Biden Campaign Refuses To Release Cognitive Test Results
July 3, 2020 By Jonah Gottschalk
Its been three days now since former Vice President Joe Biden told reporters that he’s been “tested and am constantly tested” for cognitive decline. The media has, unsurprisingly, swept this story under the rug, but the candidate’s claim still raises a lot of questions.
Who’s been doing these assessments? Why are we only hearing about these “constant” tests after the cognitive question has plagued the campaign for well over a year? And most importantly, Biden never actually said what any of the results were. So what were they?
The Biden Campaign has not responded to The Federalist’s request for those results.
It is one thing to claim a cognitive assessment would be insulting and refuse to take one. It is another to take it multiple times, only to hide the results. Biden himself didn’t even directly state they were good, but voters are left to assume it.
Cognitive deterioration is deadly serious, particularly if we’re discussing someone who could be in charge of the nuclear arsenal for eight years. While the topic should be discussed as the serious mental health issue it is, rather than fodder for campaign ads, the public has a right to know what exactly is going on.
It’s not as if questions about his cognitive status are not somehow confined to Infowars. A recent poll by Rasmussen showed nearly 40 percent of voters think the presumptive Democratic nominee has dementia, including 30 percent of independents likely to vote. One in five Democrats believe it as well. That’s not “may have dementia” either; that’s voters who are convinced Biden suffers from the disease.
After confirming the test’s existence, Biden said one more thing. “I can hardly wait to compare my cognitive capability to the cognitive capability of the man I’m running against.” Just one problem; Trump’s already done his side of the competition. In 2018, the President took a Montreal Cognitive Assessment as part of a medical exam. The President passed with a perfect score, which was confirmed by Rear Admiral and Doctor Ronny Jackson.
If Biden can’t wait to compare scores with his election opponent, he’s got everything he needs. He’s on the record stating he’s taken the assessment multiple times, and President Trump has already taken and released his results. So what is he waiting for?

You'd think that cognitive test results for a prospective President of the USA would be more important than past tax returns, but I guess that's what you get for thinking these days.

The MEDIA is now driving the bus. It is a short bus for sure. However, they will sweep this under the rug. Nothing to see here!

The D candidate always gets a pass.

But Trump won’t release tax returns. I worry way more about mental state then taxes, then again I am not a liberal.
Sent from my iPad . Squirrel!!

Wouldn't we much rather see how politicians serving the people became millionaires?

Part of my job requires that I periodically get training on Medicare fraud, and it comes with a warning that if one commits fraud, one could face jail time. They're dead serious about it - I personally know people who have been sent to federal prison.
Rush Limbaugh once gave a very good lesson on how politicians get so wealthy, and it's doing the very thing that will send you and I to jail.

Perhaps Biden's campaign will release cognitive data when the Trump campaign releases his taxes.

Which is more important? Just keep ignoring that Biden is mentally incompetent. But its OK because he embraces the Far Left now, right?

Why is Biden being constantly tested? That's what they did with my mother to measure the progression of her decline.
If you test once and it's good then you don't test constantly.

weeeeeeeeeeeeee, because tax returns are just as important as cognitive decline. ::) ::) ::) ::)

Exactly! Why would his wife and his closest people want him to be constantly tested?

Personal tax returns don’t show assets. They don’t show sources of income - just broad income categories. Tax returns without supporting documents aren’t terribly useful.

I’ve been saying that forever. His required federal financial disclosure contains much more information than a tax return.

You are a fucking moron, without the good sense to come in out of the rain.
And that’s on your good days.
Oh... and, I didn’t plagiarize that.

I think he intended to release that data,
but he forgot.

Exactly. My Stepfather's doctor ran a cognitive test on him. He didn't do well and he claimed it was because he worked a 14 hour shift the day before and got drunk afterwards. He went in for his test with a hangover after about 4 hours sleep.
The doctor ordered another test a week later. He aced that test and never had to have another.
