Karine Jean‑Pierre is still out there insisting Joe Biden was mentally fit to serve, even as the country watched a string of alarming gaffes and a disastrous debate that cost the Democrats dearly. Her new public posture — defending Biden in interviews and in a memoir — reads less like courage and more like political spin-dressing to protect a party that would rather hide than fix a problem.
Remember when KJP told reporters that the president “passes a cognitive test every day” and scoffed at the idea of a brief clinical screening? That line was meant to reassure Americans, but it only raised the question everyone deserves answered: why avoid a simple, transparent cognitive exam if there’s nothing to hide?
The reality is plain: after a poor debate performance and growing public concern, Biden bowed out of a reelection bid and Democrats scrambled to explain away what millions of Americans clearly saw. Jean‑Pierre has criticized the party for handling his exit badly on television, but defending his mental acuity after the fact won’t erase the visual record that forced the hand of the party.
Conservatives have been right to demand accountability and a full explanation; the White House’s refusal to administer or release a cognitive screening only deepened the mistrust voters feel about transparency in Washington. The spin that “the president passes a cognitive test every day” is propaganda, not medicine, and Americans deserve facts, not comforting slogans.
Now Jean‑Pierre is publicly splitting from the Democrats and selling a memoir that casts her as the outraged conscience of a party that betrayed its leader — an odd role for someone who spent years covering for administration lapses. If she truly believes Biden was fit, she should put that claim where it matters: release medical records and support objective testing rather than rehearsing talking points on late‑night TV.
Enough with the theatrical defenses and the manufactured outrage. Patriots want clarity: a real, clinically validated cognitive assessment, an honest briefing from the president’s doctors, and accountability for those who put political loyalty above the national interest. Anything less is a betrayal of the millions of Americans who expect their leaders to be candid and competent.
Hardworking citizens know the stakes — the presidency is not a role for spin, it’s a job that demands sharpness, stamina, and candor. Jean‑Pierre can keep defending a narrative that comforts her friends, but the rest of us will keep insisting on truth and transparency until Washington starts treating that demand with the seriousness it deserves.
