"She said Biden was not being treated for Parkinson's."

Clever use of the present tense. She did not say he hadn't been treated for Parkinson's in the past, or that he wouldn't be treated in the future, just that he wasn't being treated at the time the denial was issued.

I can affirm to everybody on FR, as God is my witness, I'm not using the bathroom!!

Doesn't mean I didn't use it this morning and that I won't later tonight, but as I type this, I'm NOT using the bathroom.

"Was" is not present tense.

"Is not being treated" is present tense.

“Clever use of the present tense. She did not say he hadn’t been treated for Parkinson’s in the past, or that he wouldn’t be treated in the future, just that he wasn’t being treated at the time the denial was issued.”

“Wasn’t” and “was not,” is past tense. “Isn’t” and “is not” is present tense. Regardless, the gaslighting is undeniable.
