President Joe Biden’s physician Dr. Kevin O’Connor recently backed his boss’ “excellent” mental acuity on Thursday via NY Post. It is noted that the Republicans urged him to resign insisting that the president doesn’t have Parkinson’s or a related condition in what may be his first interview with a news outlet since Biden took office.
O’Connor has answered questions just four days after Biden abruptly ended his campaign for a second term as fellow Democrats called on him to step aside over his apparent mental decline as Biden repeatedly appearing confused in public, which medical pundits said could be due to Parkinson’s.
“Are you Dr. O’Connor?” a Post reporter asked the presidential physician on the White House driveway as he walked past the press briefing room.
“I don’t know. I don’t know,” he sheepishly replied — before making clear he was indeed the elusive doctor and proceeding to answer questions about the commander-in-chief, whose quest for a second term collapsed following his dismal June 27 debate performance against former President Donald Trump.
“How’s the president’s health?” The Post asked.
“It’s excellent,” O’Connor insisted with a smile. Biden doesn’t have Parkinson’s.
“Are you going to come to the briefing room to address us?” The Post inquired.
“Probably not,” answered O’Connor, who has never been allowed to brief the press during Biden’s more than three years in office — even though past presidential docs have taken questions during health crises.
“Could that change before the end of his term?” the journalist followed up.
