a compilation of “tawdry, indulgent, fatuous tabloid psychiatry” but obliterated her claim of having a “duty to warn,” adding that medical professionals have repeatedly been used throughout history for corrupt political agendas.
In a letter to the editors of the New England Journal of Medicine, Lieberman says he believes Lee, [Dr. Claire] Pouncey, and the rest are “acting in good faith and are convinced they are fulfilling a moral obligation.” But the history of psychiatry is littered with examples of mental health professionals being “exploited” for political purposes, he wrote, citing doctors who gave cover to Nazi eugenics policies and those who helped confine dissidents to mental hospitals in the People’s Republic of China.
“Although moral and civic imperatives justify citizens’ speaking out against injustices of government and its leaders, that does not mean that psychiatrists can use their medical credentials to brand elected officials with neuropsychiatric diagnoses without sufficient evidence and appropriate circumstances,” he wrote. “To do so undermines the profession’s integrity and credibility.”
Disturbingly, Dr. Lee’s flagrant overreach doesn’t end there. In April 2017, she exposed her own political bias during an interview with New York Magazine, charging that Trump supporters have been essentially brainwashed by the mentally unfit president.
“He is giving his fans a false sense of empowerment: ‘Make America great again, reject outsiders who will take your jobs.’ But instead of elevating their status with real solutions, he is exploiting their psychology.”
Dr. Lee is not only inching toward losing her credibility and career, she’s also portraying herself as mentally unfit to be a psychiatrist, thanks to her maniacal ramblings suggesting that President Donald Trump will destroy the earth and everything in it. If there’s one thing we can learn from Dr. Lee, it’s that the patients are definitely running the asylum.
“The fact they are not pulling Bandy X Lee off the stage means they truly have nothing left.”
I disagree. It’s easy to gin up new stuff when the old stuff runs out. There are a million Chrissy Fords and Vindmans out there ready to say anything and throw themselves away to preserve the progressive project.
The whole point of trying to shape the Senate rules is to be able to call new witnesses with new accusations that we will spend months obsessing on and months discounting in the Senate while judges don’t get confirmed.
IMO, the endgame is tying up the Senate for the bulk of 2020.
totally agree with you. People with sever mental illness are attracted to the field. I suffer my self from bi-polar and at one point during my education was taking psychology courses because of a desire to figure out myself. Eventually I realized that going into this field of work would not be good for me or for others. I personally believe that a high percentage of psychologists and psychiatrist do more damage to there clients. I am not saying that anyone with problems should not seek help just be very aware that the person might be more sick then you.
‘Moron” bandy lee:
It’s a good thing we didn’t elect Goldwater- he might’ve gotten us into a land war in Asia with no exit strategy.
Nothing ever happens to these people. They just break laws, rules, standards, and sound off. The left is insulated at all levels.
In most stats psychiatrists are REQUIRED to have psychiatrists to keep them from going nucking futs from what they hear from their patients.
“Neuroses, personality disorders, and other mental health issues are very, very poorly understood.”
Neuroses are pretty well understood and successfully treated by Albert Ellis and Rational Emotive Therapy.
Not yet.
Here is earlier post discussions, citing Mark Levin’s pointed clever interview of this looney. Posted below this FR post link is the you tub copy of the full interview, in case the internal citing does not re-wind from levin’s podcast.
Listen to her obvious self-righteous anointing as a “saviour of the world” and self characterization as a “liberal and a conservative”. When, in fact she could very well be a Nork plant (via chi-com financing and placement) as part of the Diane Feinstein kompromat network downline. She is a committed “jesus was a socialist” communist, imho.

“I am not saying that anyone with problems should not seek help just be very aware that the person might be more sick then you.”
My first question is, how many of these dweeblemeisters voted for our President?
As an aside, would it be rational for any veteran to seek help from a Xlinton voter?
Be very afraid if these lunatics get more power. They are truly insane.
She was an unwitting guest on Mark Levin’s radio show in August 2019. She obviously did not know anything about Mark Levin. She was just media whoring herself out. Its a 30 minutes interview and he was very nice and dissected the crap out of her. Thoroughly enjoyablehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=snpK11tUT6o

Yale will probably give her a bonus. Ivy League schools seem to be breeding grounds of hate, intolerance and insanity.
“Physician” heal thyself.
Dr. Bandy Lee said, “we would be declaring a public health emergency that needs to be responded to as quickly as possible.

Okay, but what was the “dirty secret?”
After openly diagnosing Trump in multiple interviews, Dr. Lee has been accused of violating “the Goldwater Rule,” in which the American Psychiatric Association (APA) declared it “unethical for a psychiatrist to offer a professional opinion” on a public figure for whom they have neither given a face-to-face examination nor received legal consent to disclose said patient’s medical information, according to the Los Angeles Times.
It is the revelation Bandy X is involved in a conspiracy to take out the president via 25th amendment as evidenced by the exact same tactic used successfully against Barry Goldwater. That is really the point of the article, exposing the history of this political attack and recognizing the AMA put safeguards in place to make sure it doesn't happen again.
Goldwater successfully sued, but it was to late to save his election.
If this continues, at the right moment Trump can and will step in and legally crush Bandy X and all her co-conspirators.
The article is worth reading, if you have the time at the very least from the history lesson.
Bandy X Lee. Sounds like her stripper name.
