WASHINGTON — The Republican chair of the House Oversight Committee requested Sunday that President Joe Biden's physician appear for a transcribed interview about Biden's medical evaluation.

Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., said in a letter to Dr. Kevin O'Connor that he also sought to tie O’Connor to a series of inquiries he has made about Biden's relatives' businesses. Comer, a prominent critic of Biden's, for months has helped lead efforts for the Republican-led impeachment inquiry into Biden that has fizzled into nothing. Republicans did not provide evidence that Biden was engaged in any criminal actions, despite repeated claims otherwise.

Request. Come on. You know what the answer will be. Leads to summons and if it happens we’ll get more word salads. Election season. It’s all Kabuki. Totally indirect while trying to look direct.

Having said that they should go ahead. Strike while the iron is hot (or weak).

On which planet has Biden’s doc resided the past 3.5 years?

We all have know Biden was suffering from dementia since 2019. It is not age, it is the dementia!

Yep, it's malpractice added to Jill's elder abuse on top of Hunter's crimes - what is it with these people.

Absolutely.

For obvious reasons, people who are mentally impaired are difficult to convince of their impairment.

On top of that, Biden has always been prone to act out angrily (calling people "dog-faced pony soldiers" and the like). And he is more insulated than ever, now with only Dr. Jill and Hunter as his primary advisers.

The doctor, rightfully, needs to tell this clown to pound sand. Any information is privileged. Period.

Comer also asked O’Connor in the letter to provide documents and communications related to James Biden, the president’s brother, and a company Comer has long sought to tie to the Biden family’s financial conduct.


The issue is the dr received $200,000 from James Biden company

not in the article. a misdirect.

“If you have Wernicke’s Aphasia, you may:
String together words that sound like a sentence but don’t make sense.
Use the wrong words; for instance, you might call a fork a “gleeble.”
Add unnecessary words or create made-up words.
Struggle understanding what others are saying.
Have difficulty repeating back words or phrases.”

“Some people mistakenly think those with aphasia aren’t as smart as they used to be. But they can think; they just can’t say what they think.”

https://www.stroke.org/en/about-stroke/effects-of-stroke/communication-and-aphasia/stroke-and-aphasia/types-of-aphasia

“APHASIA (Uh-Fay-Zhuh) is a result of a STROKE or BRAIN INJURY, and affects a person’s ability to communicate. It is important to remember that you are still a competent adult, you know what you want to say, you can make your own decisions and you are not deaf. Aphasia usually comes on suddenly from a stroke or brain injury. But in rare cases it may develop gradually. This is called Primary Progressive Aphasia (PPA).”

Note: I’m not a doctor and I can’t accurately diagnose Joe. I can say medical experts should be consulted.

At this point in time, Joe answers to the DNC and his cabinet.

In mid-fall, Joe will answer to the voters, and his puppet masters need to have answers.

Why the rush by Republicans to get Biden off the ticket? Trump wants him in as the easiest one to beat. This can all wait until after Biden is nominated after the convention and cannot be replaced. Before then and they make it harder for Trump. They sound like desperate congressional Dems trying to get Biden out. Just shut the hell up.

Exactly. Comer is an idiot. And while Biden certainly has cognitive issues, no physician is going to speak about a patient’s health. The only time physicians were allowed to violate doctor/patient confidentiality was during COVID /s

The GOPe wants Biden off the ticket. They have been silent 3.5 years. Seems like they are afraid of a Trump victory.

“His entire left side was still paralyzed. He tired easily, and sometimes his speech slurred. In his weakness and exhaustion, he could find it hard to concentrate on a conversation, and Edith would have to gently prod him to respond. But he also had windows of clarity and wit. Maybe today would be one of those days?”
