Throughout Biden’s presidency, conservatives have continually raised concerns about his mental and physical health as the oldest sitting president in U.S. history. Such concerns were only exacerbated following Biden’s poor debate performance against former President Donald Trump, where many within his own party no longer believe the incumbent is capable of defeating the Republican challenger and successfully completing a second term.
Moreover, there has been substantial speculation that Biden may suffer from Parkinson’s disease, leading to apparent complications with his motor skills and cognitive faculties. Recent reports that a Parkinson’s expert has visited the White House eight times have sparked further suspicions. Addressing these concerns, Parkinson’s expert Dr. Tom Pitts, who notably is a Democrat, recently appeared on NBC, where he opined that Biden is very likely suffering from the neurodegenerative disorder.
“Have you noticed anything that gives you a red flag as a doctor?” the NBC host asked Pitts. “Oh, yeah, I see him 20 times a day in clinic. I mean, it’s ironic, because he has just this classic features of neurodegeneration. I mean word finding difficulties, and that’s not, Oh, I couldn’t find the word that’s from degeneration of the word retrieval area,” the doctor responded.
Pitts continued, substantiating his observations about Biden’s cognitive health, explaining how the president’s rigid movements are a staple sign of Parkinson’s. During his public engagements, Biden can often be seen shuffling slowly in a very stiff manner. According to Pitts, his symptoms are so obvious that he could diagnose Biden “from across the mall.”
“Loss of arm swing, standing up robotically. You notice when he turns, it’s kind of end block turning. It’s not a quick turn … That’s one of the hallmarks of Parkinson’s is rigidity and bradykinesia, slow movement. And he has that hallmark, especially with the low voice he said was a cold hypophonia, a small monotone voice like this over time is a hallmark of Parkinsonism. I could have diagnosed him from across the mall,” the expert continued.
The host pushed back, suggesting that Parkinson’s was a difficult disease to diagnose, to which Pitts interjected that it was “one of the easier movement disorders to diagnose actually.” He added that, in this instance, it was not a “hard case” to conclude that Biden was suffering from the disorder. The expert also specified that he is a Democrat, implying he does not have any underlying political motivation to attack the president. “And I’m, you know, I’m a Democrat, I always say, it’s just like, this guy is not a hard case,” he said.
Drawing on his personal political leanings, Pitts expressed his disappointment that Democrats are refusing to look at the issue honestly. He expressed that the party had years to select a viable candidate but obviously failed to do so, creating a predicament where Democrats are trying to “do the homework” the day before school and replace Biden so close to the election. Watch the interview below:
“Well, because, you know, I’m an American before everything. And I look at it and say, when I used to see Russia, Soviet Union, North Korea, when they just make outrageous things, you know, like when, when North Korea can’t keep the lights on, and they say, oh, you know, it was some faulty power thing. I kind of hate that kind of stuff. They had four years. My own party had four years to find, you know, this was a wreck in slow motion, and they had four years to find, out of 350 million Americans, one person that could take the place. And here we are, the day before school, trying to do the homework and replace a guy who’s got a neurodegenerative disease.”
